Your silly bishop and my silly bishop in Ft. Worth have banned the carrying of firearms in churches. Did you know that? If left to them, all you'd have is your hymn book in self-defense.
Yes, my silly bishop is the same man as your silly bishop. When Texas passed the open carry law last year, a permanent type sign was put on outside church doors reading, "No open carry." That was not surprising as openly carrying a firearm is rather uncouth in a church. That sign did not say, "No concealed carry."
That bishop has been in our church in the service several times since I have been there, about three years. His appearance and manner is of a pampered person. I am sure our pastor, the x-Army sniper, pays no attention to this rule of "no carry" the bishop put out for all churches under him. He can make a rule for himself and maybe die due to it, but expecting others to risk their lives "because he said so" isn't going to happen in Texas churches. Perhaps he would be happier in New York city or Chicago.
