Do we really know anybody? I mean we've met in person but as stories about cultivated government agent provocateurs arise one could end up with an unplanned visit from the G for talking to loosely.

This is true.

And pretty sad that we have to accept visits from the thought police as a real possibility.

But, hey, if you're not doing anything wrong, what are you worried about?

A simple conversation about MGs could be twisted into conspiracy to manufacture them. Of course, they really don't want you, just wear this wire...

"Might?"

Why not take a position on what S357 said?

What's your considered opinion about that, D_Weezy?

Or do you prefer to not express it?
He had a good point, we do have freedom of speech. The Police on that site should not have started talking about having the Fed's shut down this site. On the other hand, he has some really radical views. Some of the things that those Officers said were just as ignorant to me, as some of the things that he said. Like the thing that I quoted from the Officer about:

"Perhaps Karma will come around and the author of that post will see the front end of a DUI coming thru his window. Defend that"

I believe that was uncalled for. Are they not supposed to be better than that. I am just saying, maybe they should weed their own garden before they start worrying about someone elses. None of this really matters now though, because he has been banned.

Nah, I meant what smoking 357 said:

It's time, people.

Know the three rules:

1. Police are an army whose enemy is the People.

2. Police are the greatest enemy America has ever faced.

3. America would be better off without the police.

When we see a car pulled over, we need to realize that there is a citizen at risk. We need to start defending each other.

It's time we all remembered what open carry is all about
,
and it ain't protection against burglars.

It's time.

For those of you lurking on this thread from officer.com, I'd like to take this moment to inform you a bit more about "niTROLLvic", why he hasissues with OCDO, and why he now uses officer.com to foster anti open carry sentiment among sworn officers.

1: Nitrovic joined OCDO under the guise of an EXsworn LEO friendly to open carry.

2: Nitrovic played nice for a few weeks on OCDO and then decided to antagonize anyone who disagreed with the absolute authority of a LEO to stop someone minus probable cause. He then accused several forum members who had had a recent uncomfortable run-in with Manassas VA police of being liars, basing his statements on "some friends" familiar with the incident.

3: As you can imagine, this authoritarian concept held by nitrovic caused problems among the membership at OCDO. We want to be left alone as long as we are not breaking any laws. If open carry is legal then cops should not be molesting us on the streets absent PC.

4: Nitrovic subsequently went back and edited his posts or outright deleted the offensive ones after he startedhis @#$%storms.

5: Because of all the problems Nitrovic was causing, a forum moderator googled his username, "nitrovic". I hardly call performing a simple google search "E-Stalking" as nitrovic has described it on officer.com

6: The google search revealed:

a: Nitrovic's real name.

b: Nitrovic's personal email address.

c: The fact that he is a current, not EX LEO. (he likes to lie)

d: Subsequent googling using his personal email name as a search term turned up two interesting facts: on two different forums he is giving directions to known drug buy areas that are within his LEO jusridiction (patrol area) and admitting that he himself has bought drugs at those locations.

7: The forum moderator who did the google searches also saved all the inflammatory posts made by nitrovic here on OCDObeforenitrovicedited/ deleted them. The postsserved no purpose but to foster bad relations between cops and open carriers.

8: Nitrovic has taken it upon himself to post two derogatory comments on two of my Youtube videos degrading those who open carry. Nitrovic talks a good game about not being "anti-open carry" or not being anti "citizens with gun". But his own words show he hates citizen open carry and thinks we are all "wanabe cop security guard cry babies". See http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/view_topic.php?id=27020&forum_id=54 for an example of one of them.

9: Now, nitrovic has taken roost on officer.com, a place where only LEO's are allowed to post and he can say anything he wants and nobody from OCDO will be there to contradict him. How convenient! How many times will nitrovic post a "OCDO is anti-cop" thread on officer.com before you guys figure out his motives?

10: It is my opinion that this is all the result of Nitrovic not liking open carry, being personally close to the Manassas officers who recieved a reprimand for abusive, unprofessional behavior during the Tony's 7 incident in Manassas, and because someone was able to google-fu his personal info with such ease that a 5th grader could do it.

