Some Jews are learning the right, prudent lesson from the PIttsburgh Pogrom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Indianapolis talk radio host Tony Katz describes his epiphany<\/a>:<\/p>\n

What happened in Pittsburgh is my nightmare scenario. For a few years now, on my radio shows in Indianapolis, I have said as loud and as clear as I can that any Jew who attends religious services without a firearm is risking their life and the lives of the ones they love.<\/p>\n

But, in truth, I\u2019ve never said it so kindly. I\u2019ve said that nothing in America is more of a soft target than a synagogue on a Friday night or a Saturday morning. I discuss all houses of worship; synagogues, churches, mosques \u2013 they are all soft targets. I have argued that laws that prevent carrying a firearm in a house of worship where there is also a school are wrong, and should be changed (and, if necessary, ignored.)<\/p>\n

The purpose of being trained and carrying a firearm is to protect yourself AND the ones your love. That means children: your children. Why would you ever put yourself in a position not to protect them? Why, as a society, would we ask this of any parent or guardian?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
