Christian Coalition Supports Guns-in-Churches Bill »
Posted By Neophile 1 year, 8 months ago in NewsThe Georgia Christian Coalition has taken 2 intriguing positions on legislation making its way through the state Capitol. It supports a gun bill that allows you to carry concealed in churches. At the same time, it has declared neutrality on a measure to permit the Sunday sales of beer and such at a new stadium in Gwinnett County.

Here's a hilarious satirical news report about the topic of guns in churches done way back in the 90s:

Sunday turns to gun-day in the video..
Now regarding the storry..
It seems to make perfect sense.
The only issue being to schedule Church Services so that they don't clash with events at the stadium.
This should be ensured by referencing the equal rights act.
Equal rights to go to Church, pack heat or both.
Anything else is highy discriminatory!!
And by the time that the 7th Day Adventists and the Muslims get their two cents in all this darn Nazi discrimination will be well and truly buried, along with the weekly massacre victims!

Tessy, the article was poorly written which comes as no surprise since it is from the Atlanta Journal Communism. Or the Al Jazeera Constitution, you take your pick.
What this bill is about is letting those of us with CC permits to
1:Open Carry
2:Carry at "Public gatherings"
3:Carry at state parks.
4:Carry in restaurants that also sell alchohol.
As of right now these places are off limits. And they should not be. Here in metro Atlanta we have had many problems with women being attacked in parks. You cannot patrol every single square foot of the parks. And allowing us to carry would deter criminals from attacking in these places. Citizens must be allowed to defend themselves.
Just because a church falls into the "public gathering" section, does not mean that there are people down here saying that we need to carry in church.
Don't let this article fool you.

I normally agree with you, Tessylo, but I lived in a state for much of my life, where people had guns everywhere, and there wasn't any out-of-control gun violence. In fact, I felt safer when there was a gun available when back-packing in national parks or alone in my apartment.
Today I live in a state that borders on a police state, and we have few rights left. It's actually un-American that I cannot legally protect myself from car-jacking, public abduction, etc.
People who have suffered trauma related to some gun crime, like S*rah Br*dy, C*rolyn McC*rthy, etc. seek to virally spread their own hysteria, but it's unfounded. In fact, I think a lot of crime is the result of their endless public hysterics.
I think people should fight like heck to keep their right to keep and bear arms--including in church.

Since Jesus ordered his followers to buy swords, I am at a loss as to figure out how you came up with that idea.
Luke 22:36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

we just had a massacre here in palm beach county Wendy's. if there had been a gun on the premises, innocent lives may not have been taken.
of course, owning a legal weapon is more than just a license. gun owners are encouraged to keep up target skills, gun laws, etc.
If I had the balls, I'd own a gun---for sure.
"responsible" gun ownership is a good thing.

sorry I carry and advocate carrying... but no one would have been saved....
1 innocent who was the shot first and the only fatality other than the gunman who killed himself...
i believe they found 18 casings on the floor .. and listening to the news accounts I'd bet the WHOLE THING lasted less than 30 seconds.. .. not enough time, unless you always are on high alert which isn't possible...
i quite frankly believe that many more people may have been IN THIS INCIDENT-- each one is different--- shot.. by good meaning AC's...

Eco... I have to disagree. I own three weapons. Non of them are sporting weapons. (Unless you consider human beings a sport). The last thing I'd want is a bad guy to think is that there is a gun on the premises. What a tempting theft that would be.
My exwife says she's getting a gun, just for me. How sweet. Her fifteen year old daughter talked about gutting someone like a fish. Those folks are crackers! (hee hee hee! I'm using the quaint British expression for crazy, but if you take it another way, that's cool). Alcohol, opiates or meth all make great compliments to responsible gun ownership. I've seen some sh!t that would all your little hairs stand up...
...and they're all qualified to own a gun.
Most family members are killed with 'family' weapons. Imagine a restaurant full of responsible, experienced shooters, like Dick Cheney, responding to an armed robbery.
LOL!!!

By the way, Eco, these guns aren't registered. They have wonderful 'loophole' status. Two of them are rifles that are extremely acurate at long range, 57.7cal and 58cal. The pistol is a 44cal Navy Colt with no accuracy at more than 50 feet. Low muzzle velocity (1,200 feet/1 second). Well now, don't we feel safe? I don't. I don't keep them for safety. I keep them for there historical significance.Just don't make me mad...LOL!

Nice start to a "real" collection Add a peace maker and a 78 winchester and you would have a big part of history. It's a shame so many have been lost over the years, one of my prizes is a German p38 brought home as a trophy by a family member.

My collection isn't really about the fire arms. It's about the period. It also includes Complete acutrements as well as bayonets, and, you guessed it...cavalry sabre. Believe it or not, in most states in the U S, it's legal to sport these weapons walking down the street. Local civil ordinances vary, but even if it's perfectly legal to strut your sh!t, it would be foolish. Most cops don't know the law.
Now, go away and quit ******ing me off!
LOL!

I don't see what George Bush has done wrong, he's destroying a bunch of people who shouldn't be in the 1st place. I say the Iraqis are just here to take up space on this planet. They're not doing anything to benifit us. George Bush is doing a great job where he is. I hope he sends a nuke to Iraq and just wipe that country out of the map. The only thing the Iraqis know how to do is terrorize countries, they're all terrorists.Ok, I'm going to say it, I think George Bush is good. He's one of the greatest president ever.. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! he attack Iraq and many Iraqis died.. so what? I hope he bombs Iraq again, I seriously don't give a crap if the Iraqis die, I hope bush kills them all, bomb the hell out of Iraq. serioulsy

ecotourusa You are FULL of ******. Since tighter gun laws were brought into Australia, our violent crime rates have gone down slightly. The reason we had increased gun control was because a total loonee went berko and killed about 32 tourists with guns using law he had manipulated. Criminals can still obtain weapons, it just takes more money every year. Guns in churches ?? it would be against every scripture I've ever read. It's a pity that oh why bother, the rest of the world knows that America is a sick place
