Keith, you mentioned having time to go to your truck to retrieve your AR and return to the church. I am assuming you have a large church. In my situation, we have a small church and I do not envision using my AR pistol inside the church.

Keith, you mentioned having time to go to your truck to retrieve your AR and return to the church. I am assuming you have a large church. In my situation, we have a small church and I do not envision using my AR pistol inside the church. I am concerned about engaging shooter(s) in the parking lot, mostly less than 60 yds away from our door. This could entail supporting our security person who stands at the foot of our sidewalk, about 25 yds, and greets/watches. Do you have any suggestions or considerations that we should be aware of?
Secondly, you shamed me, yes you did. :-). I have an AR pistol that I built with mixed parts, which I am sure you would not consider a good defensive weapon. So, can you provide some recommendations (like you did with radios) on good defensive weapons. Thanks
I am in what is considered a mega church (about 3,000 during the week at our main campus). I do have it available in the truck and it is secured there. You would need advanced tools to cut it out. Even in a small church, it is wise to have something on hand. It is more about "surgical accuracy" than anything. But again, it is all about the right rifle, ammunition and training. Train, Train, Train. Then traid some more.
As for a quality AR, look at LMT, Daniel Defense, Primary Weapons Systems, and the like. Look at what major SWAT teams use and the military and you'll have your answer.

HI John,
