If they're law abiding citizens, under the second amendment it is their right to bear arms even if they're Zoroastrian or Zen Buddhist or African Animalist. See second amendment: http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.billofrights.html

I think it's fine for a Christian to own a gun, they have the same right to defend themselves as anyone else. I would certainly expect a Christian not to threaten anyone unduly or use the gun to gain power over another.

Following the strictest interpretations of the bible, Christians should not bear weapons but are armed with love and peace and God's favor. That said...there were no guns in Christ's time and they worried far less over home invasions and car jackings and armed robberies and rape in dark alleys and serial killers. It is just as "right" for Christians to carry a gun in the U.S. as for them to carry them anywhere else (anywhere else it is legal to do so, that is).

They can carry a gun whenever anyone else can. Christianity has never stood for nonviolence.

It is if they are U.S. citizens. [Matthew 10:34] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword. -- Jesus [Lev 26:7] And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. [Luke 11:21] When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: [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.

Consider this: If you had the means to protect yourself against an attacker whom you knew was bent on murdering you and you failed to protect yourself, you would technically be committing suicide and isn't suicide a mortal sin for Christians???
-
I don't see how it is any more or less right for a Christian to carry a gun than it is for anyone else.

I am not an atheist, but I am the least religious person that I have ever met, but how can we just stop at "christians carrying guns?" What about the military chaplain at the front lines during war? Should he pray for us to live and give us hope? Or what about some of the clothes that we wear or some of the food that we eat? Or animals eating animals? It seems that something has to do something politically incorrect to another to live. Vicious circle stuff.

It is the birthright and duty of every American and Christian to be armed. The right of the people to keep and bear arms is an inalienable god-given right. It is against the Ten Commandments to murder, but not to defend. Jesus, from Galilee, held out that the Ten Commandments could be condensed into two; "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." - Matthew 22:37-40 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." - Said Jesus, Matthew 7:12 Then said he [Jesus Christ] 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". - Luke 12:39 "When a strong man armed, keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace" - Luke 22:36 http://gunshowonthenet.com/biblicalarmsquotes.html
