A pastor in the US state of Kentucky told his flock to bring handguns to church in what he said was an effort to promote safe gun ownership.

Pastor Ken Pagano told parishioners to bring their unloaded guns to New Bethel Church in Louisville for a service celebrating the right to bear arms.

This is perfectly normal behaviour for Americans.

You really hate the yanks don't you :)

As you would know the police would have been told about this
as you need a Weapon Permit/License (CDWL/CWP/CWL) to carry a gun
even unloaded and not a lot of people can get them.

And since most churches imploy the police on a church going day it's not a big deal.
 
Why does a church need to employ the police on a church going day? You don't see that in this country ...

In the south churches are packed with people and they are big churches
You need the police to stop the traffic so they get out safely and other things.
There is not a single seat empty on a sunday at my church.

Shooting for sport i.e. practical pistol or clay pigeon shooting, hunting (not humans) amongst possible other options.

Bit of a weird idea by the Pastor there but if he could encourage more responsible gun ownership that wouldn't be a bad thing - problem being that those most in need of lessons on acting responsibly with guns aren't likely to pay any attention.

Two points, practical pistol and clay pigeons are target based but not at anything living so not killing in any conventional sense, secondly hunting animals isn't killing in the sense that was being used above - namely that of killing people which is illegal, hunting animals is not illegal under certain circumstances.

apologies, missread that as hunting for game

but shooting an animal to the point it stops living is still killing, just because you're giving the death a purpose, doesn't make it a different type of killing ;) but i'm a carnivore so i'm all for eating animals :D
 
I'd like to see a law come into place that to have a licence to hunt animals with a gun, you first have to hunt, and kill, a fully fit, fully grown tiger with a garrotte. Solo.

Only then should you be able to hunt other, more defenceless animals, with a namby pamby gun :D
