We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. 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.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Rabid, contemptuous and abusive persons who portray themselves as CCers and jump at every opportunity to malign and denigrate OCers just for the fact that they OC, leads me to believe that they are wolves in sheepdog clothing.
I’m not talking to CCers who oppose OC for tactical or personal...
Open Carry vs Concealed Carry
I prefer to Open Carry because EVERY study shows that criminals will avoid armed persons. I also Open Carry because it often generates positive constructive discussions wherever I go, which advances our mission to promote our 2nd Amendment rights and naturalize...
Paul Panther, Deputy Attorney General and Chief of the Criminal Law Division will be speaking to us at our October 24th dinner about the AG’s efforts at obtaining reciprocity agreements from other states. This will be another good one, so mark your calendars and bring your friends. It will be...
At our next Idaho Carry dinner on September 26th at Fuddruckers at 3421 Eagle Road in Meridian at 6:30pm, I will be presenting my argument as to why I believe Open Carry is preferable to Concealed Carry. Atty. Ryan Jenks will then present his reasons for Concealed Carry being preferable to Open...

Representative Judy Boyle said that, rather than holding a rally next Friday on February 8th, our 2nd Amendment efforts should be directed to meeting our senators and representative on each gun related issue that goes to committee hearings this week and next, before they are voted on.
If you do...
Our next Idaho Carry dinner will be on Thursday, January 24th at 7pm at the Black Bear Diner in Boise. Get there early to eat so we don’t have waiters running in and out during our presentation. The seating only allows 50 inside the room but during our presentation, there will be plenty of...
On this July 4th, 2012, it is fitting that we affirm our own Declaration of Independence in the State of Idaho, independence from unconstitutional mandates handed down by Idaho government officials.
Since founding Idaho Open Carry in November 2011, we have uncovered regulations not supported by...

Anti-OC’ers and the Brady Campaign are successfully defeating Open Carry and the 2nd Amendment. Despite the evidence that every argument they have ever offered has been destroyed by facts and statistics, the misinformation advanced by anti-OC’ers and the anti-gun left has led to their success in...

I’ve been reading many posts on various Carry sites suggesting that OC’ers and CC’ers boycott Costco, and other major companies, for not allowing any form of Carry on their premises. There is a better way.
Costco does not post a “No Weapons” sign because they don’t want to offend those who...

We had to wait until after our Valentine’s dinner at Angell’s, but we made it to three more Starbucks (total of 7 today) and had a great reception at each. Most didn’t know that you could wear a gun on your hip without a license, so today was also very educational for them. At the 6th store, the...
We had to wait until after our Valentine’s dinner at Angell’s, but we made it to three more Starbucks (total of 7 today) and had a great reception at each as I gave them a $2 bill and our Idaho Open Carry card. Most didn’t know that you could wear a gun on your hip without a license, so today...
When I man our Idaho Open Carry booth at various shows, I find myself debating many CC'ers who oppose OC. Their most common response is, "It makes people feel uncomfortable."
My answer to them is, "How do you know?" The truth of the matter is that "THEY" feel uncomfortable with OC. They are...
What is Open Carry - Really
It is the beautiful bold face of the 2nd Amendment
It is the American flag to America's enemies
It is the ultimate symbol of American freedom
It is Ronald Reagan's "Tear down this wall!"
It is "in your face" to anti-gun left
It is George Washington to the British
It...
