WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas—Alarms went off in Jack Wilson’s head the moment a man wearing a fake beard, a wig, a hat, and a long coat walked into a Texas church for Sunday services.

By the time the man approached a communion server and pulled out a shotgun, Wilson and another security volunteer were already reaching for their own guns.
