i want to know the location only so i can go there and OC to see if i am subject to the same LEO attention. in about a half dozen times i went to locations where previous OCers have been stopped or had problems and i OC i have not had any problems at all. this makes me think that it's the individual and maybe not OC or maybe i'm not a threatening person when i OC.
as far as the commentary i have received negative commentary on some encounters i have reported but i took it as constructive criticsm. it's easy to keyboard quarterback after the fact and you can only think so fast during an encounter. you make mistakes. reporting an encounter in here is like standing in front of American Idol judges but i have learned so much on here and my next OC encounter i am hugely prepared as a result. you may notice the negative LEO encounters are drying up. LEO know it's legal and OCers are legally knowledgeable. they can try but it's all bluff and show.
it doesnt matter what forum you are on - could be quilting or cars or whatever..there will ALWAYS be negative people who love nothing more than to be needlessly critical only for the purpose of impressing people with their "knowledge". get used to it. i have.
i don't fear the barking dog...i'm scared of the quiet dog

I am officially Hijacking this tread.  It shall now become an auction site.  Do I hear $1.98 for Onnie's address?  Anyways, in all seriousness, I am sorry you got distraught over something somone said or PM'd you with.  I thought all the comments were in a positive light myself.  If you don't wanna give out your location, that's fine by me too.  BTW, I live in Lake Linden, but don't tell no one.

I understand why you guys want to know were this guy lives but to be so invasive on a persons privacy is exactly what our 5th amendment is against. pressuring a person to give information that they are not comfortable with is wrong and you are acting just like the LOE's who push there boundaries. I am from Pentwater Michigan and have no qualms telling any one that, but some may be more closed to giving there location. Do not come down on this guy. This behavior is the way to give MOC a bad name, as if it needs any more bad press with our liberal media.

Where is there an application of the 5th Amendment here? We aren't the government interrogating this guy. And if it was applicable, the moment he started to talk, he would be waiving his right to remain silent.

And it is preposterous to claim that there is an "invasion of privacy" as it applies to making PUBLIC statements on a PUBLICLY accessible forum.

The whole purpose of posting "open carry encounters" is to inform and enlighten others as to when, where, and how these encounters are encountered.

If you want that high of a degree of privacy, don't want to receive feedback comments, or if you're just that paranoid, don't post on the internet.

Since this was brought back up 2+mos after the last post.
I was Open Carrying once someplace and something happened. Then someone came and said something to me so I may or may not have said something back. Then other things may or may not have happened. But the best part was I may or may not have left happy.

All in all in may or may not have been a good or bad experience.

Oh, should I have just started a new topic????

What a coinkydink, something almost happened to me, too. I gotta remember to be careful when I go to someplace. :o

Note to everybody, be careful when you go to someplace! Somebody may or may not do or say something. It might be a LEO, or not, and he/she may draw down on you for OCing, or not.

Scary times, my friends, scary times.... ::)

A guy who has been registered almost a year and his second post is a necro-post because he didn't like some questions someone was asked?

I agree.   If the OP doesn't want to disclose his location that is his choice and I respect his decision. Badgering, mocking and pounding on him won't change his mind and will only serve to chase him away from the forum.

Now you are piling on by mocking someone that supported the OP. 

Wow!  This is the kind of forum that I want to share my personal experiences.  I just love getting kicked around by a bunch of strangers.    Sigh.

Pond Scum, its really not that serious if you understand a little bit of sarcasm, which you will find on any forum that you might happen to visit.  The whole issue was started because other posters wanted to know where the OP was from in case it was in or near the area in which they live.  For these forums you can simply list the city that you live in, there's no personal information thats going to be revealed to the public.  However it lets others who may live in or near the area know what is going on in the event they might be facing the same problem.  the person who posted a few posts ago and brought this thread back to life went a little overboard with his response and there was some slight sarcasm, no one was trolling or kicking anyone around.  True everyone has the right to not post their location and we wont force you to either, but it is helpful when detailing an event to either have your location listed or to mention it so others know where they might run into a problem so they can be prepared if necessary, is that too much to ask?  As for the others, they dont mean any harm...they just dont know any better  ;)
