1. Dear God how many threads are we going to do about this?

Can everyone please relax about the fact that this church wants to have an open carry day? This is the seventh thread about it and people are freaking out for no reason.

[NewEngland4Obama]

2. If you have seen it just ignore reading it. pretty simple..

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

33. Technically you are supposed to look and see if a thread has already been started on the subject.

We'll let it slide since you are new.

3. It is hilarious, anit it?!? ROFLMAO!!! NT

[NewEngland4Obama]

5. I hope they don't fire their weapons in the air every time they say amen

[Recursion]

8. Did you even read the link?

It's cold range carry, meaning the guns are unloaded and secured in a holster. How exactly are they going to fire an unloaded, holstered gun?

[NewEngland4Obama]

12. they can bring ammno in their pockets and load

[Recursion]

14. They can also bring a gun in their pocket on normal days

But they don't. The mere presence of a gun doesn't make people idiots.

[NewEngland4Obama]

16. why bring guns to church?? If a church is that bad I would

change churches.

[Recursion]

17. Guns are not a sign of a bad place

This is a way to de-mystify firearms; from DU's reaction it sounds like we could all use some of that.

[NewEngland4Obama]

18. I do not want to go to a place when someone could be a nut

carrying a gun

[Recursion]

19. So you only go to airports?

Seriously, have you ever considered how many people you interact with in your daily life might be carrying?

[NewEngland4Obama]

22. if they keep the gun in their car they would have more time to COOL OFF

before doing something they would regret later

20. You probably should avoid police stations, then.

:eyes:

[NewEngland4Obama]

23. They are there to protect . If you don't know the difference I can't explain it to you.

[Recursion]

24. Cops have a higher crime rate than concealed-carry permit holders

Just pointing that out.

[NewEngland4Obama]

28. Link please

[konnichi wa]

25. There is no doubt in my mind that you are unable to explain anything about

anything.

[NewEngland4Obama]

26. not to you!!

[NewEngland4Obama]

21. sure but the less the better. More people are killed by someone they

know then a stranger in the US.

[Recursion]

10. Also, this isn't a church service; it's saturday evening.

Probably not much amen-ing beyond the prayer over the barbecue.

[Mythsaje]

4. This is the FIRST thread about it I've bothered to click on...

because, hey, I DON'T care.

[alarimer]

27. Obviously Scott Roeder believed in that.

Perhaps these nutcases need a little reminding.

[tularetom]

6. I'm totally opposed to any restrictions on the ownership of firearms

But there is something about a church full of toothless armed hillbillies that tells me this could turn out to be comedy gold.

I'm betting more than one of the churchgoers has a live round in the chamber that he has forgot about.

[Recursion]

9. Ah, "armed toothless hillbillies"

It's such a mystery why the south is hostile to our party...

[NewEngland4Obama]

13. They could call it Gums & Gun Day

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. !

[Turbineguy]

7. If they could have carried guns

to church in the Old Testament, there probably would not have been a New one.

[rrneck]

11. If it's one of those churches

where they hand you a snake betcher ass I'm takin' a gun.

[Joanne98]

15. And shoot each other while your there

[valerief]

31. Oh, man, if only...

[valerief]

30. American is insane. nt

[baldguy]

32. This didn't go over too well in Wichita last week.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

34. The pastor in the Tiller case encouraged the congregation to bring guns to church that day?

[Strong Atheist]

35. Belated Welcome to DU!

:toast:

[Initech]

36. Gives new meaning to the phrase "Praise the lord and pass the ammo!".
