Yes, I carry a Gun!
 
So the State of Nevada issued me a permit to carry a concealed loaded pistol while on business or pleasure in their beautiful state. When ever leaving my hotel I have one of four pistols I brought with me on my right hip. Anyone else here carry a pistol?

Also, I don't want to read any nonsense. If Peter carried a sword and Jesus didn't complain......well......


I will tell you folks this. I was at camp meeting two years ago and I took one of my pistols. I had it loaded and by my bedside. I awoke around 3AM and my pistol was gone! I jumped off my hotel bed and pulled off all the covers and the pistol was gone. Then I said to myself, self, someone came into my room while I was sleeping and stole my pistol. For some reason I felt to check my luggage bag that was on the other side of the room. Inside my luggage bag at the very bottom my pistol laid. I said how did this get here, then God spoke and told me, " I will protect you." Fear fell upon me and I unloaded my pistol and stored it away.


So I guess I'm being a bad boy right now by carrying a pistol.

I have a glock and a 38. I'm not a bad shot. If you come through my door at night and think you are going to rob me or worse, don't count on it.

You go girl! Which Glock do you have?
I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Well at the time I had it laying by my bedside when it disappeared into my luggage bag. But to answer your question shamefully, yes. Only when I'm in Nevada though.

Don't you think that your actions are dangerous in more than one way?


I'm not judging you at all-- former military guy who has no problem with killing in the proper context.

Just the testimony you gave and then your actions don't marry up. It caused me to pause.

I have carried a gun for 35 years on and off duty. Can I be a police officer and still be a christian? Maybe being a christian police officer may save someone elses life, just like a christian might save some sinners life who is not protected by the power of God

Judged by your own words. Don't need anyone else to say anything.

I buy and sell guns as investments, I carry them all the time, from my closet to the car, from the car to the new buy or from the seller,....

Always someone wanting to buy or sell.....

Got a Cobra 38 Special double barreled derringer for sale right now,....

I have a permit to carry concealed in Maine, but don't carry often. I own a Springfield XDm-40, and it's not convenient for concealed carry. My aim is getting better, but I need more practice.

I haven't settled the issue in my own mind about carrying in Church. I've heard both sides of the argument but haven't come to my own conclusion. I am convinced that I will defend my family with force, if necessary. I am priest, provider, and protector of my home and those most dear to me.
