Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Being Armed in Church

Yep.

This is a gun thread not a religion thread, and it appear Brother Wabigoon needs our help!!!

You you have a holster for that Shield?

Have you carried it often?

Do you practice with it much?

I have a holster, I'd shoot it a lot if I was going to take it along, and sit at the rear.

I wouldn't go into a Church unarmed...there's religious people in there:)

Why would you not carry while in Church?

Though I would certainly give some serious consideration to the weapon.

If you really want to stay with the single-six platform, at least step up to a single seven in 327 Fed Magnum.

If you really just wish to stay with a revolver, look to the Ruger LCR in 327, 38, or 357. Or one of the many S&W J or K frames available.

I carry a LCRx in 327 in my pocket. It is loaded with 120 gr hard cast flat point over a maximum charge of H110.

ETA: Just saw the part about the Shield. That ought to do it.

Out of your mentioned options Id say the Shield is the best bet. Get some good hollow points....I used 147gr Federal HST when I used my Shield, those shot the best for me out of that gun. Most importantly put in alot of time and rounds shooting it, make sure to include drawing it from whatever holster you plan on using, while dressed similar to how you will be dressed for church.....shirt tucked/untucked etc.

Here ya go man lol

Popeye squirt gun. You know what to do, it loads from the rear. haha

Practice with the 9mm.
Leave the .22 at home.

Shooting a handgun is a perishable skill.
If your gonna carry it.
Be proficent with it.
Shoot it once or twice every other week or more if you can.
You live out in the willy whacks, should not be a problem to set
Ya self up a decent range from 3 yds to 25 yards.

Like being able to hit a grapefruit to small cantaloupe size target at 15 yds at least with all the rds in a mag.


Consistently....
And under duress/stress.....


All JMO.....

Does Iowa require a carry permit??????

This is the Shield, and holster. a couple of you folks are welcome join us, and sit behind me, try to sing on key, and not too loud. (small smile)

You're going to be a little undergunned with a single action .22 rimfire. My daily carry piece is a Polish P-64 9X18 with Hornady 100 grain hollowpoint handloads. It's 6+1 with one spare magazine, and if I've got my pants on, it's in a Remora IWB holster. If I still went to church that carry routine wouldn't change. From a seated position in the pews, especially if you wear a suit or another cover garment of some type, you might want to consider a shoulder rig for quicker access without having to stand up or draw attention to yourself by making any quick movements while drawing. The video of the recent church shooting seems to show at least one defender getting killed while attempting to draw his weapon.

LOL!!!!!

Leave the old dude alone man.

They already got enough issue,s having a woman pastor.
Without adding popeye into the equation .
Lol!!!!
She should be carrying also. Since she has the most commanding veiw of the place.



Biggest thing I would worry about is a buncha people packing heat from here on out and not knowing if anyone is proficent and can hit schitt other than the other church attendee,s.


Idea.....


Church heat packers regularly scheduled practice sessions..........
And someone who has a concept/eye of security in a building.
Takes all the "heat packers" and you all assign areas you always sit in and practice DRY FIRE in the church itself.

Ding ding ding.......

An Iowa carry permit still allows for the concealed or open carrying of handguns, rifles and shotguns, excluding those classified by Iowa law as offensive weapons (federal NFA or Class 3). An Iowa carry permit also allows the concealed carrying of other non-firearm dangerous weapons such as knives with blades in excess of five inches, switchblade knives, TASERs/stun guns or any other dangerous weapon.

So if you wanted to stick on of these in the gym bag under the hymnal, you could:

crazy times if its the norm to carry in Church

I guess every organized religion has to think about this now in America

Our church has uniformed officers on the premises whenever the church is open and plainclothes in the congregation during services. The possibility of collateral damage from untrained folks getting involved in any shooting situation that may arise is something many including myself are not comfortable with. Dealing with a shooter in church is best left to professionals familiar/trained to deal with threats like this kind of scenario may present.

Times have changed, still, the early Christians had to meet in secret, and avoid being fed to lions.

Guns, our church is not the big.

Just wing him enough wabi to stop him.
While he is bleeding out on the floor.
Say some cold blooded schitt like this, right before you gakk his Azz!!!


LOL!!!






all that aside, if your gonna pack.
Practice.
Practice..
Practice...
And always carry with one in the tube.
Seconds count......
