Why Do Members Conceal Their Locations??

[Rastoff]

I list my location because I'm hopeful one of my friendly southern forum brethren will invite me to visit them in January!




hint, hint, hint

You can come visit any time. We'll go shoot some Trap and laugh at those on he East Coast buried in snow.

I should be easy to find. I'm in KS, east of OZ. My wife wears ruby red slippers.

On 2nd thought you can't find me, KDOT put asphalt over the yellow brick road.

If you do find me I'm the guy behind the curtain moving the levers.

"ashamed of where they are"
That is not exactly me, but I have read many members trashing or making fun of mobile home residents. I live in what they call an "upscale" mobile home park. Still, when push comes to shove, it's still a trailer park.

So all the bears.....

So all the bears I've killed with my revolver won't come back and haunt me.

I love the tragic boating accident story. It ranks right up there with "the dog ate my homework" and "it went off all by itself while I was cleaning it."

Actually, mine were lost in a catastrophic macramé accident.

I'd explain, but it's too painful to talk about.

Let's just say that a macramé bumper jack is a very bad idea.

I know where that house is . Does that count as a good starting point?
Second thought, I hate flying Monkeys!

 

[carpriver]

Am I really in the UP of Michigan or someplace else. Yes I have a steel roof lined with tin foil and copper screen. No secret radio wave can get to my brain while I am inside the house. I am screwed when I go out unless I am wearing my tin foil Stormy Chromer hat.

 

[coltle6920]

I once thought that some members hid their location so the moderators couldn't find them...

Yeah,I'm missing a few brain cells!

It's a shame some folks (even here) have to put others down.

 

[7shooter]

Mea Culpa.

I am sincerely sorry for failing to add my location .

I have made amends.

 

[islamoradamark]

if a member wanted to come to the area i live it would be be fun to hang out go boating mabey snorkeling and talking S&W IM ALWAYS WANTING TO MEET AND LEARN something had other members say if ur up this way gimme a call good folks here

 

[wuluf]

I have been curious why many members conceal what state they live in?? It is always interesting reading about local gun shops, local sales, gun buying experiences, but many members do not put their state location in their profile. I often read about how gun prices are either higher or lower in parts of the country, but have no idea where these people are from in the first place.

Just curious . . . . .

Paranoid? me? nah...why, exactly, do you need to know?

 

[joeintexas]

Hey! I've been there!

I think I know her!!

 

[DeadAye]

If you had this many Registered Magnums and no safe you wouldn't want folks to know where you are either

 

[gasaman]

We also know what you are and who you did.
I just want to know why wealth is so common in Massachusetts and Virginia, and where did it come from?

Can't help ya there brotha....
According to you I'm uncommon, yet I always thought of myself as a "regular Joe". lol

 

[Sconnie]

I show mine so if I get lost I can log on here and find out where I live.

This one is my favorite.

I have to admit I have wondered the same thing when guys or gals have been posting about great gun show finds or gun shop finds. At least the State would confirm that it is not here in Wisconsin. I have never run across a "great deal" but I have not been looking hard enuf for long. And I suppose it is also possible that I gotta get out and about more.

 

[RobertJ.]

Let's face it. If "they" want to know where you live, "they" WILL find out. So why worry about it?

I don't mind people knowing where I live, it's not like I give my address. I'm even comfortable being more specific than I have been. I live on the corner of Pacific and Columbia.

 

[vonn]

We have millions of people here illegally that the government cannot catch why should I worry!

 

[Ogandydancer]

Here's my reason! Like a ham operator once commented; never advertise over the air where you live exactly or when you are going to be out of town cause there are all kind of people out there with monitors who listen in and then target you for theft, same reason here basically anyone with internet access can read these boards and target you for theft

 

[BAM-BAM]

I use "Westren Pa." I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm from "Filthydelphia" ! LOL

Out here on the frontier we'd like to give Philly to NJ....... we think they would be much happier!

 

[regalsc]

I only have a phone no computer. I didn't feel like typing all the other stuff. My home is a suburd of Detroit, Livonia. Anyone that wants to contact me to meet at a range sometime can feel free to do so.

Actually, I wouldnt mind a double-wide MH myself.My uncle-a WWII vet, lived in themall his life. The ony thing i don like about them--s that they are Tornado magnets.

I assume the newer ones are better, but it hasn't been that long since a mobile home that caught fire would burn to the ground in ten minutes. I've seen the results.

But if I could have one anchored five ways on ten acres, half woodland, with a pond full of bass...

 

[cmort666]

I don't worry about it one bit.

I've had Nazis post supposed directions to my house.

My reaction? "How come you're not here yet?"

You're more likely to die in a house fire than for somebody to track you down because you say what city and state in which you live... without even using your real name.

 

[lonejacklarry]

My residence is right up there in the upper right corner. No one knows where I am even with that information.

By the way, it is not being paranoid if people are really after you.

 

[JonF]

If you want me , ya' gotta go through Detroit first. Good luck, I,m waitin' on the other side.

 

[sunnyd]

Illegal aliens trying to infiltrate the forum, like everything else!!!

 

[Old 44 Guy]

The IRS, Post Office,UPS,electric company, garbage co.,all know where I live on the Oregon Coast.So what? I just totaled up the rainfall for last year, 43.44 inches for fiscal year 2013 -14. So we are in a drought because we get twice that much in normal years.

 

[flyrobb]

I want everyone to know what state I live in because.....sorry lost my train of thought....sorry, had to go get some munchies....I'm back, dosed off for a minute....what was I saying???....Is this the "Annoyed at thread Drift" thread???... Oh yea, I love Colorado for some reason.

 

[Salty RI]

(Is this the "Annoyed at thread Drift" thread???...)

No but it's getting there. There is no need to put where your from, we can tell by your accent.
