Kentucky church holds "Bring a gun to church" night

Gun rights advocates see the government as their enemy, but I think that sometimes their worst foes are staring at them from the mirror. The latest candidate for "Shoot the movement in the foot" is Pastor Ken Pagano of the New Bethel Church in Louisville, KY, who has invited his congregation to gather on Saturday night, June 27, and celebrate their right to bear arms by bringing their guns to church.

Pagano, a gun instructor, has invited his congregation and the public at large to attend what he calls an "open carry celebration", although concealed carry will also be celebrated. The New York Times quotes Pagano as saying "God and guns were part of the foundation of this country." So were slavery and smallpox, by the way.
