In this second half of the conversation with Brad Larson, the hosts ask Brad how he responds to other Christians that challenge his stance on concealed carry and self-defense. We talk a lot about pacifism and why some believe this approach is appropriate for a Christian. Evil will always exist on this side of heaven and there is not a one-size-fits-all response to evil. Brad shares how in spite of carrying a weapon as both a police officer and civilian for many years, violence has never been his first reaction to conflict. However, he has always made it a point to be ready to protect the defenseless. Should we sit idly by and allow evil to thrive unhindered? Where do you draw the line?
