      That’s the real struggle with church security...it is impossible for everyone to know everyone.

      More congregations deal with you exact scenario than you think.

      Way to stay vigilant, sounds like Romans 8:28 being acted out before you

        I hope some unarmed person “acting funny” doesn’t get taken out by an untrained and trigger happy CHL holder. It’s not going to play well.
        A guy walking toward you in a public place— backpack or not, doesn’t seem like a reason to draw to me. I wasn’t there, but practicing restraint in the reality we live in is going to be harder for some than others— and more importantly, absolutely necessary.

          I agree. Part of the problem is folks are amp'd up a bit just following a shooting.

          In our case we don't take it lightly.

          1) Background checks and serious evaluation of safety team members is conducted.
          2) Clear guidelines and well defined plans are established. (includes natural disaster plans, which is a much more likely situation.)
          3) Members are required to attend training to include scenario based drills.

          At the end of the day everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions and hopefully we can weed out folks with a hero complex.

              thanks so much for the thread. Our church is initiating a security team as well and are in process of finding a person/persons that does formal training of this type for groups.
              Is a shame we have the necessity for it but we must protect ourselves.

                            I’m suprised an off-duty Officer would stick out like that. I’ve been a cop 16 years and I can assure you people at at my church don’t know
