Hey Dave_in_delaware, sorry I didn't get back to you earlier but I just now had a chance to get back online. It would have been pretty awesome to meet up with all of you, but I'm still in the desert, and I'm not sure when I'll be back to the east coast...but I defiantly am looking forward to the future OC "meetings".

And why would anyone look at you funny just because you have a white collar AND a gun on? How else is a shepherd supposed to protect his flock in this day and age of heightened violence? I've always found it strange that many churches frown upon concealed carry by the congregation, as if evil avoids churches all the time.
Totally missed that post somehow, LoL...
Yes, I'm a very laid back reverend...I served for a very liberal, and very progressive church that didn't turn anyone away from its doors. Didn't matter who you were, how you dressed, or what you've done in your past. The true view of Christianty...(look at me, I'm preaching, LoL)...Well anyways, I guess most people find it ironic that a "man of God" would believe in the use of man made weapon, yet alone be openly carrying one...I do believe God will protect me, he is my shepherd, and I am his sheep...he will lead me and my flock...But, if a wolf sees that one of the sheep happens to be carrying a fully loaded px4 9mm, that wolf will think again (hence why I prefer to open carry)...
Anyways, who's in control of the little smilies on the left hand side of this post?, I see 2 horney devils, but no halo's...LoL
