I'm sorry that I didn't give a reply until now, been busy lately.
Pridefest when well, I OC'd with no problems, and ran out of my two stacks of 100 fliers within an hour. Had more conversations about OC and guns in general than I could remember, and compared guns and had gun-talk with several ... attractive twinks, hehe. One such cutie was wearing a full-body fishnet with a very tight thong that had me panting the entire time that we talked about our EDC. He pulled out a small 4-rnd .380 semi from his fanny pack, and we talked about his obsession with small rugers, and my obsession with large-frame hi-points, and other inexpensive models.
Had two contacts with police, but, umm... they was less about my gun, and more about my ... well, that's neither here nor there. Pride was fun, and it was 'fun' if you catch my drift, suffice it to say, I've found out that [at least those two] cops can do more than what's in their job descriptions, and they can do it well!
I'm glad you had a good day/evening in L-ville Gutshot, and I agree with you fully. I am guilty of doing much the same that contributes to the in-fighting within the OC, and gun-owner community at-large. I've put more effort, and time into LGBT rights/actions, than I've every thought about putting into OC/2A movements/actions; I think for me personally, it's complacency. I have a secured right to own, and carry firearms at-will, so I don't think, or have any sub-conscious will to do much of anything in the form of protesting, or communal work in the name of gun rights; However, I don't have the secured right to marry a same-sex lover, I don't have a secured right to be free from discrimination in a hospital, or work-place, due to my sexuality, and I don't have a secured right to live as an openly gay man in a southern bible-belt state without the fear of being harassed, or the subject of violence, because of my sexuality and/or lifestyle. So naturally, I'll put much more effort and money, into securing those things that I don't already have.
The Gun community, despite it's ... opposition, for the most part by its majority members, could learn a great deal from the Gay Community, and movements/causes. Heck, nearly every LGBT, and LGBT-Friendly community, cause, and movement in and of itself alongside, or separate from the LGBT rights movement, has a wealth of experience, and knowledge that the gun community could glean from and use for its own ends. Ever met someone who was/is apart of the active BDSM community? Think the gun community has it bad? the BDSM people have it worse, because they live their lives and sex-lives at-odds with moralist and Politically Correct laws on the books.
