<p>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 </p>
<p>[Bring</a> your gun to church: Kentucky pastor urges members to pack heat for event - Winnipeg Free Press](<a href=“http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Bring-your-gun-to-church_-Kentucky-pastor-urges-members-to-pack-heat-for-event.html]Bring ”>http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Bring-your-gun-to-church_-Kentucky-pastor-urges-members-to-pack-heat-for-event.html )</p>

Doug Hawkins, a Louisville Metro Council member who represents the south end of the city, where the Assembly of God church is located, leapt from his pew to address the other congregants.
<p>Dawnrene Bullock, 43, a former nurse, seated in a pew with her husband, Dwight, 47, a truck driver, agreed.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>Her husband noted that there could come a day “when we’ll need to protect ourselves in church.”
</p>
<p>I missed those rumors…</p>
<p>How embarrassing to be so backwards. Yee-haw.</p>

<p>What would Jesus carry?</p>
<p>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 ;)</p>
