You sound a little casual about it. What is your purpose for carrying the AK pistol, if you decide it's a "go?"

education to the masses my dear Watson, a great conversation piece.

No kidding, Sherlock.

But what exactly are you trying to teach the masses? What is your pedagogical goal?

Only had a Kid ask us about having guns. After the fireworks went to Denny`s to meet up with some of Kimberguy`s friends and a waiter there was freeking out looking at both of our hips, nothing said just funny to see his reaction when he saw us OCing. Was probly a little intimating seeing 2 guys with 2 guns on there hips that could be seen anyway.

Kimberguy, see if your pedagogical goal can be to teach Hank T to share his location with us. We know he doesn't have to, but some here are curious about locations as they pertain to opinions.

Huh? "Some hereare curious?" Where is "here?" Who is "some?"

"As they pertain to opinions?" Huh? Which opinions?

Shoot me a PM, SD, if you wanna know anything.



Glad things went fine for Kimberguy's deployment of his AK pistol.

Not positive, but I think he decided not to OC the AK because it was only him and Wally. That's the direction he sounded like he was taking when I talked to him on the phoneprior to the fireworks starting.

Sorry Kimberguy didn`t make his AK debut. He said that he is going to have that on Tuesday at the Tea Party when there are more people. He did have the AK in the bed of the truck during the fire works where some people could see it before it got dark,But he did have it slinged on his shoulder.

Hank T, here, meaning on this site. Some meaning myself and others that have asked you what your location is. Opinions, means the opinions that you share with others that may be relative to Michigan issues. I know that you do not have to display your location, as no one here is required to, but your profile says State Researcher and that I am curious as to whether you are a resident of my state of Michigan or not.springerdave, proud resident of Michigan.

+1 (I too have been curious about you Hank)

I've wondered the same thing. My assumption (and it's only an assumption) is that Hank is not from Michigan. I only see him post on the Michigan threads once in a while, yet he has over 4100 posts. So assume that Hank is just checking in on either all the state's forums, or a select few that he is interested in.

I do wonder whyHank has so many posts, but in the several posts I have seen fromhim he usually seems to question the reason people are doing certain things. Not always, but several times I have noticed this. Maybe him not being (possibly)a "Michigander" , this is why he questions some of the things people have made because the state he (possibly) lives in does things different than Michigan.

I think you might be taking a different look at OCDO than I do. I use the "Recent" and "My Account" views almost entirely in visiting this forum. So the threads come up from all subforums by date/time.

I read what interests me with regard to OC, self-defense, legal issues, etc. My opinions are expressed as both positive and negative. For example, I do recall seeing some nice work by MOC and I commented on that. I vaguely recall an exchange of e-mails with a pleasant fellow from the Michigan group (one of the 'V' guys). I think we were arguing a point or two about something. (Not arguing in the negative sense, rather in the rhetorical, thought-provoking vein.)

OCDO is a national forum. I tend to look at it in that perspective. But of course, everything that happens, happens somewhere, in some state. However, it'snot veryimportant very often which state too me.

As far as having so many posts, I don't think it's too too many. Actually, there'd be more but BobCav and longwatch deleted a bunch of them for some odd reasons. I've been meaning to repost them, but ....time.....

Someof us are just curious about people that we interact with online. The number of posts you have tell me/us that you obviously have an interest in OC.

i don't mind, i have noticed both positive and negitive feedback, i think it bothers some people because of how misterious you are. most of us have a good idea of who anyon else is.
