Huh.
A small portion of a company's customer base figured out to use company non-policy to troll another portion of their customer base, and the company issued a request that people not troll.
Given that some people here only understand internet forum speak - What do you think is going to happen when the request that people not troll is pushed?
While I'm firmly of the opinion that OC should be legal and not a big deal, for some reason people insist on making a big deal out of it without addressing the neutral and non-gunowner ignorance of the situation, or the discomfort they get not necessarily from the guns but from the conflict.
You want to be able to OC? Great. If you live in MA, you live in a state where people literally wet their pants at the thought that guns exist. And we're still failing to have more than a barely passable showing at the State House, people are bitching and moaning about the amount of time it takes, and people that refuse to be publicly "out" about the fact that they own guns.
If you're bitching and moaning about this and you think that OCing and then verbally abusing anyone who's made uncomfortable is the solution, you're part of the problem.
If you're bitching and moaning about this and you refuse to put a GOAL, NRA, or S&W sticker on your car, wear a Sig or GLOCK hat, or utter the word "gun" at work for fear that you might be targeted, you're part of the problem.
If you're not actively working to bring new shooters into the sport, to educate children as to firearms safety, or to assist people in obtaining licensing in this state, you're part of the problem.
I'd say that if you're actively fleeing you're part of the problem, but I've seen too many people put too much time in ACTUALLY contributing, burn out, and then move...So I'll say if you're fleeing before you've even begun to help you're part of the problem.
Why is it that some portions of this country keep seeing popular support and legal wins for firearms rights while we fail miserably here? The population. Anger them instead of persuading, and you're going to lose. People need to learn how to pick their battles, and then nut up and fight the ones that need to be fought while delaying the ones that need to be pushed off. Or we're going to see more of this from other companies, culminating with companies outright banning firearms.
