Re: Is Open Carry Activism Threatening our CHL rights.

Check this link out. We're getting even more press - and it is the bad kind. There's a comment by "Patrick" towards the bottom of the comments following the article that has some good things to say about what to do with these clowns, but I don't know how we'd get the ideas out far and wide:

In part, he says:
My question to the people of Texas: why are the OCT leaders (and those who damage our cause) allowed into any gun range or gun shop in the state?

Seriously, we need to police this. I will say that no reputable range in Maryland would rightly serve someone who hurt our cause so brazenly and unrepentantly. We got a ban hammer, and we use it. The largest ranges in Maryland would not accept these people, and to this day the few shops and ranges who complied with a “request” from the state police to get names of people buying ammo are on a blacklist and will never come off until they repent.

So to the people of Texas, I suggest you start taking names and calling ranges, shops and clubs. Tell them, “I will not patronize any business that harms my interests, and serving OCT drama-queens harms my interests.”

From what I've gathered, we want it basically to relieve some of the worrying about accidentally exposing our concealment. Just a thought and I'm not sure if this has already been done, but maybe we should explain to our reps our reasoning for OC and that our intentions are not to go around "frightening" the public but to allow us a little more leeway with how we carry.
I'm sure that's what's been done in the past (done it myself) and what we'll do when we get a Call to Action next session, but our calm, reasoned responses will be drowned out by the frantic calls of those who are upset by the images of the OCT clowns parading around through Home Depot, Chipotle, and now Target.
