[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 1765953, member: 4899"] [url]http://americanvisionnews.com/2741/concealed-carry-saves-church-from-shotgun-intruder[/url] A South Carolina sheriff is praising a man with a concealed weapons permit who helped disarm someone who kicked in the door of a church armed with a shotgun. Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright made national news last year when he urged all women in his county to get a permit to carry a gun after a woman was raped in a park. He said Sundays incident shows how citizens carrying a legal weapon can stop crimes and prevent bloodshed. Jesse Gates had already been to the Southside Freewill Baptist Church in Boiling Springs once Sunday morning, so the pastors grandson was keeping his eye on the parking lot when he saw Gates come back, this time taking a shotgun out of his trunk, Wright said. They locked the door and they were calling 911 at the time. He didnt draw his weapon or make any move or action toward this gentleman until he kicked the door open and forced the issue, Wright said. After Gates kicked in the door, the pistol pointed at him distracted him enough that the pastor was able to grab the shotgun. Members of the church kept him down until deputies arrived, Wright said.
