For one's own personal protection how can one conceal and carry a bow and arrow?
Wear a bow tie?

.........

Everyone has different lifestyles. Some work at home or have a farm to tend. For going to a store, a different weapon could be chosen that's concealable. There's plenty of debate on the merits of every chosen weapon.
Police often have chemical weapons, blunt trauma weapons, blades, and weapons of electrocution.
Archery would not be my choice, but in some states, there are no laws restricting the choice of self defense tool. So, the biggest threat to one's safety should not interfere.
It would be interesting if it were commonplace to see archers everywhere. I would have absolutely no problem with open carry as common as it was in the 1800s regardless of weapon choice.

I never conceal it and see no reason for anyone to do so. My whole point was: I can not see any reason why I would ever aim it at another person and it can not accidentally harm another person either.

I feel the same way as you do. But that did not stop me from being held up at gunpoint.
It changes your perspective when that happens.

That is interesting. I was also mugged, but the thief had a knife.
Do you want to share any details?
What did you learn from the event?

Nothing to share other than what has already been shared here about the right to protect yourself.

We have spare tires in our cars not because we know we will get a flat tire.

That's a good thing to do so you can buy a shotgun. Lol.
Let's pray for each other Canadian.
I need a job too. I went months neglecting a lot of things while my Mom was given a health crisis.
God is helping . Without Him, I'd have nothing at all.

I liked that cover of that song.
I'm guessing they were 3L . If they want a back up career, the back up vocalists and those guys could open for Al Yankovich.
Did you go to law school?

Should Christians be allowed to own firearms or something to that effect is the topic.
I'm getting some glitches trying to post a hyperlink, so will just leave this alone here to the video.

You all tell me.

The homeowner should have posted signs around his house.... "Please do not do any harm. Thank you."

That's all a Christian needs unless he knows before hand that some mentally ill person will attack his home.

Only the Christian who knows a maniac will try to harm him should get a gun.

It reminds me of the time some many months ago when someone was hacking through my door with a long handled pick Axe over 5#.
He was shown mercy in spite of it.
However, I would have had to stop him myself if the police hadn't shown up and spoken kindly to him.
Regardless, he was arrested and released to later be imprisoned. Until he went to prison, they told me that he was caught breaking into 5 more houses.

I can see this getting far worse as the drug, homeless problem increases, as well as the the tens of millions of illegals. Foreign soldiers and gangs will make it more than a challenge for any average person to be safe. They and the emptied prisons from every country on the planet has been given a green light to travel to America.

I'm glad the Lord has protected us, even by providing us the right to self defense.

It's because of a sinister plan.

If they could do it.. Its to ultimately inundate the USA with illegals while forcing us through political manipulations, to permit citizens to be armed in a limited way. If it could be done? It sure beats sending in enemy troops and bringing down the USA with another major war attempt. WOKE and absurd thinking appeals to them. For it catches decent common sense people off guard because they never would think of such things to do.

Satan wants to control the world, but is now frustrated.
For wherever freedom is seen on earth? He wants it done away with if he can.

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you,
brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly
from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day
of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not
come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed
to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God
or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?
And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back
will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. " 2 Thessalonians 2:1-7


That secret power of lawlessness of the antichrist system, being already at work, is why we see the insanity
of socialism and the fake news media trying to take over the USA.



In Christ .......

What did you think of Lars Anderson?

You might appreciate THIS.
When I was a boy I used to make homemade bows...
Just a branch and some cord.
Had to buy the arrows.

I remember it was fall. Birds were flying south for the winter.
I was standing in a schoolyard and saw a flock flying above me.
Might have been geese.

I aimed, pulled, and shot an arrow up in their direction.
To my amazement I saw something I'll never forget.
There was a downdraft appearing to come from the flock was so strong that the arrow would begin wobbling and to waver as it got closer to them.

That's amazing how strong their wings are to force those heavy birds off the ground and keep them going without a break for a hundred miles.

My question is very simple. Is it okay for Christians to own a gun legally for protection purposes? I would love to hear what other people has to say in regards to that.

I personally believe that we dont need a gun, but at the same time, arent everyone entitled to protect themselves? Now, you see where the confusion is with me lol :)
It was okay with God for Israel to have and use weapons to fight against their enemies, so I see nothing wrong with having a weapon to hunt and safe guard family and country. Check out Deut 20:1-4 or II Sam 22:33-43.

The only time I remember reading about restrictions on caliber, capacity, accessories, is when others overstepped their authority and wished to keep their subjects harmless so they could easily do bad things to them.

One Bible example is when the Philistines disarmed Israel and Judah. I Samuel 13:19-25

Glad I have all I need any new ones are probably going to be muzzleloaders just because I don't want to jump through all the legal hoops they've put in place.
