Re: Ohio Carry First Annual Picnic & Gun Raffle!
For what it's worth, there is a locked thread on OpenCarry.org (OCDO) where Grapeshot, one of the founders and moderators of OCDO (also a director of the well-known VCDL) visited the OFCC forums whilst some folks on OCDO were "talkin' trash" about OFCC and our attitudes toward open carry. His conclusions:
Official ruling, called decision - no determined organizational bias against OC by OFCC known.
I think we have more solidarity with the open carry advocates than some people think.Just took some time to look around OFCC's "Ohio Open Carry Discussions" and I can tell you I saw nothing there egregious or screeching against OC.
Some die hards are concerned about the negative public impact, but that you'll find anywhere. They do have OC practitioners and they schedule events where OC is the order of the day to make the point that good guys carry guns too. All in all, they are very much like the posters here - they want to keep themselves and their loved ones safe AND advance the cause of our RKBA.
I find no evidence of a concerted effort to suppress OC or limit the discussion thereof. I like the site and wish them well.

Way back when, OFCC used Open Carry events to bring attention to our cause and to drum up support for Concealed Carry Licensing,
and without those events, I probably wouldn't have ever gotten involved in the activism I do.
Heck, I met most of my friends on this forum at OC events that were publicized right here in the Open Carry sub forum, including Carmen.
I wrote this summary of my first full year with the Open Carry crowd of OFCC three years ago, and the it's only gotten better since then

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
