Message: <blockquote data-quote="SMS" data-source="post: 2005618" data-attributes="member: 42">Like I told Okiebryan, Thanks for whatever it is you do.  I can definately sympathize with the difficulty of getting folks to go from clicking "Like" on a FB page to making a serious commitment to a cause, but making soft comparisons between those of us who haven't financially supported OKOCA and illegal aliens, really?  That kind of high-horse "we're fighting for you, yet you shun us" attitude is off-putting and will likely drive more people away than it attracts.  It can also serve to distract from any actual good you maybe doing, somewhere.You did this voluntarily.  Concealed and open carry were already signed into law before your association became official (whether or not some members were active in that cause, you admittedly didn't create the assocation until after Fallin signed OC).  Nobody asked you to do it and your actual efficacy and impact is arguable. So you might quit whining about people not having any gratitude for living under the benefits and rights you have nobly bestowed upon them.None of that goes to say that you will never get my support, but as long as all I see is the badgering of store managers, media interviews putting out bad information (like OC being illegal in OK since '71, which is not the case), and tacit support for an individual who acts like an ass in a polling place days after OC passed, you will just be another fringe organization.  Okiebryan extended the invitation to meet, that's something I may do if I'm ever home long enough to catch my breath.(As individuals, I'm sure you are great folks and I have no ill will towards you personally.  I'm just voicing my impressions/opinion of the 'movement' or whatever you want to call it)</blockquote>
