gentlemen,
although this board is predominately male, we're making an active effort to reach women. carry may be predominantly a "man thing", but i can think of no group that is more important to reach on this issue than women. if we can get women to accept the importance of carry, perhaps we can encourage them to carry responsibly as well.
it has recently been brought to my attention that the sexy images of nearly naked women makes this site uncomfortable for many women who visit here and this is exactly the opposite of the message we are trying to send. i hope to welcome women both into carry and into this site, not make them feel alienated by subjecting them to images of nearly naked women in posts and signatures.
i love women and find them beautiful...but this is not the proper place for sexy images. at this point i respectfully request that you guys refrain from posting any image that projects blatent sexuality. instead, help me welcome women into this site by displaying tact and courtesy. we can only benefit from having their input, and i look forward to it.
thanks, |

This is a site dedicated to concealed carry of firearms, glad to see that is the main focus. God knows there are plenty of other sites on the net dediciated to nudity, porn, etc for those who want it.

Welcome, Reggie! Stop by the introduction forum and say Hi!!!
This is EXACTLY my fears. I have a 9-year-old and a 3-year-old. Both girls. I'm truly afraid for the world that awaits them when they are 16, 18, 20, 25 and older. It's bad and getting worse. |

I am with you 100% on this issue!
Thanks,

Hey Nathan,
This is a great request. I would love it if my wife would get involved with a forum like this one where she could see the benefit of concealed carry and not just focus on how 'nerve-wracking' it may be. But certainly making it more appealing to women is the only way to get that accomplished! |

Guys, those few of you that appear to have a problem with Nathan's request -- and note that he doesn't have to request, since as admin he can nuke your account with a mouse click -- I think you need to grow out of the puberty phase of life. |

Just to add to the point....Great site..it's the only one I use. sometimes I may do a google search and it takes me to other forums that seem to preach the exact opposite as this forum and it really makes me appreciate the wealth of knowledge found here.
Anyhow, on the point of not offending women here....I totally agree with women needing to carry and feel that they may need to carry more so than men since they make easier targets especially when alone. I have my wife on the fence when it comes to her getting her carry permit and when I give her info on why and such I open up this forum(and only this forum) to back up that information and it would diminish any results if I opened up one of the topics to only end up showing her explicit material. Thanks to all for making this forum the forum it is..Extra praise to Nathan and all of his hard work that goes into it. |

I'm with you Nathan. Besides, I found out my wife reads this forum as much as I do since I saved it on favorites. She's really getting into it, and wants to go to the range. (The Army Brat in her finally came to the surface.) |

I like most others here probably view these forums while at work. If works software finds a picture that is questionable, the entire site would then be blocked, and a notice would be sent to my boss for explanations.

The thread is titled "Respectful Request" not "Be disrespectful and get yourself banned after being warned rather politely."
Now back to your regularly scheduled program...

If I wanted to look at nude women I would go somewhere else. I don't really see any of this forum's policies any worse than any others I've been on. I used to mod a fish tank forum and that was insanely strict, tons more rules than you will find here. I've seen people with heads blown off by themselves with shotguns, people who have poured gas on themselves and lit themself on fire and lived. Don't assume that because this isn't the place for oscene stuff, that we are afraid of the taking of human life. Many here have served in the military and done plenty of it. |

At my age I am more interested in guns than in nude photos, so that is why I am here! |

you have just hit on the exact reason for this respectful request. i love scantily clad feminine beauty as much as anybody, but there is a time and a place for it.
...if the female members of this forum started posting nearly nude pictures of male models (like me  ), i dont think the male membership would like it too much.
this is just simple common courtesy which is why it was presented as a respectful request and not an iron rule. surely as reasonable adults we can gather without going out of our way to alienate others. |

I really don't get why you are having such an attitude about this forum. I am a new member here and before I signed up I was "browsing" through for about month or so.
I have also visited other sites which I don't want name right now and I have determined that this forum offers the best and the most reliable info.
The forum owner simply outlined that posting "on the edge" images depicting woman is unacceptable here. You do realize that this forum has many female members that might find those images offensive, rightfully so.

Agreed, and I am guilty of doing it once for which I take full responsibility.
