Looks good!  I'm interested to see how this spreads.

I followed @guntruth  (the truth about guns website) for a while and while their articles and opinions were generally good they had too many "click bait" headlines and got into pissing matches with different NRA persons and gun magazine wroters.

 Eventually I regrettably unfollowed them to save my sanity.

i followed several others today. not really companies, but more like politicians, etc.  i'm trying to follow just pro-gun people/companies, if i have made an error, please let me or a board member know.

I personally think we are good to follow any Pro-Gun/ Pro-Rights group...by following them we are not necessarily endorsing them & if they go off the deep end we can simply unfollow them.


Thank you Robert for taking the time to get it rolling!

ok, i need two three important things from NFOA'ers!

1. i want people to send me pictures of them wearing or seeing NFOA swag on the streets!  you can crop out or blur your face if you don't want it out there, or i can do that as well.  i have a few saved up, but i want to come up with a cool or catchy hashtag, which brings me to #2...

2. come up with a cool hash tag (pound sign for some older timers, lol).  its an easy way how people find our twitter page.  im thinking: #NFOAInTheWild or #NFOASighting or #InTheWild or #OnTheStreets or #NFOASwag something like that.  i only have 140 characters, so the shorter the better.  i usually will add hashtags like #NFOA, #2A or # RTKBA or something similiar.

3. share, re-tweet, like, enjoy.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.
