I suspect making parts of the forum private etc, could/would open the site up to more trouble than it's worth. Mainly because we have open discussions about so many things firearm related and by being public we are able to say "We aren't hiding anything, and we are happily expressing our 1A rights, legally."

If you are worried about saying something on the forums here, chances are pretty good you wouldn't want to be saying them anywhere else either.

To me, it's not as much about that, as it is about non gun people being able to see what enthusiasts are talking about.....Not that what we say has to be hidden, but it doesn't need to be available to just EVERYBODY either, ya know?

I do see your point. But even though I am not saying anything wrong doesn't mean I want to share every word with everyone. Just like I wouldn't want every conversation I am having with my friends posted for everyone to see and open to their biases or interpretations. Not everything necessarily needs to be shared. I know that with a public forum it goes with the terriory when you post something which we all are ok with or else we wouldn't be here. There is also nothing wrong with a closed door conversation at times.
