SAD! I am sad to say that my recent experience on the website, http://www.opencarry.org has left me scratching my head. I support the 2nd amendment and the right to bear arms. Sadly I think many of these persons that currently advocate open carry of firearms on this website are really out to get attention for themselves and have confrontations with police.
I have read many post that advocate open carry onto private property areas such as malls even with knowledge of sign requesting no weapons. Other posts advocate attempts to befuddle police or to try to get grounds for illegal search lawsuits, and civil rights violations.
I know many officers and I have asked them questions regarding open carry. I have found that the subject simply is not covered in the training. I also believe that the open carry movement is young and growing, LEO's will learn that they need to know these laws now, but in previous times they never were confronted with the issues.
Sure open carry is a second amendment right. I don't want this restricted in any way. I don't think this 2nd amendment right supersedes the responsibility to be good citizens first.
In the mean time please remove my membership from your website.
I trust and pray that this is the work of a small minority here. I have been invited to leave by one member, and harassed via pm by another. (this included 3 request by me for it to stop.)
He even had the nerve to ask me what I was gonna do about it.
Thank you

Im not even sure if this dudes problem is the fact that ppl disagree with him. IMO: his issues stem from the fact that he only comments on his OWN statements and doesn't really address how others respond to him, except the negative. Never valid statements or questions.... I recomend you find another site thats agrees with your every whim and never disagrees

There is something to be said about someone who can ONLY see their point, and no one else's.
As opposed to your seeking attention for yourself in crafting aOCDO membership "fare thee well" grand announcement rather than just leaving without making a scene?Sadly I think many of these persons that currently advocate open carry of firearms on this website are really out to get attention for themselves and have confrontations with police.
Ditto!...Iam a firm believer in standing up for what you beleive in and to also respect what others believe in even if you do not agree with them at all.

I believe his issue with the site was that someone or a few people threatened him by PM based on some of his posts in the Public Form that someone didn't agree with. Personally, I think that if someone needs to threaten someone base on comments posted on this form it just shows how immature they really are. On the flip side if you are going to let a few "bad apples" quiet your opinions then their threats have worked and you have been silenced.

Do you have PROOF that he was threatened in PM's?
Based on my experience with this member at UCC, and from what I've read here, I believe that he was nothing more than a troll, trying to stir up hate and discontent. I think that we can safely ignore him.
Definitely a verytenacious troll.
