If I recall correctly, you're one of those who support reaching out to blacks the right way. I think this story is one the GOP would be wise to pay attention too. Amazingly enough, it comes from NPR.

Detroiters are even taking their guns to church. When Rosedale Park Baptist had trouble with drug dealers and car thefts, Pastor Haman Cross Jr. told his congregants from the pulpit that they should consider getting concealed-carry permits.

"I love the Lord; I'm a Christian," he says. "But like I told the congregation, let's send a message right in front. I want the word out in the community, if you steal any of our cars, I'm coming after you."

At another black church, Greater St. Matthew Baptist, Pastor David Bullock points out the pews that where his armed congregants usually sit.

"The chairman of my deacon board, he carries," Bullock says. "And then on the west side, there's a middle-aged woman who also carries."

Alan Keyes was willing to explain the Constitution to anybody who would listen — but, unfortunately, the RINOs kicked him to the curb.

As for carrying in church...I knew a guy who attended a small church in South Central 25+ years ago. One Sunday he got there a little late and as he sat down, the wooden butt of his .38 snubnose struck the wooden pew. It made a noticeable and distinctive thunking sound. A few heads turned, but no one said anything.
