A few years ago, after reading the book SHOOT BACK about the terrorist attack on the Church in South Africa I began to carry in church every sunday. A Sig P245 (45ACP),IWB with a spare magazine. I went ten years before I found out that a member of my IDPA club is an elder in my church (BIG Church) and he carries his 45 in the same manner. With the full knowledge and approval of the pastor.

I'm Jewish. I carry my .45 and a spare 10-round mags every time I'm there for services (almost every week, plus additional holidays). So do a lot of my fellow congregants, one of whom is ex-Israeli Special Forces. So does the Brooklyn-born rabbi, with whom I've gone shooting several times.

We're not going to go away for free this time, just in case some Moon-worshipper thinks it'll be easy.

In 1966 after a hunting trip upstate, a friend dropped me off in the Bronx and I rode the subway home to Brooklyn with an uncased 30-30 Winchester carbine at 10:00 p.m., with no problems at all.

The left has taken away so many of our traditional 'rights.'

I am glad that we are pushing back.

We should not let the left succeed so easily.

I live in Miami, FL. One of the largest Jewish populations in the country, right? How come most of them don't feel this way? It's bad enough that a large number of the sheep members in my church would be shocked and outraged at the thought of a loaded gun in church...but as you said, this is the second go 'round for the Jews. Why then do many MANY (Jews) advocate strict gun control or gun confiscations? That's what happened in Germany 1936. I try and tell them: If you're Jewish and you advocate gun control or you vote liberal democrat, you not only condone the FIRST Holocaust, you INVITE the second!

Kimber?

Yes indeed. Pictured is the Custom Target II - mine's an older one without the extra safety linkage. Probably 30,000 rounds through it by now. Plain black in a plain black Hellweg Tactical Speed rig, nothing fancy except for a McCormick extractor and some upgraded mags. I hope everybody is lucky enough to find a firearm that fits them like this one fits me.

"In our day, only about 45 percent of households own a gun.."


In OUR day, only 45 percent of households ADMIT they own a gun. I have a bunch, want to get bunch more. They are as American as apple pie.

The anti-gun crap came from Europe - along with other politically correct garbage like equating "sexual preference" to ethnicty and race, cameras at intersections, etc.

I used to be a member of jpfo, although I'm not Jewish. But they can't claim to represent a majority of Jews in this country. Demographics and party affiliations clearly show that. Now, the ISRAELI'S are a different matter! They clearly understand the nexus between firearms and freedom.

Here's one I want:

Barrett .416

I think this thing has a longer range than my cell phone.
