Lebanese Christians are taking up arms to protect themselves from a potential threat by the Islamic State.
Lebanese believers have watched nervously as Christians in Syria and Iraq were forced to flee their homes and villages as ISIS takes more territory.
Now, the jihadist army poses a threat to Lebanon.
"We all know that if they come, they will slit our throats for no reason," one resident said, an assault rifle by his side as he drove.
Last month, ISIS forces overran a border town, killing and kidnapping Lebanese soldiers and policemen. They have already publicly beheaded two captured soldiers.
Lebanese Christians believe they'll have to defend themselves sooner or later. It is the first time they've done so since the end of the Lebanese civil war in 1990.
