Yup, the Catechism of the Church says we are not just free to, but are obligated to defend our lives with deadly force if necessary.

[CJB]

Gad made man, but Sam Colt made man equal.

That is impressive. I applaud him!

[TheTman]

Many of the revolutionaries were men of the cloth. They know how valuable freedom and protection of loved ones and your home is.
Well they used too. Now we have too many mamby pamby types that just want to get along.

Amen. We are looking at a two-front war. From the psycho muzzies and from the Alinsky-Coms.

Yep, too many mealy mouth, liberal, bleeding hearts have had it too good for too long in this country. Let's see who screams and cries the loudest when the SHTF.

[muggsy]

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

[Kahrmine]

There is no Biblical prohibition to self-defense, but anyone who really knows Jesus should be ready to die for their faith.

[JohnR]

I'd prefer the other poor dumb bass turds die for their faiths.

[DanTana]

Now that is how a Shepard tends to his flock, by teaching them to defend themselves. I'd go to that church.

[Armybrat]

That priest knows that prayer isn't the only defense available to fight evil.

There is no Biblical prohibition to self-defense, but anyone who really knows Jesus should be ready to die for their faith.

Dying for your faith and dying because some thug wants to steal your stuff aren't the same!

[deadeye]

Dieing for your faith isn't the question. Don't believe there is much argument there. Submitting to robbery, possible rape and murder is another thing.

Our church allows CC during services.