11: So, officer.com lurkers... believe what you will. On one hand you have one officer.com forum member, nitrovic who claims we (OCDO) are all anti-cop. He would like nothing more than to see relations between cops and OC'ers go sour. He'd love to see each and every one of you officers prone an OC'er out on the pavement every time you meet one of us. On the other hand you have OCDO, a group of liberty and freedom minded individuals who just want to be left the eff alone and not detained for law-abiding conduct. This isn't about "baiting" police, it's about being able to conduct your affairs without being molested by cops for legal activity.

12: While your officer.com forum does not welcome "us" to join and comment, if you the officer.com "lurker" desires to join the discussion here we welcome you and do not discriminate.

By the way, if one of you officer.com lurkers wants to repost my comments over on your forum, feel free but I'm not looking to start a flamewar debate between two forums that should be working together instead of talking smack on each other.

Incorrect. Anybody can sign up on officer.com and participate.

You can even pretend to be a cop and post in the "officer only" section. There is no verification process on officer.com , not that it matters of course. I can tell you firsthand the verification processes on other cop forums are easily defeated. :D

Ya know, speaking of Google, anybody can determine where this guy works just by reading this subject. He shouldn't really post this stuff in public, IMHO!

Thanks, I knew that (based on Huffman having an acct there) but I was trying to play dumb. I don't desire to be "that guy" who registers on the opposing forum just to start a flame war between the two. In fact, the only person who really wants to see this discussion continue is niTROLLvic, who's missionis to drive a wedge between good LEO's and OC'ers.

Agreed. You shouldn't post things like that. Or this:

after reading the officer.com thread in the OP, I must point out something.

There may be certain people on this site that give OCers a bad name, but reading that thread I certainly saw some bad examples of LEOs. I won't judge all LEOs by the actions of a certain few, you all shouldn't judge all OCers by the actions of a certain few either.

We're all on the same side here, we all respect the law and despise criminals, and want to protect ourselves from said criminals. We (the majority of OCers) don't do it for attention, to look cool, or because we're wannabe LEOs or security guards (we're not). We do it because it offers certain advantages (just as CCW does in other ways) and in some cases, is the only legal way to be armed.

I've not had many actual interactions with LEOs while OCing, most see that I'm carrying, and do nothing more. These officers range from police and sheriff deputies from a few local counties, state police, and even local university police (off campus but within their jurisdiction). The ones that did do something (two from county police) only came over to see if I was from OCDO, as he had met another OCer from the site a few years prior. The two officers were very professional and at no time did I feel uncomfortable or threatened. Ended up having a nice conversation about how knowledge of OC has come along over the years and if there have been any more "incidents".

I checked the thread just now for the latest replies in the last page. I see somebody mentioned people wearing cop t-shirts and hats so as to take on the appearance of being a cop. I have to agree with this. I know a building and grounds security guard in DC that would not be caught dead in public without a police orientated t-shirt or hat on in public. He wants so badly for people to think he's a real crime fighting balls to the wall cop. And he openly carries a firearm everywhere he goes off duty. And the funny thing about it, I bet Nitrovic knows who I am talking aboutsince he used to hang on Crown Victoria forums a few years back.

So, having said the above, do we have any member here on OC who wears a police orientated t-shirt or hat while openly carrying a firearm? Please tell me it ain't so. :D

edited for typo: typed t-shirt wrong and it got censored!!!! :lol:

I lurk on officer.com forums to see general attitudes. There are some really good police officers on that site, and then there are some real morons. It's those morons that help foster the us v. them mentality. The problem that they don't see is that they are public SERVANTS, not public overseers. To read some cali cops plain statement that anyone they see open carrying is someone they prone out, who cares no law is being broken, well it just puts them all to shame until that officer is straightened out by their brothers and sisters in blue.

you gotta give respect to get respect. wearing a badge doesn't give you automatic respect.

He is sworn and can carry in DC. I guess I should have said "glorified buildings and grounds security guard".He lives and plays in Maryland. So I guess he can wear as much cop orientated clothing as he likes there while openly carrying.

We have members at OCDO that also energetically espouse the us v. them mentality...just as there are at most gun/2A forums...

Pity. Makes it hard to have a meeting of minds. Even, obviously, when it would do both sides some good.
