Should part of the action plan for a church involve talking with the local police? Should a pastor call the local police department?
Should a family have an action plan in case of an emergency? What might that look like?
Isaac and Keith ask Huascar Rivera (retired State Police Lt. Colonel), in light of recent church shootings as well as other mass shootings, what is your opinion/feeling on people carrying concealed weapons for sake of protection, even to church? What advice do you have for churches to do what they can to prevent a mass shooting at their church? What do you think about security cameras and/or security systems put up on church property? Are Christians not trusting the Lord in making such decisions? How important is it for churches to foster a good relationship and communication with Police in their community? Any advice for pastors desiring to reach out to law enforcement?
Is it dangerous to allow the average citizen to own and carry a weapon? Why or why not?
Do stricter gun laws lead to decreased violence?
Isaac asks Huascar Rivera (retired State Police Lt. Colonel), speaking as a law enforcement specialist, having spent most of your life in this field, when you see the violent attacks happening around us do you think that tougher gun control laws will help?

Isaac asked Sam, how do you respond when someone like Jimmy Kimmel who attacks President Trump and conservatives on a daily basis decides to remain mostly silent on the current controversy over men in Hollywood who are being accused of these horrible acts? How do you respond to this hypocrisy?
What is unity? What does it look like in a nation? Does it mean that we must agree on everything?
