Bodyguards for the preacher

I recently went to a mega church where the preacher had a personal body guard. I know of at least one other church in our area where certain members of the staff carry pistols.

And when we visited IHOP in KC, they had a "church" police department, complete with uniforms and marked cars (at least one).

When did this stuff start up, and why?
With blessings comes persecution. Mark 10:29-31 NIV
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10 NIV
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18 ESV
