Group wise, yeah, many of the groups don't do much. There is one of my groups from my home town that actually does get together fairly often & when I have gone home I have had the opportunity to go hang out with those people. Some of those folks are political & I have been using my connections with that group for activism in getting equal rights for IL slaves (people without the right to bear arms can't really be called citizens). I have always felt a little like I am in exile. I wouldn't feel comfortable being an instant felon (for doing what I do legally here everytime I leave the house) and I sure am not comfortable walking around partly dressed. . .. So, that group has given me the opportunity to DO something about it . . .even if that something is a few minutes on a soapbox every couple months.
Revenge, well, after my divorce I rushed into something and that something didn't work out 2 weeks before my remarriage. . . . I imagine that young lady has some harsh feelings. I have no ill will her way, but I'd be the second guy to leave her at the alter for all practical purposes. Other than her, I have kept my accounts with people pretty clean & so I don't worry about "putting myself out there". I'd love to hear your story Ssax .

Ok, I joined. I'll have to go into facebook through my daughter's account and see just how much others can see in my wall or profile. I don't care if it shows up on my group list, but I don't really care to have things pop up on my wall about it.

I believe you can modify what shows up on the wall.
If there's enough agreement, I'll close the group and require admin approval. That shuts it down from posting to your wall.
There may be benefit to that, if we want to have a discussion off the beaten path. It's a little tougher to hide who you are on Facebook, so we can tell who's reading what.

ETA - I don't think most of my groups post anything to my wall. I've got a few that send me messages (activism groups), but I don't think I've ever seen wall posts.
ETA2 - Part of my reason for creating it was also to raise awareness about this forum...which is a possible reason to NOT close the group.

Most of the folks on my friend list know I'm a firearms enthusiast, but most don't know I carry and I prefer to keep it that way. If I can block stuff from coming up on my wall, that's as far as I need to take it. If someone wants to analyze my group list and finds out, that's fine. It's not like I'm trying to keep it a big secret, I just want to control who knows and when they know. I'd rather that if they find out, they find out from me, when we're face to face.

My close friends all know I do, and I've joined gun groups on facebook so people do know I have some, but I'm not sure how many coworkers/acquaintances need to know that I carry those guns

I'm pretty unabashed that if I'm not at work (where banned by policy), I'm carrying. I don't run around stating it, but those who know me know that I carry. I've only had one person ever look down her nose, and considering who she is, I can live with it. If asked, I'll state that I do not violate workplace policy. My boss has asked politely, and I politely responded. That was the end of the matter, and it's been a long time since then. But that's totally my choice. I'll never begrudge someone the decision to not reveal. -Mark
