Gordon Hower was attending a Sunday church service with his wife when he saw a fellow congregant - displaying a handgun on his belt holster - reach for his weapon while speaking with another worshipper.
He turned to his wife and told her, "Get everybody out of here," he testified Thursday.
Hower said Mark Storms was showing his gun to Robert Braxton III, who appeared agitated at the service last month at the Keystone Fellowship Church in Montgomery Township, Montgomery County. Storms asked Braxton to step outside.
Braxton refused, Hower said. Upon seeing the gun, Braxton punched Storms.
