The following excerpt is from The Complete Book of Bible Answers, by Ron Rhodes
THE BIBLICAL CASE FOR SELF-DEFENSE. It is noteworthy that the Bible records many accounts of fighting and warfare. The providence of God in war is exemplified by His name YHWH Sabaoth ("The LORD of hosts"--Exodus 12:41). God is portrayed as the omnipotent Warrior-Leader of the Israelites. God, the LORD of hosts, raised up warriors among the Israelites called the shophetim (savior-deliverers). Samson, Deborah, Gideon, and others were anointed by the Spirit of God to conduct war. The New Testament commends Old Testament warriors for their military acts of faith (Hebrews 11:30-40). Moreover, it is significant that although given the opportunity to do so, none of the New Testament saints--nor even Jesus--are ever seen informing a military convert that he needed to resign from his line of work (Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 3:14).
Prior to His crucifixion, Jesus revealed to His disciples the future hostility they would face and encouraged them to sell their outer garments in order to buy a sword (Luke 22:36-38; cf. 2 Corinthians 11:26-27). Here the "sword" (Greek: maxairan) is a dagger or short sword that belonged to the Jewish traveler's equipment as protection against robbers and wild animals. A plain reading of the passage indicates that Jesus approved of self-defense.
Self-defense may actually result in one of the greatest examples of human love. Christ Himself said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:14). When protecting one's family or neighbor, a Christian is unselfishly risking his or her life for the sake of others.
Theologians J. P. Moreland and Norman Geisler say that "to permit murder when one could have prevented it is morally wrong. To allow a rape when one could have hindered it is an evil. To watch an act of cruelty to children without trying to intervene is morally inexcusable. In brief, not resisting evil is an evil of omission, and an evil of omission can be just as evil as an evil of commission. Any man who refuses to protect his wife and children against a violent intruder fails them morally."
Get your training from Eric Story and you too will be prepared to protect the ones you love..
Yes, as Christians we should cling to our Bibles and our Guns. In today's world you can not be too prepared or too cautious. Texas law allows for our citizens to carry a concealed handgun in order to protect Life and Property.

Passing of a Real Hero - Arrangements have been made.
In the early evening of November 21, 2011, a real American Patriot, Stan Smith, left this world to be with his Savior and the love of his life that went before him a number of years ago.
It's Not Like There Was No Warning
Just hours before Eric Holder’s announcement concerning the planned terror attack on US soil, I warned about this very threat. My warning stated we had several areas we had reason to be concerned about. They included the threat from Islamist Terrorists and the Mexican Drug Cartels.
Reasons to Have a Concealed Handgun License in Texas
America is seeing a breakdown in our society as never before. The drug war on our border has now spilled over onto the streets of our cities, an infiltration of Islamists that will do anything and everything they can to force Islam and Sharia down our throats and a continually declining economy make our communities a dangerous place to live, work, and raise our families. Add to that the violence we are now seeing in protests beginning in New York and now spreading across the nation and you have a recipe for disaster. You can be ready to face these threats.

The course was great! Eric has obviously invested a lot of time preparing and he knows of what he teaches. The course is $150 at Top Gun.

If you have ever thought about it or considered taking the CHL Course then I must say there is no better time than now and no better Course instructor than Eric Story. If you have any questions about CHL then connect with him. YOU will be glad you did! I am.
