May 2014

is poised to take a vote on this matter very soon. All indications are we will prohibit guns on church property and discourage members from bringing their guns onto church property or in their vehicles except in extreme circumstances.

My church which belongs to the "liberal" Lutheran tradition in America Swede Atlanta May 2014 #1

I will never fly into Atlanta again. upaloopa May 2014 #3

Thanks for the idea The Blue Flower May 2014 #5

endanger your family by flying through Atlanta? ProdigalJunkMail May 2014 #9

I don't support expanded gun rights and I don't upaloopa May 2014 #31

personal boycotts are fine... ProdigalJunkMail May 2014 #32

excellent idea. nt okaawhatever May 2014 #11

Well, forget Texas, Oregon, and Washington airports. (You can carry in the non-secure areas of all.) X_Digger May 2014 #22

Well maybe some day common sense upaloopa May 2014 #30

So until then, are you boycotting those 40+ states? lol. n/t X_Digger May 2014 #33

Well I am going to the Big Island of Hawaii upaloopa May 2014 #34

Well, Hawaii allows concealed carry in the non-secure part of the airport. X_Digger May 2014 #35

Well maybe we will fix that in the future. upaloopa May 2014 #36

So the personal boycott only extends to states you weren't likely to travel to anyway? X_Digger May 2014 #39

I wish you luck....... Swede Atlanta May 2014 #27

I don't care to learn more gunner lore upaloopa May 2014 #29

Cover your ears and close your eyes.LALALALALALALALALALALALALAALAA!!! oneshooter May 2014 #37

Glad to see this. Too many racists/bigots among Baptists to expect Hoyt May 2014 #2

Is this acceptable? Open_n_Shut May 2014 #13

How much experience do you have with southern, white Baptist congregations? Hoyt May 2014 #14

Quite a bit. DeadLetterOffice May 2014 #16

I'm definitely bigoted toward white Southern Baptists who support hatred against minorities. Hoyt May 2014 #18

Fair enough, at least you own your prejudice. n/t DeadLetterOffice May 2014 #20

Prejudice from experience and disappointment. Klan members were quite welcome in Baptist churches Hoyt May 2014 #24

Not to mention their prohibition Le Taz Hot May 2014 #38

Having lived and worked in South and North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida.... Open_n_Shut May 2014 #26

The curve is shifted far to the right. Hoyt May 2014 #28

The point of the law was to allow churches to decide themselves. aikoaiko May 2014 #4

No, the laws were enacted by the bigoted right/white wing legislature with help of gun fanciers. Hoyt May 2014 #12

I support the new law because I believe it should be up to the church to decide. aikoaiko May 2014 #15

So was this guy. Hoyt May 2014 #17

I'm with Jason Carter on this one. aikoaiko May 2014 #21

I'm not. It shows he's willing to pander to gun fanciers to win. I'll still vote for him, but Hoyt May 2014 #23

Why shouldn't each church be able to decide for themselves? pipoman May 2014 #6

Am I arguing otherwise? Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin May 2014 #7

Who's arguing? pipoman May 2014 #8

the church IS able to decide... ProdigalJunkMail May 2014 #10

Only with the new, not yet enacted law allows them to choose.. pipoman May 2014 #19

It sounded as though they did not have that choice before... Open_n_Shut May 2014 #25

Applying SCOTUS LOGIC If one does not like it TS move from GA PubsFU May 2014 #40
