Ha ha. That's funny. Make sure the Tyler doesn't find it.Maybe I'll be packin to CGMNA in Masdison next month
Hey brother, just out of curiosity. Are you a conspiracy theorist ? No problem if you are, just wondering.From what I have read about reactionary and revolutionary groups in the US, the rule is: if a member is pushing for violence then that member is being paid by the FBI.
The more such reports, the bigger the budget.
Absolutely agree. Those of us that carry firearms should be allowed to do so in lodge for our own protection and that of everyone else.And we don't carry weapons in Masonic lodges to protect ourselves... This is very sad
I carry in church. My pastor knows and has no problem with it. One of my friends in church told me that she felt more comfortable knowing that I am armed.These types of stories are the main reason my views on firearms in masonic lodges and churches are evolving...
I wonder what steps would have to be made in order for subordinate lodges to arm their members ? I'm sure many masons have seen this article, so the GLS will have to do something or members wont attend meetings and soon will become inactive. Just my opinionThese types of stories are the main reason for my evolving views on firearms in masonic lodges and churches...
I've argued vigorously, in the past, against firearms in the lodge. I'm not ready to completely turn over a new leaf... but I'm leaning that way. Heavily.Absolutely agree. Those of us that carry firearms should be allowed to do so in lodge for our own protection and that of everyone else

. Just my opinion.
That's what I told our Tyler...you may have to start packing something more than a symbolic sword...give our Tylers some firearms!

Your are very right. A lot of brethren believe it goes for everyone. I'm going to be bringing this up in our next lodge meeting, and if I have to I will call Grand and see what's their input on it.Remember the principle - Different jurisdiction different rules. More than that - Within one jurisdiction different lodge different rules.
Candidates are disarmed, but that's only discussed in the first degree and only about candidates. Some brothers interpret that to include members but that's not what the ritual actually says.
There exist jurisdictions that tell members to be disarmed in tiled meetings and jurisdictions that do not. In jurisdictions that do not there are lodges that tell members to be disarmed in tiled meetings and lodges that do not.
My mother lodge happens to have a lot of current and retired police officers. If you know where to look there is usually at least one member who has a little pouch carefully positioned to not draw notice.
