heard of Take Your Child to Work Day? how about Take Your Gun to Church Day?

Interesting. I saw this in the Sunday Plain Dealer. Here's a link to the AP story as picked up by the Winnipeg Free press

Bring your gun to church: Kentucky pastor urges members to pack heat for event - Winnipeg Free Press

and a link to NY Times coverage.

As Mr. Hawkins said later in an interview, “Our country was founded on our ability to defend ourselves and may very well some time in the future depend on our ability to defend ourselves.”

Dawnrene Bullock, 43, a former nurse, seated in a pew with her husband, Dwight, 47, a truck driver, agreed.

“There’s a time coming when we may need to protect ourselves from bad things in the world,” she said. “We’ve been hearing the rumors about restricting ammunition so that it all expires, so people won’t have the right to protect themselves.”

Her husband noted that there could come a day “when we’ll need to protect ourselves in church.”
I missed those rumors...

You know, I was out of town for the weekend, but heard about this briefly, and when I returned to CC, thought there would be pages and pages already in a thread on the political forum, and nope. You guys disappoint me

But I'm glad to be back anyway.

To me this seems more quirky than political.
