Keith, had a security concern just this morning. Significant indications and warnings of a violent attack on a church in my area were expressed via Facebook. The individual visited the church just this last Wednesday evening. All his postings have been removed, but not before sharing with local sheriff and city police. His FB postings are disturbing. His spiritual and mental conditions are suspect. I shared the idea of using your security training with one of the deacons. Although nothing happened in person, there seems to be a trend of distressed persons lashing out in violent ways seeking attention/help.

PLease allow me to mention citizens are looked at as reasonable — sound mind. Ordinary people. Female guardians I’d think would be evaluated based on size and weight of the bad guy. Versus a female training physical strength so on. A citizens concern for others safety, fear, even his or her own. I wouldn’t think courts believe armed citizens whom have never been involved in actual use of force either empty handed or with a weapon. Sure there is training, however, here in my town, Amarillo, I visited a small congregation having no plain clothes security agent. Courts should look at the reasonableness as human error (Murply’s Law) is — it just is. Even if you have excellent knowledge and experience.

We live in volatile times.

Super input here. Grateful. Immediate eminent threat to life an limb lethal force is ok no matter mental illnesses.
