NOVAE MILITIAE

I asked in this blog entry, "Where their protectors"? http://novaemilitiae.squarespace.com/st-george-brigade/2006/10/6/where-were-their-protectors.html . Other relevant entries here concerning the question of whether or not Christian men should arm themselves:

This from the American Rifleman's "The Armed Citizen" column:

Samuel Mitchell was exiting his church after choir practice, unaware that two blocks away events were in motion that would chnage his life. Police say that a robber attempted to rob a man and a woman, and the victims fled in opposite directions. The suspect pursued the female toward the church, where Mitchell had gotten into his truck. As he was leaving the parking lot, the woman climed into Mitchell's vehicle and pleaded for help. When the suspect caught up, he stuck a pistol inside the truck window and announced a carjacking. Mitchell, who has a concealed carry permit, responded by producing his own pistol and shooting the man, who died at the hospital. (Arkansas Democrat Gazette, Little Rock, AR, 09/15/06)
