  JW Stand On Concealed Carry

  by Cold Steel in

  if a jw wanted to get a concealed carry permit, would the society have any moral or ethical problems with it?

  in other words, if one of your elders noticed you were carrying concealed, would they be apt to just ignore it or would they counsel you on it?

  Straight from the JW Correspondence Guidelines:

  "If a member of the congregation insists on carrying or possessing firearms for protection against humans—equipping himself to become “a smiter”—the elders should counsel him and help him to remedy the situation. Lack of compliance by an individual can result in his not being qualified to have special privileges.—1 Tim. 3:2, 3; Mic. 4:3; Gal. 6:11"

  So, not "banned," but just "frowned upon." Likely enough to get a local needs talk? Depends on your local body of elders
