It's Detroit, so you shouldn't be so surprised that its clergy are armed. But this Detroit pastor was able to defend himself and his congregation when he was threatened and attacked.

The 37-year-old pastor pulled out a gun and shot the man multiple times. Authorities say the pastor had been trying to help the man, but those efforts had gone south.

Investigators said four or five shots were fired from the Glock handgun.

"The suspect entered the church, he allegedly had a brick in his hand and was threatening the pastor," said Asst. Detroit Police Chief Steve Dolunt. "We've had a previous incident, at least one, and the pastor filed a police report."

Before leftists start that the guy was "unarmed" and only had a brick, I want you to go hit yourself in the head with a brick. If you survive, I'll admit that you have the point. If you don't, well, that's one for me.

And if the assailant did have a gun, and killed the pastor, you'd be ignoring it as just another crime stat in a city that has been failed by Democrat policies.

Me? I'm going to salute a Detroit pastor who had the balls to do what was needed to defend the flock.

Thank you Pastor Ruger. You're walking proof that one can be a Christian, and not a total pansy. Seems a lesson that many men should learn. Cheers to you! Unless you're not a drinking man... then cheers to me.
