No.

Discussions concerning the Church of John Moses Browning began a number of years ago, with some court cases concerning the Sikhs.

The Sikh religion imposes a number of obligations on its adherents, among which is the carrying, at all times, of a sword or knife - called a kirpan, as a symbol of their willingness to fight injustice. This religious obligation had led to some conflicts with laws forbidding the carrying of knives in certain places. The Sikhs had won, in court, a religious exemption to these bans.

Which got several of us thinking. Could we not get a similar religious exemption for the Church of John Moses Browning, adherents of which would be obligated to carry, at all times and all places, a handgun of Browning design, as a symbol of their willingness to fight injustice?
