We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
It is with deep sadness that I bring the OCDO community news of Mike Borders passing. Also known on the MGO forums as mikeb32, he was current President and Membership Chairman of Michigan Gun Owners, and was a member of Michigan Open Carry.

His family has set up a...
After reading some more on the case from articles in the Madison Courier (they even have links to all the past related articles at the bottom, very cool) and then reading Fallschirmjager's great post I think Big Shot might be in for a bigger fight than they think, NRA not withstanding.
I'm not...

Some idiots have way too much money. This one decides to destroy some watermelons by shooting a 20mm round through the open windows of his Lamborghini Huracan. As much as he spazzes out about reporting it to the insurance if something goes wrong, it's too bad he didn't hit the car...
This is a great Stossel vid about how gun owners are treated in NYC.

5:00 mark is the best. Stossel to the NYC Prosecutor: "You're a sadistic bully locking these people up. These aren't threats."

Well, so much for safer "smart guns." Not only was he able to operate it without the "authorizing" watch by using magnets, but he also was able to build a jamming device that rendered the gun useless even when the watch was worn.

A federal judge in Sacramento has issued an injunction blocking the new law from taking effect and turning thousands of law abiding gun owners into criminals literally overnight.

Well, nice to the see the NY legislature at it again. This time, they want to ban the sale or transfer of any firearm that doesn't have the "childproofing" measure of a minimum 10 lb trigger pull. The only thing this will do is drive up...

Considering how far reaching the definition of a gun free school zone is, I can't see how it would be legal for anyone in Louisiana to carry a gun anywhere.
Can't even have lunch at a cafe without the BS of gangs running amok. How's that gun control working out?

I'm sorry, but I seemed to have missed the memo where this became a priority for anyone that carries. Also, I find Ana Lopez's comment at the 1:50 mark of the trailer to be hilarious in the face...
