Hey thanks for the heads up. Didn't know about the kirpan. I always respect people who are armed. Go Sikhs!
Just as an aside -- my parish church was doing a fundraiser a few years ago to repair the roof of our church. A very nice older Sikh man and his daughter came to the fundraiser dinner and made a donation that surprised us all. The Sikh gentleman said that he knew how hard it was to raise money to get things like this done because he had done the same to get his Sikh Temple built a few years before. He said, "All for the Glory of God!"
I must admit I was impressed and I decided to learn a little about Sikhs because of him.
