A Valley Station Road church is sponsoring an “Open Carry Church Service” in late June, encouraging people to wear unloaded guns in their holsters, enter a raffle to win a free handgun, hear patriotic music and listen to talks by operators of gun stores and firing ranges.
Pastor Ken Pagano of New Bethel Church said the first-time event is “basically trying to think a little bit outside the box” to promote “responsible gun ownership and 2nd Amendment rights.”

Um.
I carry a gun every church service : /
…definitely concealed though… but loaded.
Why is this church choosing a side on the gun rights debate? Besides, some would argue that Jesus was a pacifist and wouldn't approve of guns.
