Its changes their lives for the better. Most are very covert, since they believe it will bring them censure from their friends.

It complicates things when the very simple minded folk, that cling to the notion that all gun owners and CCW folk are fat redneck tea baggers, then some people of color and the Pink Pistols show up with guns and mess up their cartoon like world view.

One of our banned posters used to specialize in that, but now he only gets to post his tea bagger's ass collection of personal pictures in Meta and I think they are even getting tired of his crap.
