Not surprising.  He looks to be wearing a Soviet Veterans Medal on his left.  The second medal on the left breast I cannot identify and would guess is probably post Soviet Union from one of the former Soviet bloc countries.  This guy probably doesn't tolerate sleeping in church.

And here I was thinking John combed out his beard and joined the clergy...

C'mon, HL, if that were John, he'd most definately have a bigger gun.

I do *have* a couple of Makarovs... but my beard isn't that long, has a lot more grey in it, and I keep my hair shorter, too.

And I wouldn't wear a silly hat like that, either.

We had a Chaplain in Viet Nam who was a bomber pilot in WWII, bombing the same area of Viet Nam in his B25,  an exFBI agent and carried a 45 in his Chaplains Kit.

When I was a kid in Hawaii, one of the chaplains had an eyepatch.  Turned out he'd been a paratrooper in WWII, had jumped at D-Day, and later in the war lost the eye when his jeep ran over a mine.  So he went to divinity school, got ordained, and came back in the service.

My chaplain is a Marine Major, has 100% disability, and carries a .45 ACP. God bless him!

Read up on St Gabreil Possenti. There's a movement to declare him  the patron saint of handgunners.
The guy in the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXNE2jBaL9o is not a great speaker but he tells the story.

A good makarov makes for a great concealed piece...And unless I'm going to campus, I'm carrying here in Blacksburg, VA...

The chaplain for a number of years in my Army Reserve unit was one of the best shots with an M-16 I ever saw.  And not just my view but of most of the unit.  He was also very good at setting up a camo net.  It was like he had guidance from Someone who knew a thing or two about making large bushes and small trees.

This photo is from the reportage about a Kazak's ("kossaks" for the English-speaking) children summer camp in 2009 in Sverdlovsk (Ekaterinburg) region.  That particular camp was a very controversial affair as the rest of the pictures shows something bordering terrorist training camp, not a typical kazak children camp...
Lots of clergy during the Soviet time were KGB's seksots (secretny sotrudnik), read - agents, so they were trained in the use of firearms... 
Russian clergy is prohibited  from taking arms, even as recreation activity... regardless of what one did before becoming a priest...
