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.
"Hey, your hammer's cocked back."
I got this comment once before when carrying one of my 1911s. The person I dealt with walked humbly away with knowledge, after a short conversation I had with them.
This time my wife received the comment:
We were at the Dairy Queen in Hartwell, GA with our...
I had to drop a friend off at the Atlanta Airport today. He's in the Navy and was visiting on leave. The drive from Simpsonville, SC to the Atlanta Airport sucks when you know you've had no sleep the night before and you're going to work a 12 hour shift later on the same day.
Anyway, we made it...
A while ago, I created a pamphlet for spreading the word about how South Carolina can get permitless carry and restaurant carry, but never had a chance to share it with anyone. In parts of the pamphlet there are comparisons between South Carolina's gun laws and other states' gun laws. I just...
Below is a link to a pamphlet, in PDF format, concerning the minimum legal age to purchase, posses, and carry firearms in the United States. When printed out and folded correctly, it's a two-sided tri-fold pamphlet. Right now it's basically my first rough draft...
How ironic, indeed...

This is horrible reporting. I can't tell by the context of the article if one of the handguns was concealed and the other was carried openly or not. I hope this wasn't anyone on here.

Freedom Watch was the only reason I watched Fox Business. I hope the Judge gets on with another network. He was a strong supporter in the right to bear arms, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS, unlike some of the other Fox commentators.

When a discussion of H.3292 is started, there is always a person that asks if the bill will legalize open carry in SC. From my research, the answer is yes, but not in all cities or counties.
We have all seen where H.3292 does not restrict carrying a firearm openly if the firearm is not being...
I'm curious to see if there any active OCDO members that have moved to NH because of the Free State Project. Specifically, I want to hear about the experiences of how open carry compares/compared in NH to the participants home state. Maybe even post some other relevant stories about the liberty...
I never touched "the stuff", and neither has my wife. I've heard it's best to be with someone who is "experienced" for your first time. I imagine if my wife and I did "the stuff" for our first time, together, we would end up like this cop and his wife, LOL...
Sorry if someone already posted this, but this is ridiculous:
"Gun owners who carry concealed weapons or have confronted another person with a gun are more than twice as likely to drink heavily as people who do not own guns, according to a study by UC Davis researchers. Binge drinking, chronic...
"Two University of California-Davis police officers have been placed on administrative leave after using pepper spray on Occupy Wall Street demonstrators on the campus on Friday, the Los Angeles Times reports."...
Post any interesting experiences you had while open carrying here in South Carolina.
Here is the statute that includes the exceptions for where/when a person can carry a handgun:
SECTION 16-23-20. Unlawful carrying of handgun; exceptions.
It is unlawful for anyone to carry about the person...
I created a gun laws pamphlet for West Virginia. It's in the same format as the Virginia and North Carolina pamphlets.
Here's the link to the to the pamphlet, in PDF file format (updated 8/23/2012):

I took the time to update the Virginia Gun Rights folding pamphlet that has been floating around here. I believe the last version was updated by Dreamer sometime last year. A few different things passed through legislature since then.
I reversed engineered the last updated file from PDF format...
The wife and I are in another OC discussion/debate on another one of our firearm forums. The great OC myths seem to be plentyful and we are trying to educate and spread information to the other forum members in a non-bias way. It's a little hard on us noobs, and I would like to see if anyone can...
I decided to start creating some informational material about Constitutional Carry and Restaurant carry for SC. I created a tri-fold Pamphlet as a rough draft for getting information out help get people off their butts, or the fence, and starting fighting for their rights.
I tried to stay...
