Guns in church. How do the gun nuts feel about packing in church?

You never know.

I know I heard something about this a couple of years back. Must use my google-fu...

I know of no CCW legislation that exempts houses of worship.

pass the Lord and praise the ammunition....Church is not the place for guns, and I am the first to support gun rights.

Don't you know...it's the only way to feel big and strong and powerful?

in case the Muslims showed up at the church door.

I'm sure Jesus would approve.

After service one day she walked up to the window of a car and shot her girlfriend and the girl with many times.

One should be allowed to legally carry a concealed firearm in church.

like in cowboy movies...someone says something you don't like you shoot 'em, anytime anyplace... the gun nuts like this, however, they forget about the people they don't agree with will also have their guns strapped on to them in as well and the idiot arrogant ignorant gun nuts will be the first to be blown away. Hmmmm....not a bad idea!

and would probably have the most fatalities.

of the race cars. Thank you for your cooperation."

City council meetings too.

Since we all need protection from dick.

and don't have to deal with "gun nuts" in any way, shape or form.

Effective self-defense becomes unduly difficult if there's a scattered patchwork of "no-carry" areas. It's easy to become a criminal if you lose track of which places allow carry and which don't, and you also have to make sure not to park your car in a place you're not allowed to leave a gun in it. Banning weapons in churches also makes them vulnerable to mass shooters. Of course, it's not a big issue with me personally because I never go near a church outside of rare occasions when my job necessitates entering one.

It'll become just like the Wild West Days. There will be gun fights out in the streets.
There will be duels, bets will be hedged, scores will be settled outside the Bars.
Just imagine outside the Casinos. Whooooeeee.

Remind me to bring my Kevlar Vest.:smoke:

Then again, I was in the field, and we all were carrying firearms.

although I prefer the politically correct term "gun enthusiast".

I don't go to a church, but If I did I would carry. I wouldn't feel any safer in a church than in any other building. A quick Google search will show that God doesn't bar murderers at the church door. I have no desire to be forced to line up against a wall and be shot by some nut.

Right after CCW passed in Indiana lots of people started carrying handguns everywhere. Of course, they carried them openly on their hips, apparently missing the whole point that they had ALWAYS been legal to carry openly. But I digress.

Anywhose, after the first few months people started realizing that while they now had the legal right to carry a weapon (concealed), there really wasn't any need. Most people stopped carrying a firearm altogether. Even most of those who still carried a weapon when they traveled out of their comfort zone would leave it in the vehicle under certain circumstances, like going to church.

But my cousin married this one geek who would wear his at the dinner table during family reunions. The non-paranoid faction, i.e. my entire family, poked fun at him mercilessly. Which may explain the short duration of that marriage.

just my 4" pocket knife, so I guess I'm not quite as much of a dork as your cousin's ex. I don't even get razzed by my family for my carry habits because every adult in my family has a carry permit and carries. The neighborhoods we've lived in were probably a bit more dangerous than Indiana so it's not so much that we are paranoid, just careful.

Just a little bit of advice for your friends...leaving a handgun in the car while they are shopping or going to church might not be a good idea. If someone decides to break into or steal your car, they have just provided a criminal with a nice weapon to sell or use.

without "packing heat". And he goes to church every Sunday...

Gotta protect himself from those insane church ladies, I guess.

:rofl:

Idiot.

You wouldn't catch me there.

If you have a permit, you should be required to display your weapon in plain sight. So we know who to avoid.

In fact, you should be required to carry it at all times.

I am, of course, being facetious, but I don't think it's a bad idea.

wait, that's only the law Bush signed in as Gov.

Guns are just snakes that go bang, I guess
