Hey, I worked in "Gunnersvull'. But why is the writer so interested in
the church connection. Is there something there we are not getting, or
is he just somehow trying to paint religeon/conservatives/guns etc
into one picture? Why was the mans occupation even noted, and would
the story have been written if he was say a barber? Just wondering,
the writer seems to indicate this type of seizure is not unusual...
hummmmm...

Cultural thing I suppose. Up here, normal people wouldn't think of carrying
a firearm...let alone a church official.

No hunters or target shooters in Canada, huh? Wow, times have sure changed
since my uncle took me hunting up there.

"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting or
target shooting.

There may be others who carry a firearm, but hunters and target shooters
also carry them. When I go to a pistol range, I carry the weapon. If I go
hunting, I carry a firearm.

Of course, I may not fit someone's definition of 'normal' !

I think I know what you are talking about, and "carrying" might mean
"packing heat" to some criminal elements, but I really don't think that
is the way Don was using the term.

The most common definition means a law abiding citizen carrying a legally
owned handgun, probably concealed, with a permit where required.

Let me make sure I understand this. In the west, it is common to see
people with a guy in a holster, in plan sight. Wouldn't they be
considered to be carrying?

Since i don't own a guy, if you are going to the range or out to the
woods for target practice, don't you carry it on the seat in plan view,
or in the trunk of the car (I really don't know the legal way to bring a
guy to the range)?

Wouldn't that be considered "carrying" if a cop stopped you?

I have always thought if I needed a weapon to protect myself while
cruising, it would be a shotgun or a flare, not some tiny little 357.

That's called "open carry." Very few states allow that, typically states
out west, though I believe Virginia allows it.

As compared to the more common "concealed permit"?
