Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Every week since I turned 21, whether I was deployed with an M16 or at home with a pistol. The only exceptions have been when I was a law dawg and worked weekends, but every time I've been to church I've had a gun. In fact, all our security team is discreetly armed; no one knows but us (the security team) and the pastor / elders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Our church discussed it and no one has an issue. I only know of two people that carry there. I personally don't carry a gun anywhere but to the woods huntin'. On a gun/church related note, I killed a buck Sunday week ago, had it gutted, skinned, quartered and in the cooler, and still manage to get a shower in and was only late by 10 minutes. They were still singin' hymns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brimstone Bill Willson Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[a]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” 38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied. Luke 22:36-38 I read that as Jesus is all for arming a percentage of his congregation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 On the one hand, I read it as Jesus telling me I have too many guns. Then I remember that he said swords, and I only got 2 of those. So I'm golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wanting to try some of that historical European martial arts stuff anyways. Legal to carry that in Texas now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start learning how to actually use them, you won't be stopping at just one sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grampaw Willie, SASS No.26996 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 i think it is well to read Jeanne Assam "God, The Gunman and Me". designated, trained security guard(s) might be "the way to go". the Old Sage teaches: Too many cooks spoil the broth". this warrants some thought, it least "IMHO"; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I know! I know for a fact that I want 5 at least. Got an idea for a neat display. Being able to use it would be a perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
