In September, a former Deacon of Lakeland Church in Florida killed
his wife then shot a couple clergymen at the church. Parishioners tackled
the man after he started shooting and subdued him until the authorities

“If
we can’t feel safe in the church, where can we feel safe?” Johnson
asked.

going to be the case all the time.
Crime does not discriminate. Just because it is a place of worship does
not mean it is exempt.
Not to mention the fact there’s places like Georiga which have bans on carrying in churches specifically enforced by law.
