I think everyone who is upset needs to realize that we're attempting to operate an organization where our image plays a big role in our success.
The changes are not proposed "just because" of a potential lawsuit. That is one example of how an individual not associated with the Michigan group who chose to show up at an event carrying a long gun resulted in a judge ruling against them for an otherwise handgun only open carry walk. It's an example of how a third party can harm us.
Some of you are implying that membership will be "hurt" by redefining the image and scope of these forums because you are presuming that what we're attempting to curtail is the preference of the majority. The stark reality is that a number of people tell us they won't become engaged in the forums community because of the things that are taking place here and the direction these forums have gone in.
Our focus is on being a welcoming community to new shooters and new recruits in an effort to grow the organization. We realize some people may not like the changes but we believe they are in the best interests of the organization.
Finally, to those of you who said you'll get involved if we get sued, why would it take that to get you involved in doing something productive for the cause? These decisions and this organization operate because of a dedicated team of people who come from various backgrounds to work together for the goals and causes of the organization.
Cruiser: You can absolutely talk about your computer problems. Go to the Kirchner Korner. Nothing has changed there.
....So I see that the people you talk to say they will not get envolved in OFCC because of the way it is going. They are more important then payed members ? They influence your actions more then the members that are now envolved in OFCC...I'm trying to uderstand your thinking, but I can't.
