LOCAL on Facebook

I started a Facebook page for LOCAL last year. It's grown to over 200 "Likes". That's 200 people who know of us, know our message and who can receive our announcements. Today we have 210 "Likes".


I "Liked" several progun groups' Facebook pages as well. For instance, the La Sportsman Facebook page.
This allows me to post our annoucements to their pages.


I also "Liked" several news organizations and can make comments on news announcements such as this one on the Facebook page for the Baton rouge Advocate newspaper.


There's also the WBRZ Facebook page.


Short, concise posts such as "Be Safe and know your rights" are basically what you will see under the LOCAL FB comments.
Thousands of people from all walks of life subscribe to these different Facebook pages. When reading the comments they see our name and can click on it to go to our page and learn more about LOCAL.

There are all sorts of ways to spread the word about Open Carry. Think what you can do. Help spread the word.

LOCAL Facebook Page near 300 LIKEs

A many of you know I put up a Facebook page for LOCAL and have been keeping it active. I've posted meeting announcements as well as training announcements from various friends of LOCAL. I've posted comments in news stories and have generally been using this social media outlet to tell others about us.
As I type this our LOCAL Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Louisiana-Open-Carry-Awareness-League-LOCAL/124751677535026
has 294 LIKEs.
That's 294 people who have learned that we exist, heard about our Mission Statement, who know we are meeting and growing and 294 people who can help spread our message.
That is a small group of people in the whole scheme of things but it is a step forward. We are getting our word out via our mailouts, our internet posts, our trifold drops at guns shows and other venues and also our Facebook page.
If you have a Facebook account I urge you to go to the LOCAL Facebook page and LIKE it if you haven't already done so. There you will see that I have posted regularly to the wall and it is a very good way to keep up with LOCAL and gun related news in general.
We are very close to getting our 300th Facebook LIKE. Who knows, it may be you.

We just hit 300. Whoot!
