This group didn't need to be told twice.
They showed up early, came ready to work, and spent the day doing exactly what armed church volunteers are supposed to do — train.
Church Safety Team 1.0 covered the foundational skills every armed protector in a house of worship needs to have. These men put in the work today and their congregations are better protected because of it.
To the churches represented here — you are well served.
Called to Protect. Trained to Act.

This is what we train for — not punching paper at a static range, but building the skills that actually hold up under pressure. Threat assessment, target acquisition, accuracy without slowing down.
