Ever heard of a priest telling his followers to have the guns? It can happen only in US.

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. He said that with Obama coming, there are fears that the gun ownership could get controlled.

“We are wanting to send a message that there are legal, civil, intelligent and law-abiding citizens who also own guns,” Mr Pagano told the congregation. “If it were not for a deep-seated belief in the right to bear arms, this country would not be here today,” he said. Pastor Ken Pagano says he wants to show that gun owners are law-abiding. The pastor also held a handgun raffle, as well as providing information on gun safety.

But I am not sure whether this is the right thing to do under the guise of promoting religion.
