Subject: Effort with very large impact
Hello Everyone,
I have several items on the old website that I would like to relay to your IT team. I’m assessing currently what we’re going to keep and it looks like some of it I would be happy to relay to the IT people. I will be contacting them today.
That is not why I’m emailing the board. I would like to make a suggestion that I had setup on my website that I would like to see put together in a MOC project. Long ago I realized that part of the problem is when people attending training for their CPLs they receive false info about open carry. I created method for people to submit instructor information on the website together with the submitters info and what took place. It was routed via (email) to the regional coordinator that handles that specific territory as a To Do item to reach out to the trainer and try an follow up with some open carry training with that trainer.
It seems to be a common enough recurring problem to also take proactive measures. By proactive I mean pulling up lists of all the CPL instructors in the state and come up with an action plan in order to make sure they are trained on open carry. This would be a large effort but I feel that if it were done correctly would bring open carry information to the largest number of people imaginable. I feel that if the CPL instructors were fully informed even if they were anti-OC they could address it correctly and properly with the people they’re training. I do doubt that many would actually lie to their trainees rather than at least informing them about it correctly. I feel also that this would bring out much more pro OC training discussions in training classes.
PS: Also see my thread about a MOC billboard. This is something OCDO has done in the past and I bet had a large impact on incoming new members..
Please let me know your thoughts. I will continue to try and throw info out there to help MOC. I do want to support MOC the best that I can. Please let me know if there is anything I could do to help out further.
Thanks,
mikestilly
