Amish in a Gun Store

[Delmar]

They could have been Mennonite or another group with similar style. I'm not sure about the rules, it may be allowed.

If 90% of all people were Amish what would the rest be?













Van drivers!

There are a couple of Amish guys who shoot trap at the Nappanee conservation club. Amish can and do own riles and shotguns. I don't think it would be to common to own a handgun though.

Then there are variations of the Amish as well. Some can drive cars and talk on cell phones and run diesel gen-sets with true 480 in their shops.
I do believe that a lot of them can and do own firearms. I saw a few pockets of them at the last Gun Show at the Coliseum in Fort Wayne a few weeks ago. They had a few rifles slung over the soldier and looked at the tables just like the rest of us.
And I actually do know a few of them that own handguns. but they'll tell you with much apprehension.

They do like their guns and they like their booze that's for sure. Don't let them fool you. They throw some pretty good parties complete with bull riding.

Amish comment on guns

While in a small local gun shop recently, there was a late 20's Amish man inquiring about revolvers. He picked one out, completed the paperwork and someone said, "I didn't know the Amish bought hand guns". The Amish man smiled and said it is true that we are taught not to take a life, but we also know about self defense. If someone was to break into my home, I would tell them, "Excuse me sir I mean you no harm.....but you are standing where I am about to shoot." Classic....true story.

You don't think they have guns? Tell that to the Amish man that sold me the Enfield in .303 British...

i know and work with Amish and they aren't supposed to have guns because they can take lives

I read this entire thread and was surprised no one addressed the OP's statement. I do not own any guns with the intention of taking lives. I do not think the intention of protecting myself and family to be taking lives.
