Absolutely. Somehow I expect the far left will find a way to condemn this church for that.

Actually it's a good idea to have guards around all churches.

They don't need to look that far to condemn the Church... the Church is religious and promotes belief in G-d, ergo it is bad. The gun thing is just icing on the cake.

Yep, I love it.
The story posted here doesn't say if she was carrying the gun legally as an armed security guard, so I have to assume she was bonded to carry and use her weapon to protect. Am I wrong? It seems to me the story was "lite" and did not present all the information necessary to understand the point, if there was one, of the writer; it was poorly written.
The LA Times article I also linked to said this:
The Rev. Boyd, who introduced Assam, stressed that all church guards were volunteers who worshiped at the church and were legally allowed to carry guns.
"Given the events of the past 24 hours, you understand why there is a need to provide security to the people who worship there," Boyd said.

Especially those that give credit to God.

Any reason why al-AP would come at it from this angle? Hmmm? Any reason at all?
Most people in stressful situations do not know they even cussed.
So the internal investigation by the police was wrong to fire her.
That she was a police officer does not mean why she was fired is public knowledge.
How did the press learn why she left? Why did the press violate her privacy to tell us?
Just the press being bad to people. She is not a public figure as a security guard, or even being one who had to fire a gun at someone. She is an individual and the press should not snoop into people's lives! Or tell others! She should be praised and left alone. She did what she had to do to protect herself, and others legally!

But I can't. It's a Jewish thing. We avoid using any name of G-d, even in writing, except when absolutely necessary, as in prayer. It is a sign of reverence for G-d.
And no, it isn't hatred. Contempt is a better word. :D

What's ironic is I heard on ABC news yesterday that the press applauded her when she entered the room for a press conference. Maybe al-AP was too busy looking for a negative angle to put their hands together and clap.
