Hey, I worked in "Gunnersvull'. But why is the writer so interested in
the church connection. Is there something there we are not getting, or
is he just somehow trying to paint religeon/conservatives/guns etc
into one picture? Why was the mans occupation even noted, and would
the story have been written if he was say a barber? Just wondering,
the writer seems to indicate this type of seizure is not unusual...
hummmmm...


Cultural thing I suppose. Up here, normal people wouldn't think of carrying
a firearm...let alone a church official.


No hunters or target shooters in Canada, huh? Wow, times have sure changed
since my uncle took me hunting up there.



"Carrying" implies something quite a bit different than going hunting or
target shooting.


There may be others who carry a firearm, but hunters and target shooters
also carry them. When I go to a pistol range, I carry the weapon. If I go
hunting, I carry a firearm.

Of course, I may not fit someone's definition of 'normal' !
