Hi F4, and thanks for your service!

I'm not in Kentucky, but wondering what a JW is?

Jehovahs Witnesses most likely I didn’t know that they had a thing against guns how do they explain Luke 22:36?

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Edit: Just Googled yes their official position is Anti Gun ownership for personal/family protection.

I knew they were a Cult but not an Anti-2A Cult as well weird.

Well, I found this - scroll down to #22:

So, ok to own guns for hunting/target shooting but NOT for shooting other people in any circumstance. Moreover, they cannot be employed in a capacity that might require them to shoot humans (police, armed services, etc).

JW has been the moniker for them without saying the words " Jehovah Witnesses " for many years. Some have guns, some don't. Some of them refuse military service, some don't. To each his/her own.

Psalm 1

Witnesses are anti any weapon.
Wife used to shoot with me. Now she will go the the range sometimes, but stay in the car. I said come to the line and spot. Nope.

Kentucky is awesome. I fly there every year and spend at least a week in red river gorge exploring.

Louisville/Frankfort/Lexington "triangle of death" sucks. REST of the state is great.

Lived in Ashland for 3 years in the late '90's.

This makes it sound like your wife is a practicing JW but you are not, is that true? If so, how does that work?

While I'm not from KY, I grew up there and wound up moving to CA. It's a beautiful state that gets some snow - but not too much. Education standards are much higher there (contrary to popular belief) and coming to CA, I was able to graduate a full year early as a junior.

While the summer humidity wasn't my favorite thing, I'd probably have moved back there instead of Idaho were it not so distant. The differences are striking in that autumn is spectacular due to the large variety of deciduous trees. A lot of the state's native stone is sandstone, which can be etched into incredibly beautiful "works".

It's a "good 'ol boy state" in that I grew up riding motorcycles and shooting guns and that was quite the norm. I spent my childhood growing up in the eastern half of KY as well as northern TN and loved all of the time I spent wandering and exploring the Appalachian mts.

Sadly, there's an over abundance of poverty in the small communities in the hills whose primary source of income was often the coal deposits, where education was not so good.. Life was short and hard in a lot of those places.

Forgot to mention that one of my best friends was Pentecostal and he always used to enjoy playing up the stories of how they dance with rattlesnakes around their neck. Plenty of those goofballs got bit and some even died.

I lived there at Ft. Campbell in the late 80's. On the TN border. Beautiful state.

Co worker just bought $80k for 45ish acres = $1778/acre. Harrodsburg, about 35 minutes south by southwest of Lexington. No house just a shop. He's moving as soon as his wife retires from the state. He already set up his range.
