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.

"...to carry and get used to it and get those in my area used to it for starters." -- rightwinglibertarian,
Good for you!
We need LOTS MORE PEOPLE out there OC-ing so we have lots more D&E* going on! That can't be accomplished by CC-ers as no one SEES them carrying. Of course, CC-ers LIKE it that way, but the downside is because no one notices, there's no D&E. And no conversations about carrying, the 2nd Amendment/RKBA, state laws on carrying (and so on) ever get started, either.
I think OC-ers get the Big Picture of all this much better than CC-ers, who tend to be very narrowly-focused ("introverted" if you will) -- and don't get OC at all. So we need to let them know WHY we do it (a good number of reasons, 2 of which are D&E). If you know any CC-ers, try to educate them so at the very worst they'll be neutral about it, rather than hostile to it as many (if not most) CC-ers are. We don't need THAT working against us!
OC-ing helps us ALL out there, even CC-ers...whether they realize it or not.
*D&E = Densitizing & Educating
