No Guns Allowed in Church


One of the surprises I had upon my return to Peavine were the "no guns allowed" signs and decals on the doors of banks, churches and convenience stores. I had forgotten that my state had been one of those that passed liberal right to bear arms laws a few years ago - allowing guns everywhere unless specifically posted as a no gun zone. As a result one finds "no guns allowed" signs in places one would think would simply be a no brainer. Does anyone really think it should be necessary to remind people not to bring guns into a bank? How does God feel about the "no guns" sign on the door to my church?

I got to thinking again about this today when I received an email from the Brady Campaign that discussed a trip to the massive NRA headquarters in the Washington DC area and their surprise to find that the NRA, the lobby group that pushed all these liberal gun laws on us, doesn't allow guns in its building. Ironic eh? Aren't these the same folks that have argued on TV recently that people really should be allowed to bring even automatic weapons to events featuring the president?

The argument was not for automatic weapons to be allowed. The argument was simply to allow firearms that are legally allowed by that state to be open carried. So, in other words, asking for the law to be followed. And why would you want a gun in church?
