Glad to be here.

Silveressa · « **Reply #2 on:** October 29, 2011, 12:17:08 AM »

Hi yas, happy to be here, I get the feeling this place will become my new home page.

Robert Harvey · « **Reply #3 on:** October 29, 2011, 12:24:43 AM »

Great!
Check out your new status.
We need to get the word out to every one that the forum is here for us to have fun and learn.
thanks
Robert

Silveressa · « **Reply #4 on:** October 29, 2011, 12:30:26 AM »

I sent out a PM to everyone in my friends list on the USCCA forum mentioning this place so hopefully we'll get soem more members soon.

Perhaps making a topic on the USCCA forums themselves would help to? (Or do we want to promote the site openly on their forums?)

Robert Harvey · « **Reply #5 on:** October 29, 2011, 12:35:09 AM »

there was a topic where people were asking for forums to go to.
maybe we could post there.
It should be on topic, in that thread .
thanks

Well if it's one thing I like to do, it's rave about a new website...you an be sure that I will tell all my friends, both on boards, as well as in real life about Guntoters. Good name, BTW...

LEJoe · « **Reply #8 on:** October 29, 2011, 02:44:51 AM »

Thanks for the welcome. And thanks to Coastie for the tip about this place. I used to be with the USCCA.
Stay safe,

Seems like as good a replacement as any for USCCA. I do have a complaint right off the bat though. The colors chosen are terrible. I can barely see what I'm typing. Any chance of getting that changed? Black on black is what I'm getting and that's just plain tough to read.

pafindr · « **Reply #10 on:** October 29, 2011, 06:48:34 AM »

Howdy howdy howdy

Just coming over from USCCA and hoping to find some familiar names!

Beretta Dave · « **Reply #11 on:** October 29, 2011, 07:01:52 AM »

I also come from the USCCA looking for a new home. Glad to be here.

Hey, ya'all! Silveressa invited me, and I'm glad to be here!. I'm wondering if we should create a thread about our dissatisfaction with USCCA. I don't want to "bash" anyone, but I'll bet lots of us want to talk about it. Whatcha think?

Personally I think bashing them is just bad form.
There is a thread on their forum already made that is bashing them and bringing it here just makes it look like we're being petty and childlike.
Let's start fresh and create a forum that is inviting instead not petty.

Merlin40 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 29, 2011, 08:20:58 AM »

I agree, pafindr. Let's start fresh. I already feel at home, here.

Coastie · « **Reply #15 on:** October 29, 2011, 08:32:36 AM »

Glad to see other USCCA members here! This may be, well since it's free it iz better than USCCA.

Don't know if a rant topic is warranted, I'll discuss that with the other mods, but don't let that limit your general discussion of that website. I am sure, over time, that new members here, even if they aren't ex-USCCA'ers will soon come to know about that marketing plan...

Larry, no I don't like the black on black either, but am not the ITT guy - that would be Robert Harvey, the originator. However, note that I'm mentioned it as well.

I look forward to your posts, all!.

hogcowboy · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2011, 08:40:10 AM »

Looks like the word is getting out. Should turn out to be a good board.

dpenguin · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2011, 08:41:30 AM »

I'm the one familiar with the back end of the software

I have most of the colors readable now; let me know what else you need (or if one of the other admins/mods knows how, they are welcome to fix it, too).

Coastie · « **Reply #18 on:** October 29, 2011, 09:23:37 AM »

dpenquin,
Could you let the mods know how to create a "sticky" - a post which is always at the top of each main page? As someone said we should have a set of rules for the forum, other than what we each signed as we registered. Thanks.

FlashBack · « **Reply #19 on:** October 29, 2011, 10:25:35 AM »

Found the site via USCCA as well...I hope they get things figured out soon.

Looks like you got the colors quite usable now penguin. Thanks.

Synthetic · « **Reply #21 on:** October 29, 2011, 12:17:00 PM »

I like the look of the site....

dpenguin · « **Reply #22 on:** October 29, 2011, 02:16:01 PM »

Ok, for the mods

Only mods will see these options, as far as I know.

Attached is a screenshot of the bottom of a thread, once you open it.

1. This button allows you to move the topic to a different board, so that if, for example, someone posts something off-topic in CCW, it can be moved over to Everything Else.

2. This deletes the entire thread.

3. This locks the thread so it can be viewed but replies cannot be added.

4. This makes a thread sticky -- and once it IS sticky, the button in the SAME location makes it UNsticky.

5. Merging topics can be useful if there are two threads on the exact same subject; they can be merged together.

6. If you post an event, this button allows you to put the info in the calendar as well.

Hope this helps!

Looks like I'm a little late to the party! Saw the site mentioned in the "other" forums.

oldranger53 · « **Reply #31 on:** October 30, 2011, 02:11:35 PM »

Hello everyone,
I too came over from USCCA today.
It seemed like the right thing to do.

Cheers from Twin Bridges, Montana!

Glad to see familiar faces (names). Thanks for setting up this site.

I wasn't very active "over there" but enjoyed the insight and knowledge.

Replace it with a bumper sticker that says "Im the person your mother warned you about"
I had that one back in the 80s on my 69 volkswagon.

There's actually a court case where a prosecutor successful used such a bumper sticker as proof of a defensive shooters "aggressive, dangerous character, and violent moral outlook" to earn a conviction. (I'll try to find the link in a bit to post up for everyone)

Sadly once we're on the stand, every aspect of our life can and will be used against us. (Makes one think twice about those "trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again" warning signs eh? )

Here we go!

Specifically this exerpt:

Quote

The guest of honor in a capital murder trial had a bumper sticker, which read: “I’m the person your mother warned you about.” This was allowed as evidence in the penalty phase, as justification for the defendant’s execution.

So actually, those bumper stickers can get you killed?

I found the link on the US CCA forum and signed up.

Thank you to those of you who put this forum together! I have some Webpage and Forum maintence experience (myPHP, SMF, & VBulletin) so please let me know if you need any assistance. Otherwise I'm glad to be here!

Thanks to all who stepped up to the plate and started this site. Too many times we (me included) all like to complain about things, but nobody does anything to make it better. You all get a big attaboy (or attagirl) from me!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..........so many familiar names! As like more than a few, I found this from a former site that I have become more than a little dissolutioned with, and we won't call any names, but their initials are USCCA. Glad to see where folks are disappearing to.

Thanks for the great new site, I'm a reject from USCCA, I don't really feel like there should be a topic about the dislikes of USCCA, tired of all problems over there and this is a new start with a lot of the same people which is what I like. New people joining this forum (not from USCCA) will ask questions about it if they are interested. We could use a topic about other places to get insurance coverage incase it is ever needed.

I feel like I am at a high school reunion with all the old names Im seeing in this forum. Do I like where USCCA is headed? No. But I did learn some valuable things while I was there. The good thing is most of what I learned is from the people that are now on this forum. With that being said lets not dwell on the past but simply move forward, learn and make this an incredible forum for seasoned carriers along with new carriers.
