Charl van Wyk was just an ordinary Christian man until July 25, 1993 - the day that would become known for the St. James Massacre. It was on this date that Charl van Wyk shot back at the terrorists who were attacking an innocent congregation gathered in worship and saved many lives in the process.

Near-daily news rings out about another mass-shooting incident. It’s followed—as surely as shadows trail setting suns—by politicians promising more laws to remove guns from the hands of the law-abiding. Now more than ever is the time for gunowners around the world to remain vigilant and ready to exercise—and fight for—their God-given right to self-defense. Told by the man who relied on his revolver to repel terrorists, armed with automatic rifles and hand grenades, attacking a church full of worshipers; “Reloaded” is a clarion call to those who love liberty—and Christians in particular.

An excellent book and DVD combo is “Shooting Back: The Right and Duty of Self Defense,” which tells the story of how one man saved many lives in a congregation gathered in prayer as well as answers some basic questions about church security."
