We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Thanks for the link, I think. Reading it just gives me a big headache. I am glad this board is mostly full of people that believe in rights and aren't scared ninny's to exercise them.

They just need to hear from us about the political activism benefits, our actual experiences, and the ratio of good encounters to bad. I registered. Just waiting for the e-mail confirmation. Anybody want to come join me?

I registered on the forum. I've browsed through it earlier today. I don't have an heavily weighed opinion on what's going on there yet.
I joined another forum about a month ago that I am not necessarily too keen on, but I still browse it every once in a while. It is 2aforum.com.

I already posted some of my thoughts. However, the Anti OC crowd doesn't want to hear the truth about OC any more then the MMM'ers want to hear the truth. Not everyone can be an 'out of the closet' freedom fighter. Some prefer to cower in their homes and declare their rights loudly.

Some of those guys may be our "public." Lets see if we can't convert any of them.

I don't understand the anti-OC people. That would be like us coming on to this forum and bashing CC. I don't think I've ever see anyone here do that. As far as I'm concerned, OC or CC, whichever you feel is best for you. I do both.

For a lot of people OC is too out front. They are not interested in dealing with the questions, the occasional Pat down and serial number check from LEO 229, or the wrath of the MMM. They just want the security of being able to protect themselves, and be left alone.
It is not any different than people here really except in so far as the way we each go about achieving the goal. They see the path to the goal requires CC so people will leave them alone because they are unaware of the firearm. OC folks believe they should have all these things without hiding who they are and what they represent, because people should simply respect that we have rights.

Very poorly constructed poll.
Answers are split between the VA specific and non-VA answers.

I concur on your observations on the numbers and the way they are distributed among the (too many) answers.

So, Hank, since you're so interested in this poll, how did you vote??
For the record, I voted that Virginians are correct to open carry, and I voted if legal, I would open carry (which in fact I do, almost every day).

I noticed that response to several of those statements. I've yet to actually find someone cite something to that effect. There seems to be no evidence to backup everyone's claim that OC'ers are first targets.

I have yet to see a story of an OC'er actually having to use their weapon at all... Must be a pretty good deterrent

Hank, I remember thinking about that incident.
If the guy was in condition white while OCing, what condition would he have been in if he was CCing?
I wonder, because while I feel that I have good situational awareness while CCing, I'm positively hyper while OCing!! Maybe it's just me.....

I can imagine that there are some who may object to being required to carry a level 3 holster, for reasons of their own.

More laws. How could we go wrong with that. After all, laws fix any problem.

Pushing more gun control again, Hank? No wonder youwant to get cozy withMMM and praise NRA when they sell out.
Now for the part where you call me an extremist (which I won't deny) and then try to ridicule me (which won't work on those whose opinion I actually give a crap about).So, back to you, buddy.
