I would imagine that most of the "activity" waned as authorities got less reactive over people exercising their civil rights. For example, I OCed all day today with my wife and got no reaction out of anyone anywhere, including having lunch with my son and daughter-in-law at the Ironwood Bar & Grill in Indiana, Pa.

Ill be moving to Washington in two months! There is a really nice gun store just around the corner from where I'll be living too.

So my point is... that the PA forum will get one more poster!

To bad there aren't near as many people on this forum as there are on the MI forum. :cry:

The only things Pafoa are good for now are learning the laws and statutes pertaining to guns, hunting, and carry laws. Otherwise, the place is a clusterf*ck of ignorant hillbillies, racist f*ckheads, and douchebags moderators. A few of my friends still log on there, but don't post much these days. I keep up with them on Facebook.

As far as activity waning, the other reason for that, besides LEOs finally accepting open carry as legal (thought the ones in NEPA still are having trouble accepting that), is the damn weather. As any local will tell you, winter here lasts from October to May, though this year has been a mild one. Open carry isn't as easy to do during the winter. In other words, you really have to go out of your way to open carry. I conceal, simply because my coat cover me from neck to nuts. I'm not about to start wearing a tactical thigh holster just for the sake of open carry. I'm also not about to wear a short, light jacket and freeze my @$$ off, just so I can open carry with my normal holsters.

Given bashing other groups is against the rules, you should leave out parts you can't complain about without any true experience stories.

In regards to PAFOA, I've been victim of the "ignorant hillbillies" and "douchebag moderators" firsthand.

During my time at PAFOA, I was displayed images of gay sex in order to mock my own sexuality. The type of behavior displayed is completely unacceptable under normal social circumstances and gone on even though the site owners( doug and danp ) both seen what was happening. They allow homophobia to run rampant on the site, without regulation, and was ultimately banned for "bringing sh*t to the door"(not being straight).

I've been asked why haven't others been targetted for not being straight or a furry. Other people are not as outspoken as I am, and if you think there are then you should have a conversation with me via chat. I'm one of the most outspoken people on this board as well, as I'm one who loves talking, who loves business, and loves work.

I don't have to post any of my own personal experiences, all one has to do is pick a thread and read up on all the racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, and just plain ignorant posts available. I have plenty of personal stories, but I'm not going to bother discussing them.
