Thank you for your mindset. I agree, as Christians this is a great time to show the hope that is in us.

Muslims do not need "fatwa" to commit murder. It's what they do.

Just a data point. There are many tankers over the US. KC135/KC46. Usually, indicative of operations involving aircraft with short legs. Most likely fighters flying caps over large cities or big airports. Just a data point. Might be nothing, might be something. Pray up folks. It's about to get bumpy and it's going to leave a bruise.

Thank you for your diligence in the face of opposing forces that don’t have the mindset, that Church security is woefully lacking! Thank you for all the great information and advice on keeping our people safe.

Very good info and much appreciated! So unfortunate, but let’s face it, most of us knew it was high probability when last Admin and Congress, allowed the open border!!!

Kieth, thank you for stopping long enough to hear what God asked you to do, and then more importantly following up and doing it. Love what you put out. Was listening to the advice you where giving out about City Church.

I’m happy to say that at our church we implemented what we call secret servants. That’s where we have someone assigned get to know someone who is knew to the church. Offering them a coffee for the coffee bar, show them around the church, and smother them with love. When we do this, it immediately tells us if someone is truly there to find a church home or if they might have other intentions.

If there is a feeling that they might have other intentions then finding a church home, we basically smother them with love. They will either abort their mission or just leave. If they stick around, we’ll have several sets of eyes watching their every move.

It’s kinda like when I worked retail, if we knew we had a shoplifter we gave them extra customer service. Then they knew we were watching them and they would most the time just leave.

You can have whatever attorney you want with Attorneys on Retainer (AoR): AoR furnishes their own team of counselors as well, in addition to the one of your choice. In the member portal of AoR there is a whole section where you provide info on who your attorney of choice is, if you so choose.

No company can tell you that you can't have your own attorney. You always have the right to have the attorney of your choice, by virtue of being a citizen.

What the insurance based outfits (like Right to Bear, aka RTB) *can* do is deny liability coverage (money) to *pay for* that attorney. So the irony is, with RTB you are hazarding yourself more with this than you would be with AoR. People with RTB and other such outfits can say, "I get to pick my own attonrey!" Yes, you can do that with *any* of the outfits. The issue is, when that attorney racks up the bill, how are you going to pay it?

That's the central idea with self-defense-insurance to begin with, i.e. covering the costs. RTB, USCCA, and others are insurance outfits: an adjuster is going to determine if they payout on your claim or not. With AoR, you can have your own chosen attorney in addition to the AoR counsel and resources; the critical difference is that the AoR membership is a fee agreement to have a law firm (the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm) on retainer, hence the name, "Attorneys on Retainer": the expenses (including that of your chosen attorney) are taken on by AoR, not billed to you, the client, and not with recoupment clauses or anything like that. There is no parent, insurance company, or an adjuster: it's you and the firm. AoR is an entirely different model than RTB, USCCA, CCW Safe, etc.

If you want to know what you are *actually* getting with RTB, then you need to do what RTB says themselves, in their Terms and Conditions, section II.) part C: contact Moultrie Insurance LLC and request a copy of the Policy. RTB doesn't even furnish this Policy on their site. Again, per RTB's own words, you need to contact Moultrie Insurance and get a copy of it.

Do you have an affiliation with AoR because this seems like an awfully long comment from someone with only a casual relationship with this company? There’s an old saying, “When a rock gets thrown into a pack of dogs, the one that barks is the one that got hit.” Seems like you’re doing a lot of barking.

No, I'm just a guy who wants the best coverage for myself and for others. I'm taking the time and effort to inform others; I would like to think that is more than "barking." We're supposed to be Christians, right? Helping your fellow man isn't supposed to be castigated. And not 'keeping the light under a basket' isn't supposed to be relegated to barking. Go check out the Terms and Conditions at RTB and read them yourself. Me telling people what the truth is shouldn't be denigrated as if I'm doing something wrong or suspect.

Keith I agree completely with your assessment. As a retired Army Infantry CSM I see what could be heading our way. My problem and I am asking for advice is that I am on a supposed church security team that I call a group of men with a gun. Our team leader is a retired LE but doesn’t think that we only need one person on duty at a time sitting behind a counter in the church lobby. We have zero communications, no radios, training or any kind of meetings. I have been a team leader at three different churches and try to give him recommendations and he just blows me off. I am totally frustrated with him and the church leadership. They are afraid to tell the congregation there is a safety and security team. My fear is if we ever had an incident with a lone wolf it would be a total disaster and people would get killed. What can I do brother? Bill Miller

Thank you for your service, Sergeant Major, to our country and to the Lord! The problem you’re having is one that a lot of others are having as well. I have no easy answer for you. It is absolutely frustrating. You’re going to have to play the Long game, which sucks because you’re worried about your people. You are just going to have to keep trying to educate everybody. Another way is to just go rogue and start putting training together and see who shows up. Don’t forget to keep praying to the Lord and giving him time to answer you with a way to deal with this.

I just switched to Substack. Much better than YouTube.

Keith, I did quiz u s c c a about church security, and the only caveat was that you are not employed.You are strictly a volunteer. They said they would cover that a hundred percent for whatever your plan is.

I have had the platinum plan for about 6 years now. I'm very happy with the service to this point.
