I have authored and help implement security plans for numerous churches in the Dallas suburbs. On any given Sunday, somewhere between 5% and 35% of the people in attendance are armed. Even so, if someone comes in and wants the collection, we would hand it over with no resistance. The last place we need a gunfight is in a crowded church santuary where the backdrop to any shot is liable to be your "brother or sister in the Lord".

If someone from another faith shows up at our church, we'll offer them a donut and a cup of coffee.
Sectarian violence is so far down our list of likely threats that it hardly merits consideration.
