Who's the man behind Operation CarryLand? Is that Mike? If so, he deserves to be on the list. The radio ads brought a lot of attention to OpenCarry.org and Wisconsin open carry in general. Many of us would not even be here if it wasn't for those efforts.

Also, what is the purpose for this? I'm not trying to be rude, just curious.

Edit for one more question:

What exactly is Wisconsin Carry, Inc.? No organization of this name exists that I know of.

I nominate BNH!

While I agree Mike should be on the list. The money that paid for the radio ads came from all of us.

The money spent on BNH's picnic was his own. The time he spent attending other events and contacting Businesses and legislators was his own. He has devoted a lot of time and has inevitably made a difference.

Glock34:

My list was by no means supposed to be complete, I will add you, Mike, andbnh.

I was not aware, that the (',' and '.') would cause problems with PM's.

There were many who donated LARGE sums of money to Operation Carryland, but I thought weshould stick to people who openly put themselves out there in the press, I also thought we should limit it to Wisconsin Residents. Some on the list havenever posted on OCDO, this isn't about OCDO.

I want input from all OCDO members to nominate those who you feel have done the most to advance OC in Wisconsin, and every one on the list help advance OC. We'll get into the voting next week, for now, are there any others we should put on the list?

"AG J.B. Van Hollen"
"Mr. Greg",
"Interceptor_Knight",
"Landose_thegohst",
"Parabellum",
"hugh jarmis",
"Springfield1911",
"David E. Olson",
"bnhcomputing",
"glolck34",

Buying influence? How conventional. I didn't realize that 'Mike', user=32, lives in Wisconsin.

My god you people are particular. I wrote it was my thought to limit the list others here decided to include non-residents, that's fine.

If you would like to nominate chime in...

yes, I openly put myself out there in the press.

was interviewed by local tv stations 5 or 6 times , for the open carry picnic in Green Bay...
twice for the Green Bay city council's attempt to ban guns in parks.

was on WTAQ 1360 am a few times in regards to both, along with interceptor knight

Jerry Bader morning talk show host on 1360 AM , contacted me with a heads up on the proposed city council parks ban , I then passed this info on to opencarry.org

I have many media contacts which call me for interviews, when gun related stories come about.

One of my neighbors is an anti-gun retired cardiologist. We pick at each other over politics, but I am currently quite PO'd, 'put out', with him. He damned conservatives and me for self-appointed spokespersons for conservatism. He did this in circumstances where I was unable to retort denigrating his elected and anointed leader.

I pray that we are not known by spokesmen but by the company we keep.

Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns and the truth. NRA KMA$$ damn the Obamination.

That is why I asked for nominations, by no means was the list in the OP supposed to be complete but rather examples.

Please continue to nominate any other individuals whom you feel had a positive influence on OC in Wisconsin

Like the site but a little sparse on the information. 1 story line and a link to the online petition. It needs more to keep someone with a short attention span........

Oh, is that a kitty?

BNH and Hugh Jarmis.
Hmm, I guess that means
I for one am not welcome.
The Question I have is this, If
these people do not want to
Continue membership with OCDO
then why come here and
recruit for their own site?
I guess I don't understand
what they are trying to
accomplish.

We know the site needs work and we are working on it, but I will again remind the posters, this thread is about the “most influential individuals.”

Please don’t jump to conclusions or post false statements about who is/isn’t welcome.

Thank your for keeping the thread on topic, “most influential individuals.”
