What was it?

I believe it was a bludgeoning/beating..... Horrible.

A beating that ended in a bag taped over his head. Suffocated to death.

If my church ever gave me official notice, I'd give them my official notice, too...I'll pray that Longtooth's situation settles out quietly...they told us in CHL renewal we'd be astonished to know how many North Texas pastors carry...

I have been told that too, and remind them that the world is His world too, but he allows man choices which means bad people can make bad choices to do bad things in His church buildings or in His world all the same as we can do good things. Why would He supernaturally prevent bad men from doing bad things in church buildings but not in the world? amazingly, I have even been told this by CHL holders who say it is proper to carry outside the church building, just not inside. Keep in mind there are church shootings regularly, only a few make nationwide media. Some of them are shootings at gangbangers funerals and the like.

Sad.... I guess churches I work with know I'm a big RBA advocate and assume I carry anyway. One church specifically asked me to carry one night as they were concerned about an odd phone call they received. If I were asked to not carry, I would likely ask "really, then what's YOUR sermon gonna be on?" Perks of being a preacher I guess.

No sir.
Yea you dont need one here.
Sure hope not.
Another member that knows from Practical Personal Defense: He's got one, you just dont know where it is.

This one may not be the laughing matter others have been. Hope I dont have to find another Church.

Even if.... I can't imagine any church calling police on a member for something like that. Just conceal more and have at it.
