Bring Your Gun to Church Day

While it's a nice sentiment, as an Open Carrier and staunch supporter of the 2A, I know with what this pastor is trying to do and to be honest it's both foolish and dangerous. The only times a gun should be unloaded is while in storage, for training and demonstration purposes, for cleaning and servicing or the moment before you reload. If God given innocent life is sacred at all times, shouldn't the tools to defend against evil that would take that life also be ready for use at all times? (See CCC 2263-65)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A gun-toting Kentucky pastor says it's OK to bring weapons to church — at least for one day.

Ken Pagano asked his flock to bring their unloaded handguns — in holsters — to New Bethel Church in Louisville for a celebration of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Consitution [SIC] that guarantees the right to bear arms...

I'll probably get a lot of "emotional" comments for this and I truly welcome the persecution, but the analogy is actually quite accurate: It's an interesting parallel that a church that uses a vandalized and scandalized Holy Bible with books removed, a cross with Christ removed, leadership with the authority removed and an incomplete "Christian" Church with the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ removed, somehow thinks that a gun with ammunition removed is normal.

That is to say that an empty gun cannot defend your physical life anymore than an empty or incomplete Christianity can defend your eternal life.

God's Blessings,
