Thanks for your reply... Since nobody can tell me for sure if I will make it to heaven, I guess it must be a matter of Faith.

Glad you called me friend, thank you. This is what God has for all of us in the family.

God alone makes that call, not strangers on the internet.  We have no way of knowing/judging how much of God's Truth you're willing to accept with you heart, mind, and might.  

If I get there before you I will try to remember your inspiring faith and put in a good word for you

Sure, if you repent. (Spoiler: Repentance includes baptism.)

Super-short answer: all people who follow Christ will spend eternity with Him, happy beyond their wildest dreams.
Much more informative, but longer answer: members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints don't view the afterlife as a binary Heaven/Hell the way other Christians do.  Rather the LDS view is more of a spectrum view, where even evilest* people end up happy in the eternities, with some measure of God's presence.  The more one accept God into your life, the more of God's glory and happiness that person receives in the eternities.  Obviously LDS folks hold that LDS beliefs are the most correct and fullness of the Gospel, leaving to the fullness glory / happiness / God's presence. 
Even much more informative, but longer answer: see here https://www.lds.org/manual/gospel-principles/chapter-46-the-final-judgment?lang=eng&_r=1

Yes, we Mennonite & Amish are anabaptist cousins, some live old order, some have adopted everyday technology, such as the use of power grid services.

I, for one, can’t see a justification for taking a gun into church in either of your examples.
IMHO, trying to make an analogy between the treatment of the Missouri saints and any danger Church members face today in a chapel is melodramatic, at best.
As for the Nephites, they had every reason to follow revelation from God.  Our current direction from God, through his chosen servants is to leave guns at home when we go to Church.

Beautifully stated, and clearly deeply felt.  I both admire and share your sentiments.

Love you! Clearly Canadian! 

I love your faith, my reasoning for desiring guns to be present is for the safety of my friends and family.

Although I am not a member of the LDS, I would like to share a thought; most respectfully of course.
It is with sadness to meditate on some of the replies in this thread. As a Christina in the family of God, focusing on following the teachings of Christ's non-resistance attributes, it is unbearable to imagine myself worshipping God with a gun in hand, or sitting among fellow brothers and sister's in the faith who possess such weapons regardless of the reason. 
My personal rest and peace lay with God in knowing if I am martyred, it would be at the moment of divine dedication to my Lord in heaven as were my forefathers in the Anabaptist movement.

I appreciate your comment.

Plus, if you truly believe you were commanded to do (or not do) something by a loving deity who knows what is best for you, it seems reasonable to at least try to follow those instructions.

Same reason people do things like... wear caps, veils, scapulars, avoid crop tops, swearing, fornicating, etc. etc.  Also same reason I take off my shoes when I enter my mother's house and not throw away used Solo cups.  Because I promised.

good enough, thanks for answering my question.

Interesting; you speak of eternal marriage? Does that mean that married couples either married in the LDS temple or sealed by it shall be blessed with carrying their earthly marriage forward into eternal life into heaven?
