ANOTHER CASE OF GUNS SAVING LIVES

OK - We have all just been made aware via the news media that several church goers were killed recently by a gun wielding teenager. The bigger story from my perspective as the "PA Citizen" is the story of lives saved because the church had the uncanny foresight to have an armed "Security Team" that took quick action and killed the mentally unbalanced gunman. How many lives were saved will never be known, but when you measure it against other similar occurrences when unarmed, helpless victims waited for assistance from law enforcement the difference may be drastic. Since response time by our boys in blue is sometimes hampered by distance, procedures they must follow once on the scene, and a fear of making a bad situation worse, another alternative must be considered. In my opinion, that alternative is "the right to carry a concealed weapon". Someone on the "inside" seeing what is going on, can save lives. This is the real story that is being ignored regarding the church shootings and the Heroes on the Church Security Team. Hats off to some real americans.
