I don't know if that's true or not but loading a gun and pulling the trigger is considered "work" and must certainly be forbidden on Shabbat.
wrong again---if there is a matter of saving a life----it is allowed on Shabbat---BUT
IT IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANON LAW--(that is the laws of Constantine---as codified
by his grandson JUSTIN (JUSTINIAN LAW) and SHARIAH LAW. If you do not know
this history---you are MISSING lots of how the world is today and what jews and muslims
are today. Interesting stuff. A few years ago--hubby (an artist born in a shariah shit hole)
and I happened by an ART EXPOSTION in Manhattan put on by the SAUDI embassy----
"ISLAMIC ART" ---it was mostly scimitars or pictures of generic looking arabs on horseback
waving scimitars. The art part of the scimitars is the elaborate silver handles---made
in fancy filagree. Guess what!!! The silver work of arabia was done virtually exclusively
by JEWS ----hubby's ancestral community----it was FAMILIAR to him and he could discuss
it province to province (in Yemen) Wearing a fancy scimitar is what a well dressed
arab in arabia does -----ONLY A MUSLIM---of course <<<an aspect of the "culture"
that played out this week.
