Amish in a Gun Store

[TiminMishawaka]

Do Amish jump the shark? The thread has.

Then again, maybe we need one more confirmation that the Amish hunt.

Not true they use drivers to travel just like you or I would.

You make my point.

 

[inrunner]

This thread is pointless.

Troll much?

For the record im not Hating on the Amish thats the farthest thing from my mind just thinking out loud.

I was Browsing my local gun store will not name. and there where 3 Amish men looking at shotguns pumps and double barrels. they were fully Amish had the beards and all, i know and work with Amish and they aren't supposed to have guns because they can take lives there same reason they don't drive.

Today watching TV and the show Amish mafia previews come on "its probably fake" but it gets me thinking. Are Amish arming them self's too are they getting scared of whats to come?

Im just asking have anyone else seen Amish in gun stores lately/ever? And we really dont have Amish living around here. please be nice

I grew up around Amish people...and you'd be surprised what some of them own (and shoot) regardless of what their church rules state! I've known them to have guns in hand when people 'come callin' thinkin' they can push them around! In public...they're quite 'complient'...but in private...don't go there...they'll make it hurt!

I guess the Amish i know are very plain indeed.
Had know idea, so in the zombie world Amish will still be around.

I didn't bother reading this thread but do the Amish use
these for self defense or just to hunt?

same as any other human. i know hunters who would defend themselves, and people who don't hunt who would shoot mother teresa in the face if she came for the Title.

as far as them not owning guns... laughable. every amish guy i have ever MET has a gun in the home. and i have met thousands, worked with thousands, and have had hundreds in my home. i have two neighbors, within a mile, that own class 3 firearms. legally. just ask the DNR officer who gets called out when they shoot every couple months.

 

[WestSider]

Yeah I never have thought of Amish people as not owning guns. I saw an Amish guy and his son just the other day browsing the gun department at Gander Mountain.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

So let me get this straight, you're saying those people who live in the old ways, as in living off of the land, farming, fishing, and hunting, use tools the likes of which have been around four or five hundred years, to do so? Hmmm...

Greta! Holen sie mir die shrotflinte!

Two fellers were in desparate need of cash, but admittedly were a bit cowardly. So the one suggested they break into the Amish market. The logic being that since the Amish were non-resistant, even if they were caught, no harm could befall them. Thus they carried out their plot. However, just as they were breaking into the cash register, the owner turned on the lights and confronted them, a shotgun pointed directly at them. Calmly, the Amishman said, Boys, I would never do thee any harm yet you are standing where I am about to shoot.

over the years have seen plenty of Amish buying plenty of guns at estate auctions. get over to the Shipshe or Nappanee shows... great gun shows by the way... and you'll find plenty buying and selling.

I took a busload of Amish from Grabill to Cabela's in Michigan a couple of weeks ago. A day long trip for 56 men, women, and children. Lots of shopping and buying went on.

They have always owned weapons of various types. Make no mistake about that, they are always ready to defend their property and family.

They are Amish, not Quakers. Don't confuse the two groups.

I have a lot of fun every time I have an Amish charter.

 

[Farmritch]

Every amish I know own firearms and hunt with them

 

[PGRChaplain]

I know a lot of Amish Families from Allen, Dekalb, Wells and Adams Counties. Most of the men are Outdoorsmen. Shoot, fish hunt camp ect. They also have some Butchers that make killer Deer Summer Sausage. They build the most Awsome Deer stands you have ever seen. When they buy a new gun it's looked upon as a tool and they don't buy cheap tools.

 

[445supermag]

I KNOW 1 AMISH FAMILY THAT HAS GUNS & BOWS. THEY HAVE RIFLE MUZZELOADER,
SHOTGUNS. THE OLDTIS BOY GOT A 7 PT BUCK ON OPENING DAY ON YOUTH HUNT WEEK END.

I too know very little about the Amish. Thanks for this post, it stirred my curiosity.

I once seen an Amish kid crusing through Hagerstown in his buggy blasting Big Pappa rap music through his subwoofers and smoking cigarettes. Must of been rumspringa!
