I live in North Texas and know Gainesville quite well... Every other man and some women within 50 square miles of Gainesville own two - three or more guns... and these folks do not take kindly to outsiders telling some local pastor what he and his flock can or cannot do... in their religious beliefs... This could be a real showdown... AND I am very troubled that local law enforcement would actually ask the pastor to not go through with their intended symbolic act... Mind blowing... that law enforcement would promote - letting threats of violence stop a legal religious act... Head Shaking...
The church is in Gainesville, Florida.
