I hope this is a joke...
People spend their time volunteering for open carry not because they are in it for some reward, but because they believe in the cause.
Many of us have spent lots of our personal money on legal fees and other costs to support the open carry cause so that others can have an easier time in the future. Not to mention the countless man hours that have gone into coordinating events, working with LEOs, on and on...
I think the fact that any of us are on this forum and running events shows that we all deserve a nice meal bought for us. But we're not in it for free food...
yea it is a joke. you guys open carry because you guys want to. i do it because i HAVE to, for my own safety. i'd much prefer CCW if this dumb county allows it without paying up the butt for it with classes and $$$.
UOC efforts work best this way:
UOC by yourself daily. don't be scared to do it yourself. if you get harassed and so on, get a lawyer and sue them. several hits to the police department wallet will learn them good. that's what i do and that's what my gf does.
thanks to the letters sent out to many orange county pd, i haven't gotten harassed since then. I stood on the side of the street with my gun holstered. two santa ana police cops drove by, slowed down to glance at my gun and smiled then drove away.
went to DSW in orange, gas stations, walmart, supermarkets, etc.... 60% sheep didn't even see my gun. the 40% that did stared at it and walked away from me. store employees had no problems. saw orange pd drove by but they probably didn't notice. saw a few customers pick up the phone and called 911 to report "guy with a gun". no cops showed up... so far so good! 1 out of 100 people make a comment about the gun like "you are allowed to carry gun in holster, right?"
. the letter notifies the police departments to stop harassing and have guns pointed in our face as part of an e-check. if it happens again, we have already set grounds for a lawsuit.
