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.

Alabama, with most voting AGAINST carry rather than FOR it? :shock:
Well, if the "Old South" is going liberal, I guess it's all over for America as it once was.
What a disappointment...but not completely unexpected considering how liberalism is spreading nowadays like the Black Death did in 1348. Or like an army of Orcs marching on Helm's Deep.
What can men do against such reckless naivete?

John, I'm still amazed that Texas doesn't allow open carry. We just have to keep fighting. Have you joined the Texas Citizens Defense League? http://txcdl.org/

ama-gi,
Sort of, but not so much now.

I plan to leave TX anyway, within 4 years if not sooner...a couple of years in Galveston perhaps, then out of this state.
VA around White Stone looks good. Used to live in Fairfax but it's too pricey for me now: Apartment rents are pretty steep.

Self-defense for students? Or military recruitment? "I'm sorry kid, but you can only protect yourself if you jump on Uncle Sam's bandwagon."

Now it's 65% for self defense and 35% for victimhood.
Everyone knows these polls aren't scientific, but it still must irk the antis no end to see them go this way. "What's this world coming to? Don't they believe our propaganda anymore?!"

A self defence club on campus does make sense. You could train the members and go over possible scenarios that could happen. SOPs could be made and coordination between them and the Police and campus security as far as what needs to be done when they show up. How to pinpoint the bg verses the student defending themselves and others. You could train with paint-ball guns the sim rounds would be better though. After a few force on force trainingsessions you would get an idea it it not as easy as just point a weapon and shoot.

If you wanna carry a club, be my guest. Just so long as you don't try to force others to do the same.
