Churchgoer Tries to Hide Gun After Accidentally Shooting It Mid-Prayer

Read the comments and memes, some are stupid/pathetic, some are funny.

I don't know what is more disturbing, the events of the article or the uninformed comments. Why wouldn't one carry in church? 18 church shootings in 11 years (A comprehensive list)

It's Gawker. They make Kos look like a bunch far right conservatives. Better to click the link in the piece to get to the original story.

I'm not asking to be argumentative, I mean this as a serious question, but are you in the mindset that if there are any shootings then carrying is justified?

Carrying is "justified" whether there are any shootings or not. Your safety is your concern.

He is just providing a link showing that churches are not exempt from attacks in an effort to inform. Those who would claim that they don't need any protection in church compared to anywhere else are the ones who are misinformed.

Exactly.

I thought I read somewhere that there is no such thing as firing a gun "accidentally"?

No holster??

I realize I'm definitely in the minority but I sure do like firearms with old fashioned safeties. But according to some on the internet that .001 second it takes me to thumb that safety off is bad.... What's a man to do....

Another victory for pocket carry!

When is carrying of a firearm *NOT* justified?

Looked like a small, single-stack - like a Ruger LCP or something. (The original article has a picture of the gun being "hidden" in a church bulletin.)

One of the comments, said, I don't have a problem with guns, but why do you have to have one in the chamber ?????

If any of you have not watched the show about Gun Free Zones that was on Outdoor channel last week, you need to do so. It can be viewed on Outdoor channels web site.

Looked like a small semi auto of some sort, from the picture of the guy trying to hide it.

I think that carrying is justified everywhere because bad things can happen anywhere. I was just pointing out that bad things can happen in church.

You are correct. The Altoona Mirror report was straight forward.
