Keith, you say probably 40% of your church attendees are armed on any given Sunday; my church (AZ) is probably similar. Have you or someone done anything to “educate” your armed attendees on what to do and not do if there is a situation that requires your security team to draw their weapons in order to not escalate things and ensure everyone knows who “the bad guy is”?

Yes, we hold a CCW holders meeting on a Saturday morning and feed them breakfast. The security team comes in and we talk about what we will do if something bad were to happen and what we expect them to do. We found it a great recruiting tool to get people on the team as well.
How would you go about explaining the "do's and don'ts to members who carry every week? Some will do what they feel is best, but to have that outline/expectation presented is beneficial. Can you share some ideas, please? Thank you!
