"A retired pastor I know, who had during the course of his ministry spent much time abroad, told of a German pastor who related to him the story of an encounter with the Gestapo. The Gestapo officer, intent upon intimidation, came into his offic, and, taking a seat across from him, took off his pistol belt and laid it on the desk. The pastor reached for his Bible from the bookshelf behind him and laid it on the table, saying, 'OK, now that we both have our weapons out in the open, let us proceed.'"
