• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Rich: How 'bout a CCW forum?

New Forums require a reasonable chance of good traffic. While concealed carry is an important consideration, we don't believe it would carry it's weight as a stand alone Forum.

I'd use it.

General Handguns would seem to be the logical place for most CCW posts. And other topics such as CCW holsters, or legal questions, or tactics already have a place in other existing forums. I generally subscribe to a "Less Is More" philosophy. GT is positively bloated with forums. It's confusing and time consuming.

On the other hand...;)

The very fact that CCW issues are many and varied might point to the usefulness of a comprehensive, dedicated forum. And concealed carry is a major issue in the "discussion and advancement of responsible firearms ownership".

Food for thought. I'm undecided at this time.

My way of thinking is that with more and more people getting their CCW permits, it would be a very popular topic. It's very well used at GT for comparison purposes.
