Critter:
Then stay outta my sandbox and leave this "like minded hick" alone, since you are obviously much more cultured and educated than the rest of us. Maybe you should go check out their FB page and see how many of us "like minded hicks" have been voicing our opinion. That's why they have been re-thinking their position, the voice of the people.

It merely plays to the the stereotype that gun owners are a bunch of obsessed, single-minded hicks.
I think you're fooling yourself if you think things like that have an impact. At best, you'll be ignored. Constructive engagement is usually the best way to communicate. Seems to me that the management of the mall was pretty reasonable when approached about the policy and decided to re-look at their decision. "Bugging" people on facebook might make you feel good or give you something to crow about to like minded people, but it it just adds noise to the grown-up conversation.

Lots of people(such as myself and many other members of the NFOA and it's board) posting on the mall's Facebook page is what got the whole situation the publicity from KMTV and others that it has.
If their Facebook page hadn't been bombarded by pro-concealed carry posts, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now.
To Critter I say: Carry on! 8)

I've held my fingers so long on this trying to resist...... IF no one would have contacted them in the first place it most likely have NEVER become an issue i.e. no conspicuously posted signs ala Village Pointe, Southpoint in Lincoln etc, etc, etc. and subsequently NOT in compliance with state statute.....

It was people specifically pointing out that they were displeased with the policy via phone, email, and fb, not a bunch of pro-gun infographics on their page that caused them to reconsider. Again, constructive engagement.
I think it's great that people contacted them to express their displeasure about the no weapons policy, and clearly that caused them to reconsider (though I haven't read if they've rescinded it yet). All I'm saying is that there are better ways to communicate that posting up a bunch of 2A propaganda on the malls fb page.
The non-specific "rah-rah" stuff isn't going to convert anyone. It might get some backslaps and "amens" from like minded people, but it certainly won't change anyone's mind. Would it change yours?
