Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

sauerofkraut,

Thank you for open carrying! I admire your courage to exercise your rights.

If you dress normal act normal and go about your normal daily routine no one will even pay much notice that you're OC’ing. This is how all OC’ers should act.

Keep us updated.
