ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS (PART 2)

Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey calls on all Christians to carry handguns

BarkGrowlBite | October 6, 2015

When I posted ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ on BarkGrowlBite, txlt44 responded by saying that Texans are already well armed and he ventured that 90 percent of Texas concealed carry license holders are Christians.

txlt44 made the following points:

Most of these folks already have the pistols. They just leave them at home. The gun market may rise a little, but Tennessee, like Texas, is already well armed.

I'd venture to say 90% of the concealed carry folks in Texas are Christians. In fact, in Texas you can keep a firearm in your vehicle and not even hold a concealed carry permit if you are not a convicted felon.

I'll wager that the majority of Christian homes contain multiple firearms. Let's not dismiss that bunch of Texas good old boys and girls who are hunters and who probably own several rifles, shotguns and pistols.


I did not believe that a majority of Texas Christians were armed. But then I looked at some stats. Texas has a population of about 27 million. There are almost 23 million guns owned in Texas. That proves txlt44 to be right and me wrong. However, while txlt44 believes that 90 percent of concealed carry license holders in Texas are Christians, I think the number is more like 99 percent.

Florida, with a population of 20 million, had nearly 1.4 million concealed carry permit holders as of March 2015, while Texas had 825,957 as of December 2014. I could not find the number of guns owned by Floridians, but since the number of concealed carry license holders does not account for the total number of guns owned in Florida, one would have to conclude that like Texans, most Floridians are armed. And the vast majority of those Florida gun owners are Christians.

Txlt44 was wrong though when he said Texas was well armed. Texas is not well armed – like Florida, Texas is armed to the teeth.

Don’t mess with Texas Christians or its soldiers will shoot you dead.
