TJJJ,
What if the bible reads they carried a sword and not a Glock? What does that prove? A sword was their only weapon of choice in that era. I'm sure the magistrate and Apostle Peter would utilize Glocks if they were in existence during their lifetime!
The fact is the magistrate utilized swords in that era:
Romans 13:4 (NIV)
For they are God's servants working for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid, for it is not without reason that they bear the sword. Indeed, they are God's servants to administer punishment to anyone who does wrong.
If Jesus didn't mind Peter and the magistrate bearing swords (weapon of their time), Jesus wouldn't mind us utilizing pistols (weapon of our generation)!
FYI: I own a 40 Glock, Model 27!

No, no! I must have came across wrong! I was laughingly using the approach that some use towards holiness in a rather feeble attempt to make a point.
Some say that because God does not specify things like cigs and pot and other sins that, obviously, because it was not there then it must be okay! I was trying to use the same logic but the other way thus the laughing face at the bottom! I am not against glocks.
Sorry for my comment being misunderstood!
I humbly apologize to all glock owners!!!! (Next time buy a Beretta)
