WELL, CHURCHES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT of civil-rights efforts after all. Pastor Organizes Gun Celebration at Church. “A pastor in Kentucky is redefining the tradition of wearing your Sunday best to services by encouraging his congregation to strap on holsters and bring their weapons to church. Pastor Ken Pagano of New Bethel Church in Louisville, Ky., says that he organized an ‘Open Carry Celebration’ to promote responsible gun ownership.”

Gun-control advocates aren’t happy, but you’ve always got your haters with any movement for social progress. . . .
