[QUOTE="druryj, post: 1397915, member: 10465"] While I agree with your post above; and do understand the irrelevant wording of the survey in reference to the proposed legislation, I do not think it is in our best interests to post, especially in a public forum, such activities as "voting more than once" on any survey or other such instrument whether it was meant for the public or not. I think that may have been meant in a humorous tone by some here, however, it [I]could [/I]possibly be taken in a negative light by those who oppose our right to carry legally. Can you imagine if this were to hit the press? "OSA Members Vote More Than Once on Concealed Weapons Survey" Ouch! I think the public damage that such adverse media coverage could cause would only work against us. I am just saying we should prudent in our public actions and what we say so as to not bring any unnecessary negativity to our side of the table. A reasonable course of action, in my opinion, is for us to all write our legislators and urge them to support the cause. I did. Did all of you? We can perhaps advance our rights a lot better by doing that than through frivolity and saying how we "voted more than once" on an irelevant survey. Don't know who to write? I bet we can get that information posted if anyone is interested...perhaps by the student group themselves who are advocating the right to legally carry on college campuses in Oklahoma. Let's do this right folks. [/QUOTE]
