Who has seen this commercial by the Ad Council and Safe Neighborhoods?

All I have to say is...WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP.



It would seem in a state as redneck as Idaho can be, it is absolutely amazing to me how anti-gun ads and actions can gain more publicity than the pro-gun-rights crowd. I'm actually not even sure what the problem is, seeing how so many of us here at OCDO have been having so many confrontations. Is it just a matter of not getting our word out there or simply liberal media stepping all over us?

As the campus director for Student for Concealed Carry on Campus at OREGON State University, I am actually surprised to see more support for my protests and causes THERE than I do in my own home state. I've attached a response from a professor.

I think it may be a combination of that and the influx of Extreme Left Wing (Frothing at the Mouth Socialists) from California & Portland that may be at the root of the problem.

That is Surprising, and also a shame.

Certainly not something you would expect in Idaho.
