This last week, I PM'edover a dozenpeople who have OCDO identities, and note either Orange County, or a city therein, as their "Location." The following request was sent:
Fellow Orange County UOC’er,
I am writing you because you are one of about a dozen OCDO members who have identified Orange County, or a city herein, as your “Location.”
I am hoping to get “a show of hands” from people interested in building a group of O.C. residents who wish to participate in group UOC events, much like what a San Diego group has done in Carlsbad, Encinitas and Oceanside recently.
I wish to facilitate an initial “meet-n-greet” so that we might become acquainted in-person, and open up discussion as to ideas and approaches for local events.
To allow for freedom of discussion, instead of meeting at a restaurant, I wish to offer the use of the clubhouse within my condominium association in Lake Forest[/b].
I would like to arrange for an upcoming Sunday, either October 4[suP]th[/suP] or 11[suP]th[/suP].
What I need from you is an acknowledgment of interest to attend.
Which date(s) are you available?[/b]
[/b]
Which timeframe would you be available?[/b]
I will try to accommodate as many of you as possible with a final decision on the date and time.
I suspect that this meeting should take not much more than an hour or so.
Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway), I am requesting that no one UOC to this meeting[/b]. Plenty of time for that later.
I am keeping this off theforum for the time being.
What say you?
You CAN refuse to be a victim. CARRY OPEN. CARRY PROUD.
I'm sorry, but was it something I said ?!
While the past twenty years of being involved in gun-ownership rights has taught me not to be surprised at the degree of apathy among gun owners, I can't help but come away from this experience rather disappointed.
Does this random sampling actually tell me that 87.5% of Orange County residents who have registered at OCDO are now deceased ?
Or are they perhapsnot really interest in open carry ?
Or are they perhaps too affraid to open carry, even in a group event ?
Or are they perhaps too paranoid to participate in an organizational meeting outside of a public venue, fearful that this is all some sort of devious plot hatched by law enforcement to arrest the participants and wisk them off in black helicopters to some military base in the mid-west that has been converted to a detention center for extremist gun owners and other right wing fanaticswhom the current federal administration feels must be silenced ?!!!!!!! :what::what::what::what::what:
(Whew !!!!!!!)
Sure,if Bill Huntis elected Sheriff in 2010 ( http://www.billhuntforsheriff.com/ ), his policy will be akin to "shall issue" when it comes to CCW's. But that's still a big "if," and still along way off.
Is this what my random sampling of Orange County residents reveals they are waiting for?
(Psst...or are they for the most part just a bunch of frightened, lookie-loo, keyboard warrior weenies ? :banghead: )
Anyway, well folks, I at least tried. Which is more than most folks can say.
Guess that I'll just keep walking with the San Diego group.
'Parently ain't nuthin' gonna happen up here in Orange County.
