is an article about "show of support for the Second Amendment and First Amendment" via an "open-carry service".
"New Bethel [...] church in Louisville, Kentucky [...] invited people to bring their unloaded guns to this first-ever event" yesterday.
Why unloaded? Doesn't that defeat the whole idea? Or are they worried about the stained glass windows? d8-)

They probably want the guns to be handed around, so the ladies (and uninitiated gents) can see what they're all about. Unloaded = more safe for Show 'n Tell.
I'm hoping the fully loaded mags and revolver speedloaders are in the gents' pockets, in case someone with a loaded weapon shows up to take all the unloaded pieces.

Ha! Wouldn't that be a paradox?

No, it wouldn't. After some of the recent incidents where some loser shoots up a church service, it would just be good preparation.
Have you never heard of a 'reprobate spirit'? Nowhere in the bible does it say to not defend yourself, within reason.
Yes, it would. Unless you're a member of the First Church of the Holy Nutjobs and Discount House of Worship.

Whatever church you want to belong to is fine with me.
Not that one, immatellau.

Maybe they'll make it a tradition, too. The flesh of Christ, the blood of Christ, and the blood of the Perp.
Kinda like war paint, wot?

You haven't noticed the several recent incidents of nut jobs showing up shooting at churches? We had one here in the Milwaukee area a coupla years ago.
OTOH, I've never seen the difference between the First Church of the Holy Nutjobs and Discount House of Worship and the other faiths, other than longevity.
If we wait long enough, Scientology could become respectable, it happened to LDS.

"Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" is the way I heard it.
I happen to be an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church (seriously). We're pacifists, and we use pepper spray -- sometimes, on each other. It's a rowdy bunch.

They were shooting Shinto heathen. That's like Muslims shooting Christians. It's theologically OK.
-- Ed Huntress
The Church of Saint John Moses Browning of the Holy 1911 is always looking for members.
Services Sundays and Wednesday nights at Jesus, Maria & Jose's Discount Worship Center, Reloading Supply Shop and Shooting Range.
Shooter's Bible Study every Tuesday evening with Col. Cooper.
Note: The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is not one of our holy relics.
No repeat offenders, though.
How do you load a snake?
I LIKE IT!!!

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
