35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. (Luke 22:35-36)
It's a fair question. I do own guns, I do have a permit to carry one concealed, and I have taken several training classes to learn how to use it. I have asked myself many times whether this is consistent with my commitment to follow Jesus. I'd rather be one of those blessed peacemakers, and I have Matthew 5:9 engraved on the back-plate of my SIG P365 to remind me of that.
