After what happened in South Carolina, the idea of anyone pulling a gun in church is terrifying. It happened in Florida on Sunday, but thankfully no one was hurt . . . all thanks to one awesome pastor.
Les Snodgrass is the pastor at The Door Christian Fellowship Church in Melbourne, Florida. Yes, he has a cool name too.
He was giving a sermon on Sunday morning on the value of life, when a 21-year-old guy named John Grace stood up, pulled out a gun, and demanded money.
So Les approached him slowly, and started talking to him to calm him down. Then when he got close enough . . . he tackled the guy.
As soon as he had him down, his son joined in to help hold him until the cops got there.
It turned out John’s gun was a BB gun, but he was still charged with armed robbery.
