I’ve met a bunch of them. Had a coworker that I lived with in Africa who was a Sikh. All of the ones I’ve met have been upstanding cool dudes.

So you met a couple people who explained to you how non violent they are when surrounded by people not like them...

What? 8 people who you met?

What’s your experience with them besides asking some AI bot to cherry pick some random violent acts over the years?

That was plain Google search dude...
I was quoting from Wikipedia, and all of my links were Wikipedia except one news article from India.

Do you think it's odd that their temples are known to have people beaten to death by the members?

I've met cool Hindu dudes, Muslim dudes, Sikh dudes (the hat).

When they are in your element, they are nice people.

Maybe the nice people are the ones who run away from the rest.

But once you get a large number of them, where they control the area, it's very different.

You met a couple people.

That doesn't make the entire religion peaceful in the face of known brutality at their religious sites.

absolutely LOVE that P220, but it's a tad bit too large for EDC. (38 ounces empty weight)

I feel the same way about my compensated 226. There's just no way to carry it concealed, thing's a frickin Howitzer in a holster. Stupid accurate and the flattest shooting pistol I own, hands down.

Excellent choice on the Scorpion finish on yours, too. Looking at getting a UC1911 in the Emperor Scorpion finish eventually, but gotta save bit by bit so the wife won't give me the stink-eye. If I'm dropping $300-400 here and there on ammo or camo, she's generally pretty cool with it. But those $1500 expenditures, I gotta handle those gingerly and with some notice.

my kids belong to the Roman Baptists of the Holy Sawed Off

can they carry theirs

(Holy Sawed off can only be used for holy crusade purposes)

No shite. Do all KKK members represent all white folks?

JFC, you people are weird.

Dude, first you are like oh wow known to be non violent, now you are like well white people have the KKK.

White people aren't a religion.

How about a religion with a modern day KKK?

That would be a better example.

Fine.

My kids is a member of the Church of Smith & Wesson and it is a tenet of his faith he carry a loaded 9mm pistol in his person at all times.

Schools are weapon free zones. You take it from there.

What kind of entitlement is this?

The same one found in the UK. That has worked out well for them (Henry Nowak excluded).

A Sikh neighbor told me that this is ridiculous. Yeah it's ceremonial, but in terms of cultural whatever it's not THAT important that you can't leave it at home.
