Concerns over security at places of worship are increasing in the wake of massacre after massacre in "no-guns" (victim disarmament) zones across the country. With an increasing demand for information about what is needed to adequately prepare for the threat has come increased opportunities for the type of training necessary to more adequately prepare.

One such opportunity is being offered by Buckeye Firearms Association this fall, when Lt. Col. Dave Grossman comes to Ohio to deliver his intense, one-day mind training workshop "The Bulletproof Mind: Tactical Mindset for Armed Citizens". Buckeye Firearms Association is encouraging CHL-holders, members of law enforcement, church and school security leaders (mature teen or adult family members also welcome) from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia to attend.

After having written several articles recently on the need for attention to the problem of defenseless places of worship in Ohio, and as a person who believes one can never have too much training, I was encouraged to have been contacted by Jeff Hawkins, Director of Security at the Creation Museum located just outside of Cincinnati.

Designed by a former Universal Studios exhibit director, the Creation Museum is a state-of-the-art, 65,000 square foot museum that brings the pages of the Bible to life by presenting a “walk through history.” After reading my article "New Life Church Pastor Brady Boyd speaks out on church security preparedness", Mr Hawkins contacted me to let me know about a seminar he conducts on the museum campus, entitled “Security for Faith-Based Organizations.”

For gun control proponents and opponents a lot is riding on a former security guard for the Supreme Court Annex. Next Tuesday , the Supreme Court will hear arguments over whether the District of Columbia's ban on handguns and its requirement that any rifles or shotguns remain locked violates the plaintiff, Dick Heller's, constitutional rights.

Whatever the court decides, no one expects them to end gun control any more than the First Amendment's "congress shall make no laws" has prevented the passage of campaign finance regulations. The decision is likely to be limited to just whether a ban "infringed" on "the right of the people to keep and bear arms."

If the D.C. ban is accepted by the court, it is hard to believe that any gun regulation will ever be struck down. If the court strikes it down, where the courts draw the line on what laws are considered "reasonable" regulations will take years to sort out .

Thus far the District of Columbia has spent a lot of time making a public policy case. Their argument in their brief to the court is pretty simple : "banning handguns saves lives."

Yet, while it may seem obvious to many people that banning guns will save lives, that has not been D.C.'s experience.
