Gun Range Owner Makes Offer to Any Rabbis Wanting Extra Protection for Their Congregations

2018-11-02

[The Western Journal] Following the mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a Colorado Springs area gun range owner is offering to help arm rabbis, according to KRDO-TV.

The businessman is willing to give a free AR-15 and 100 rounds of ammunition to any local rabbi who wants one.

The offer was made by Mel Bernstein, who is Jewish himself and the owner of Dragonman’s, which is a gun range, military museum paintball center, and weapon retailer outside Colorado Springs.

The value of the gifts that Bernstein hopes to give the local religious leaders is an estimated $650 each, and the store was clear that each rabbi would still have to pass a background check in order to take possession of the weapon.

KOAA reported that Bernstein would also offer training to go along with the rabbis’ newly acquired firearms.

KOAA reports that some rabbis are very interested in the offers, others not so much. And also:

We also spoke to another woman who attends services at various synagogues. She asked to remain anonymous. She said the offer of the free AR-15 was nice, but the weapon is too big. She didn’t have a problem with a rabbi having a handgun. She said that many of the people who attend with her are actually already carrying weapons and that they do so discreetly.

God helps those who help themselves. Here we see the spirit of the Maccabees made manifest.
