The article does not specify whether the guy who fired the gun inside a church had a CHL.

But it sounds like he had a concealed handgun.

He could be in some pretty serious trouble.

It's probably not wise to fire warning shots inside a building.

This begins to answer the questions asked in regards to whether warning shots are a good idea.

I pray he does not have a CHL. If he does, he won't for long.

Sounds like he didn't take the time to learn PC §9.33 and is now going to pay the price.

and fired several rounds into the air

Ugh. Never, ever, a good idea... Hopefully not a CHL holder.

*sigh* CHL does not stand for "Citizens Hero License"

Best to be a good witness and just call 911. Only pull gun to defend yourself against serious injury or death. This is the rule that I live by.

Church at 10:00 PM on Fiday night? That's after sundown Friday and a day and a half before Sunday. What kind of church is this anyway?

My word, what's this world coming to?

Arapaho United Methodist Church is there..

Upon first reading, I thought it could be a synagogue... Shabbat (the Jewish sabbath) is sundown Friday to nightfall on Saturday evening and Friday night services are quite common. However, this is not the case... I Googled "Solomon's Porch" and it's a non-denominational, Christian church in Richardson.

A world where some people want God in their life more than one day a week?

I love the understatement by their PD spokesman, "It was effective, but it was a poor decision."

The church name is in the article. It is called Solomon's Porch. I am gonna guess the guy had a CHL if they didn't also charge him with UCW.

Fixed that, yes I did.

Not unusual for churches to have activities for young people on a Friday night - to keep them out of doing undesireable things elsewhere. Sounds like this one did not work out very well.

Pretty rowdy church social!
