Gun Advocate Preacher Says Citizens Should 'Pack Heat'

Gun Advocate Preacher Says Citizens Should 'Pack Heat'

WASHINGTON, April 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- What are the chances you will ever be attacked by armed assailants in a situation in which no one else can help you, and your only chance for survival rests in using your own loaded firearm?

Charl van Wyk author of, SHOOTING BACK: THE RIGHT AND DUTY OF SELF DEFENSE

(a book and documentary DVD by WorldNetDaily.com) says that considering the recent attacks by Somali pirates, mass shootings in Binghamton, NY, North Carolina and Washington state, and the cop killings in Pittsburgh, the chances are increasing all the time.

Van Wyk will be in the U.S. from April 24 - May 12, and is available for interviews on May 1 and May 11.

Van Wyk makes a case for individuals arming themselves with guns and does so more persuasively than perhaps any other author, because he was attacked by terrorists during the St. James Massacre in South Africa -- one of the worst massacres of its time.

The St. James Massacre occurred in 1993 during a church service van Wyk was attending one Sunday evening. The church was invaded by heavily armed terrorists who threw grenades, fired automatic assault rifles, and began killing as many Christians as they could.

But the terrorists weren't counting on any of those Christians being armed. Van Wyk may have been outgunned, but he did have his .38 special revolver with him. He crouched down behind a pew and took aim. As soon as the terrorists realized someone was shooting back they fled in a getaway car.

A terrorist leader later confessed that he hoped for every man, woman and child in that church -- maybe a thousand people -- to be massacred that day!

As it was, 11 churchgoers were killed and 53 wounded.

Last year, Charl van Wyk was attacked, again, by armed assailants who attempted to hijack his vehicle.

Once again, van Wyk was prepared. When the opportunity availed itself, he fired on the attackers and drove them away.

Though van Wyk admits that there are disadvantages to having firearms in a society, he says law makers should consider the fact that these are far outweighed by the advantages.
