Hundreds in Louisville tote guns to church. Church raffles off firearms.
Pastor's celebration of the Second Amendment draws crowd of 200. (http://www.theledger.com/article/20090627/NEWS/906275052/1410?Title=Hundreds-Tote-Guns-to-Church)

Liz Boyer sells a raffle ticket for a new firearm to Tom Schultz before a service in the New Bethel Church where people were invited to bring their own firearms to the sanctuary in Louisville, Ky.
Ken Pagano asked his flock to bring their unloaded handguns - in holsters - to New Bethel Church in Louisville for a celebration of the Second Amendment. When the event got under way a little after 5 p.m. Saturday, about 200 people - many carrying small firearms - sat in the Pentecostal church sanctuary.
"We are wanting to send a message that there are legal, civil, intelligent and law-abiding citizens who also own guns," Pagano said in greeting the audience, which included people who do not belong to his church.
"If it were not for a deep-seated belief in the right to bear arms, this country would not be here today," he said, drawing hearty applause and exclamations of "amen!"
Pagano says he got the idea for the event after some of his church members expressed concern about the Obama administration's views on gun control, though the president hasn't moved to put new restrictions on gun ownership. He says the gathering was meant to promote safe gun ownership. The "Open Carry Celebration" included a handgun raffle, patriotic music and screening of videos on gun safety.

2. Did they shoot each other? From what I have learned on here, they should all be dead
or robbing each other, accidentally blowing the heads of their kids etc.
Any gun will cause this, because guns are really aliens with a mind of their own...

I'm told that there once was a law here that every man was required to carry a gun to church.......wonder if it's still on the books?
