Going to church? Take your gun

It won't happen around here, but if you are in Marengo (that would be Ohio, north of Columbus (not the first Marengo you think of, if you live in McHenry County, Ill.)), you might want to drop in at Faith Baptist Church. And here's another reason to head over there:

You can take a weapons training class there that includes two hours on a member's private shooting range and qualify for a Ohio concealed carry permit (maybe only if you are an Ohio resident).

You missed the July 17 training (do you suppose they pray before going to the range?), but I'll bet they have another one coming up. And you can be pretty sure that no robber is going to hit the church in the middle of the sermon and think he is going to make off with the offering.

The original story in The Daily seems to be gone, but you can read a story about the story here.

Many thanks to a reader in Florida who tipped me off to this story.
