re: Possible mass shooting averted Bellaire Baptist Church, Bossier City

You don't need one if you're in Texas, unless your church specifically prohibits non LTC holders.

I appreciate this caution. You should consider some light training. 50-100 rounds a week will have you good enough to be a useful protector within half a year.

i'm a pretty good shot, especially on a long gun and i probably go through about 200 rounds a year on pistols. i'm just not a big gun guy. i'm right wing as they come, but just don't like them personally outside of hunting. i think i'd be good in a situation, but at church there are much better trained people.

i've personally only bought 3 (30-06, 12 gauge, and a .38 for my wife when i'm gone) but i own about 20+ due to inheritance from my dad's side of the family who were a bunch of racist doomsday preppers. i work from home and actually have a S&W MP Shield right by me.

i'll probably sell some eventually, but my dad still has 1 of 7 brothers alive and I don't want to do that while they're alive.

Going to be a big problem when there are multiple shooters and not this lone wolf stuff.

After the TX church shooting, you'd have to be a fool not to pack in church.

When I'm on the field for games this thought crosses my mind every game.

Omg, I went to that church for probably 10 years

Oddly enough, sitting in church, I have thoughts of this happening.


Same. I’ve sat there planning out what I would do 100 times.

Sad that we’ve reached this point.

Same, which is why I carry in church

Have they released a picture yet? Only Christopher Strong I'm seeing in Bossier on Facebook is a black midget. My sister is FB friends with him

According to witnesses, an unidentified man entered the church’s live-streaming area during the morning service and placed a loaded firearm on the ground.

Probably a sawed off shotgun.

I thought I was weird for always carrying at church

Only searched with DuckDuckGo which could be the problem, but is it weird that only this loveshreveportbossier dot org website is the only place this story comes up in a search (besides this thread)?

Seems like it should be a bigger deal. Is this a legit local news website?

A tiny, black, midget mental patient

We have open carrying deputies, who park a vehicle out front, and church members who have been trained to carry inside & outside. Some are former FBI, CIA and Secret Service guys.
