I agree. With Obama coming in, and his comments about being against concealed carry, we have an uphill battle ahead of us. You can bet that the Bradyites are gearing up for a run against guns in what is their best shot in awhile. United we stand; divided we fall.

Forgive my ignorance, what is a mall ninja?

Just asking because I don't frequent malls.

Do you really think "antis" are monitoring this site that closely ???
I have stumbled upon sites where I would be ashamed to have my name, even my "road name" displayed. The last one was a survivalist site; either these guys are nuts or I am missing something.
Others border on insurgency.
Most of them offer a lot bigger caliber ammo to the antis than the "worst" posts on DCC.

And I'll join the chorus saying that the Mods do a remarkable work here; THANKS guys !!!

Now making a decision about your personal security on what you read on the Net is not a good idea IMO.

So as not to get this thread off on a tangent go see this thread:
Mall Ninja (for the newbies)

DC is an open, publicly-accessible web site. It's popular and getting to be reasonably well-known among the carry community. No reason to think that it's not one of the top dozen or so gun-related web sites that are monitored by some of the zealots, to understand the pulse of things.

Keep in mind that anti-gunners aren't a single, monolithic crowd of unthinkers, with a zealot leadership and mindless directional control ... despite seeming so at times. Most of the millions are simply fearful individuals who, like us, have opinions and predilections about the things they're passionate about. Like as not, just like us, many to most aren't even affiliated with an organized group of any kind that's related to their interest in guns.

But please, don't confuse self censoring with restriction. Its not the same thing and one has nothing to do with the other.

I'm with you on people "self censoring", being responsible in their posts or just stopping and thinking before they hit submit on a thread or post. I think some comments do, often, reflect badly on gun owners but most of the time, it just makes them look like a fool. But your concerns are well placed and it is a good reminder to all of us to try to take the high road while participating in any forum....

Several of us were talking in a restaurant that were present & past LEO's, past / present some other role in the justice system or law enforcement, and military. Yep, quite a group of us. We started talking about weird or violent cases we had seen, and how the "general public" couldn't handle the truth on how much is 'really' going on out there that they have no idea about. There is so much more than is ever reported in the newspapers, news, etc.

We all agreed, most people would move out of most even medium sized cities if they really knew all the things that go on.

If people knew, they would possibly change their minds about self-defense. But, you can't get that point across..... talking only with political correctness and being 'nice', because it's not a pretty subject.

I have heard people say " I don't want to know about any of that kind of stuff". ... because they want to bury their heads in the sand and act like it doesn't really happen in their world, and doesn't really exist. There is not much you can do for those people.....to me, the anti's are in that group.
There's reality, and those who want to act like it doesn't really exist, and they don't want to hear that it does.

This is why the anti-gunners don't need a forum like DC to quote
In reality you must deal with people ,its is easier to be anti-gun than
anti BG.
They hire cops and and as you said"bury their heads in the sand "and
can blame them(cops) when the reality of dealing with BGs turns
ugly.IE where were the cops when I needed them most?
Not to say the police don.t make mistakes, its just easier to
point the finger that a cop or a gun and say that or thy are the problem than to bare it yourself.Even if its their self defense.
