Definitely shoot him. But I guess that wasn't one of the choices.
Hiding in THE room where the shooting takes place makes you an easy target if he sees you.
On the other hand, if everyone decides to run at the same time, you have a traffic jam and everyone is an easy target in that case too.
If you have an open shot out the door...any exit. Go for it. Its hard for most guys with a gun to hit a moving target unless they train to shoot moving targets. Anyhow, the underside of a pew might offer the best protection if there is a traffic jam. From there, they should belly crawl as far from the shooter or, if possible, to the exit farthest from him.
Either way, I believe you should go armed to church. If the pastor minds, (not that its his business), I'd find another church. One that is Bible based, of course. That's right, go to church with a weapon under your Sunday go to meetin' clothes. Jesus won't mind.
