I have my share of issues with The Firearm Blog. But one thing they’ve been doing that I do like is “Small Business Spotlight”. Yesterday’s entry pushed my buttons:
The Armed Papist.
The Armed Papist is dedicated to promoting responsible gun ownership through the lens of Catholic teaching, upholding the sanctity of life, peace, and justice. Guided by the principles of the Catholic faith, seeking to educate individuals and communities on the ethical and moral responsibilities of firearm use, fostering a culture of safety, respect for human dignity, and the common good. Through comprehensive education, spiritual reflection, and community engagement, aimed to empower individuals to make informed, conscientious decisions that contribute to peace and uphold the values of love and protection for all of God’s creation.
As everyone knows, Bob, I already have my own official trainer. But Rick Barrett looks interesting as heck, and it seems like he’s up near Waco, which isn’t too far for me. I think I’d like to spend some time hanging out and talking with him.
And there’s a lot of good resources on his site about how Catholic social teaching interacts with the idea of self-defense. I think this site is worth a bookmark.
