Bishop Herro Blair, pastor of the Faith Cathedral Deliverance Centre in Kingston and the country's political ombudsman, said that having a firearm for self-protection was no different from having a knife, Labrador or a Pit bull to protect one's home, as all were equally lethal.

He said there was nowhere in the Bible which said carrying a legal firearm was wrong. "The axiom says God helps those who help themselves and in the same token I believe God protects those who protect themselves," said Blair, who has been the subject of debates regarding the carrying of a legal firearm.

Sort of adds substance to that old religious creed, "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out."
