I am also not a Sikh, nor can I claim that I personally know any Sikhs. From my admittedly limited understanding, though, one of their tenets does involve the carrying of a ceremonial knife. Whether that tenet would extend to the carrying of a firearm, I know not.

Nonetheless, I'll be interested in seeing how this shakes out, because I see a lot of noise on various boards about how the "no guns in church laws" violate separation of church and state. One of my usual comments to such noise is something to the effect of: No, it doesn't. Not unless carrying a firearm is really a tenet of the belief system applicable to the church in question.
