Sally Kern, the Oklahoma State Representative who thinks that homosexuals are worse than terrorists, is also a pistol packing preacher's wife. Yesterday this wife of a Southern Baptist minister was caught trying to enter the state capitol with a pistol in her purse.
Kern has a permit to carry a gun, but weapons are not permitted in the state capitol.
No one checked to see if her Bible has been revised to have Jesus say, "Take up your pistol and follow me."

"But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."
I doubt verses like that have been revised away either.
Jeff,
Do you think a modern-day state capital, a veritable fortress, is what Jesus had in mind?
My point is that the implication that carry is somehow unbiblical is completely unfounded. There is a time for every purpose under heaven. I'll admit that visiting your state capital is probably not the time for carrying a gun.
I also know that most people who carry on a regular basis often put on their gun in the morning just like put on their pants. When my wife and I went to the courthouse to get our marriage license, I had to check a folding knife at the courthouse door for the same reason. I don't carry the knife for defense (it's too small for that) but I'd completely forgotten I was wearing it because I always wear it.
