I've spoken at enough anti-war rallies in 2007/2008 and am beginning to feel that I might be a target someday for someone who supports the war. I do not invite my children and grandchildren to accompany me.
I think that someone would be quicker on their feet than someone trying to dig a gun out of their purse. And what is a small, purse sized, gun going to do to a man with that kind of weapon? I suppose that some people do carry larger handguns, but I can't see it in a church.
I hope that the NRA doesn't ride this to death. That would be very disrespectful to the victim's families and the survivors.
