Upon learning that this Saturday’s “Open Carry Church Service” at New Bethel Church might fail to live up to its promise, my heart sank a little. According to a TIME article by former LEO Guru Cary Stemle, the church had yet to secure an insurance policy on the event, and would therefore be just a “Church Service.”
“I’ve been comparing quotes with a couple of insurance agencies,” Pagano told me, “And as of right now it looks like we’re on.”
Good news, I suppose, but here are a few caveats: In order for gun owners to fully participate in the service, “[They] must be over 21, the firearm must be a handgun — unloaded, of course — and secured in a holster,” Pagano said.
So leave that gas-powered AK-47 at home, you patriot you.
