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.

What did I mean with 'coordination'? Suppose you had a restaurant in the gang-filled ghetto, what would you think if a bunch (7-10)of OC'ers descended upon your place, when that "never" happens? I'd rather not get on the bad side of an wary armed store owner, you know what I mean?
That's all I meant. Sorry if I was unclear. Hopefully the worst that would happen is the owner didn't want us there, thereby ruining our plans. Oh well...

But it will never happen. No way you could get a group of guys to go for a stroll in the heart of the ghetto while OCing...
And what's with the "require some coordination" idea? I don't recall the Manassas 7 or the Norfolk 8 coordinating anything with the eateries they went to. In fact, the conventional wisdom is "don't call ahead."
OCing in groups is obviously best done in the relative safety of the Wal-Marts, Targets, good restaurants and public libraries. Those are the people that should be educated...and protected.
I don't think anyone (me included) would want to go traipsing through the ghetto showing arms. I'd be too afraid to do it. Others would be too.
It will never happen.

HankT - I don't think your recommendation is wise, and it's perhaps slightly irresponsible. I personally would not feel comfortable with 7 - 10 OC'ers walking into the heart of the old hood and plopping down at a corner resturant.
If we're going to define the type of place your talking about, it's in the heart of the city where the people are over-ridden by thugs/criminals/gangs who control a peice of property by force/armed means, and are willing to protect it by physical and violent means without batting an eyelash and walking over your warm corpse after the fact.
Now, your suggesting abunch of us crackers with cap guns come strolling in there for brunch during the day or a cup of joe at night, and you don't think, just a little bit, for a second, that this might, just might, be instigating a situation that will most likely get out of hand very quickly? Sir you need your head checked. Don't we preach there's a right way to do things and a wrong way to do things - see PackinVB's thread about McyD's and LHMI.
Yeah, a group of us with .40, .45. and what ever other semi autos potentially against people with Tec-9's or whatever it is the bangers are playing with these days. Great idea. You sir are a role model for youth with your wisdom. That is what your suggesting right, the scenario above? Lead the way.
Further more, to be clear, Legba stated he would not do this activity without the gun, he is not suggesting that anyone SHOULD do this. You however ARE suggesting that someone, or a group of someones should, this now makes you the owner of the actual idea of the activity. I say again, Lead the way.

Regarding your deflection of "Lead the way," if you look at the words in my post real closely, you'll see that I said "I'd be too afraid to do it." I purposely chose little words to say that. So it woud be, um, clear. Sorry about that.
It will never happen.

Even assuming it didn't instantly degenerate into a free-fire zone, I sincerely hope everyone realizes that the {anti-gun} media would spin such a display of force into a "racial" issue, with all the OC'ers being media-branded as KKK'ers, skinheads, radicals. vigilantes,etc. (yes, even though I'm sure all races would be represented among the OC'ers).
The PR devastation to OC'ers and their cause would be inestimable, and would whiplash through the rest of the pro-gun community, hurting us all.
This is not a scenario that needs discussion - it's a discussion that needs ENDED. Pete

OC at midnight in the ghetto is NOT the smartest thing to do. There probably wouldn't be any progress at all, and would most likely degress. How it could degress is well said by spy1.
spy1, please don't advocate lack of communication. As far as I can tell, nobody was really planning on doing this. We were discussing the ramifications of OC/ghetto issues. My opinion would've been stated thus: This scenario does not need to happen, ever. This is what I think is referred to as a 'lose-lose' situation.
But then again, I guess I should keep my speech to myself, eh?

You are a better man than I am, Legba, to even think of venturing into the ghetto in Cincy after dark!My personal choice of weaponry would be a shotgun!
TrueBrit and Legba inspire a quiteinteresting idea: What if a committed and resolute OCer wanted to excercise his right to go anywhere he wished in Cincy (or Philly...or Norfolk...). And anywhere includes the ghetto! So, in order to excercise that right and to educate the public .... the guy decides to go a walk through Over-the-Rhine, check out the sights, smoke a cigarette and just, well, be. Let's say for propriety's sake he has his peacemaker in holster, not in hand as Legba might suggest.
Whoa, Nellie. Wouldn't that be a great demonstration of something?
What would even be cooler would be a group of OCers going through the ghetto. Excercising, making a statement...stopping at an eats place with local flair...kind of like the Norfolk group recently....
I dunno. Now that I think about it, I don't believe I've heard hereof much OCing in the ghetto. I don't know what that means, but it is interesting.
