This guy is full of it. He promoting his church and using gun rights to do it. Church funding must be down in this economy and he figured out a gimmick to bring in the parishioners. Pass the collection baskets around a few times during the "celebration".

Better tote em while we got em

Good for you Father!

Sounds like fun!

Hey, I'd rather guns be in the hands of a crazy bible-beater than some chump in the ghetto living off of my money.

Oh my goodness I went to school with these nuns@ SNS the one at the end is Sister Salesia where did you get these pictures this is hysterical oh and by the way I agree!

Yeah! Great idea! Guns and religion, support your local American Taliban.

I would love to have that job... Religious enforcer

You're too late. Somebody by the name of Bin Laden seems to have already taken it.

maybe someday

Somewhat odd.

If they really beleived what they preach ..Then they wouldnt be so afraid of the outside world ...they would just use the faith they claim to have ..Yes Im a christian ...No if i go to church I wouldnt carry a gun ..for me what better place to meet the maker than in church ...if someone came in shooting ....I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go around ..Even idiots have there place,

I would say if everyone in the congregation and the pastor are ok with it, who are we too judge? There is way too much judging going on today.

Another example of mixing religion with unrelated things. Another right wing loonie with followers

Imagine Jesus and his apostles armed to the teeth and doing battles against the Romans and Israelites, or killing Pilate and the Priests with the latest in sword technology.

some of the members of our church carry even at church, they are all law enforcement officers, they were asked to wear there private carry when off duty, as they normally do everywhere else.

Well even for an Alaskan like me this seems a little quirky, but hey, as long as the congregation has talked about this and agreed to this; who are we to say what they can or cannot do? I personally would have thought the event would have been more appropriately done separate from the day of worship. (I also think that guns in church have been fairly common in the past in parts of the country.) It has only been in the last 40 years that people have started to get squeamish about guns and attributing mystical powers to them. (Guns kill people---I can picture in my mind a bunch of lawless guns chasing people down dark alleys, running on two little feet stuck out of the stock, black hats perched precariously on the hammer---bad guns, bad!) As for me, I think we don't have enough gun training and instruction going on, and this guy seems to take that point to heart. Good for him.

Guns and SUVs kill people, never mind the people operating them! If they didn't have a gun and they wanted to kill you, they'd just use something else as a weapon. Funny visual, Grandma! love the post

My Kind of Church! I hope they have reloading classes.

I carry a gun all of the time (concealed as not to frighten the liberals). And if you look at the middle east most of the terrorist attacks are happening in holy places. It makes sense that the next round of attacks here will attack the nations faith. Peace though supperior fire power. <A
