They attack airplanes and army bases more often if you believe the news.

Still, places where citizens can't carry.

We don't have any reason to go to schools, but we do carry to, and in, the church house and pretty much everywhere else we go including the Drs'. office, the hospital and other places where bad people may be lurking.

WELL SAID

Seriously, if one thinks about where all the newsmaking deranged shooters were:

Fort Hood (more than once)
Schools like Columbine and the Amish School, and the one in Russia, etc
Colleges like Virginia Tech, U.T, in Austin (Charles Whitman) etc.
Here's a list of school shootings (except I don't see the ones in/near Russia) http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0777958.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and all these Church shootings http://www.google.com/search?q=church+s ... lz=1I7GGIC" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls= ... f&oq=&aqi=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and others

One should realize that places where people are NOT likely to be armed, are the same "target rich" places the "deranged devil worshipers" CHOOSE to go to commit their crimes.

I believe that's the reason legislation passed allowing Churches among other places, to decide for themselves whether to allow Congregations to protect themselves and their brothers and sisters, or to put up a sign informing the "deranged devil worshipers" that a particular place is "target rich"

Welcome and ...
The above posts are correct. I have nothing to add except ...
(There have been way too many shootings at churches for us not to protect each other in church..... just Google "church shooting") SO, my church will NOT put up a 30.06 sign, since Pastor, other preachers, half the congregation and all but 1 deacon are carrying CHLs.
