Re: Security guard who stopped shooter credits God

I found an answer to my own question in a later Denver Post article.

I sent this to my dissenters in the other group.

Assam grew more intensely religious within the last year, said Bevere, who hired her at Messenger International in Colorado Springs.

"She heard me speak earlier this year," said Bevere, who runs a worldwide ministry with his wife, Linda. "She said she was very, very touched. She said, 'God, I'd love to work for that ministry,' and she applied."

Assam works in the ministry's call center, which sells an array of CDs, books and videos. Bevere said what has constantly stood out to him is how gentle she is.

"The word I would use to describe her is 'meek,' " said Bevere, who added that the Christian connotation of that word is "power under control. She's humble and very under control."

How she reacted to the shooting was the best example of that, Bevere said. She used her training to try to get the gunman to stop, then used force when nothing else worked.

Assam's security role at New Life was as part of a volunteer team that keeps watch over the large complex.

Re: Security guard who stopped shooter credits God

I chose a new sig line to use in forums and emails. It draws some attention.

On another list, it is being argued that what Jeanne Assam did is not relevent to concealed carry, claiming that she is a commissioned security officer.

That doesn't hold water, even if true.

I have tried googling and was unable to find any mention of her profession or whether she holds a security commission.

With her background and her displayed skills, security would seem a natural so this may be true.

Reports calling her a volunteer security officer and licensed to carry a concealed handgun are plentiful.

Has anyone read anything from any 'reliable' sources that addresses her vocation or whether she also holds a security commission?
