I just couldn't imagine in a lifetime going to church with armed guards. But then again; I truly do go to an old small white church in the woods on a hill with a population of about 45 on a good day. We have them on every street around here. In the towns; the churches are bigger; they might some day have armed gaurds; but I haven't heard of any of them having them now. What a world we live in.
I live in the DC region and do almost all of my hunting with bows and arrows; I'd have to drive almost 200 miles to the nearest halfway reasonable place to hunt with firearms. I don't carry guns around and the one place I normally go where I'd be tempted to i.e. Baltimore, it would be a major crime.
Nonetheless I am assuming all of that could change very quickly. Several years back we had two slammites pretty much shut the entire region down for two or three weeks on a shooting spree with a rifle which could as easily have been a flintlock given the way they were using it, i.e. one shot and then scoot, and you have to wonder what happens when AQ and CAIR finally break bad and go for it and you have several thousand people like that out there thinking they have a hunting license for ordinary Americans.
That's aside from pure lunatics like the shooter in the church of course.
And the only thing that gun control laws do is make life easier for people like Muhammed and Malvo and the lunatics, and harder for ordinary people.
