[QUOTE="okiebryan, post: 2004439, member: 24457"] Not sure. Hrdware handles memberships. Probably fewer than 100 have paid memberships. I can tell you that every time we have a get together or meeting in different parts of the State, between one and two dozen participate. I can tell you that we have almost 1900 people on our FB page. Honestly, we haven't been pushing memberships. We do things and people comment and participate. When people have experiences with OC, we discuss what was good and what could have gone better as appropriate. Mostly, we answer questions. We compare notes with more experienced open carriers in other states on our forum. We advocate for respectful dialogue with those who don't get it. We learn which businesses we are assured to not be hassled, and we reward those businesses with more business. Personally, I'm buying more diesel from Loves than I ever have because of their policy on lawful carry in their stores. I'm starting to realize that you are only seeing one small part of what we are doing, and that may color your perception. We aren't sitting around all day harassing store managers. [/QUOTE]
