Sorry, DreQo. The '07 blip was the Danbus-Szymecki-Norfolk City Council effect. :cool:

Haha no I didn't mean it was MY doing. I found this website at the beginning of '07. I was just saying I remember the first jump in traffic. :p I'm not that cocky!

I get google news alerts for the phrase 'open carry' among other gun related ones. I've been getting about 1 news story a day lately about it.

I think i joined right around that spike in 07 also. That's about the time I got my first handgun and started thinking about carrying. My first daughter was also born a little while before that. Coincidence???
