I used to be a Methodist, but left when they went left.
Wish we had one like that around here.

(just returned from the church of John Moses Browning, had 92 out of 100 inside the 6” target from 25 yards, pretty good day)

Virtually every one of my shooting buddies is a friend from Church. Having a range right out back would be sweet.
