    Facebook can be a lot of fun, and a great way to keep in touch of family and friends, BUT you should be careful of what you put out there for all the world to see.

    User discretion is highly advised.

        Guns is something that you need to keep to yourself. You don't know how other people will take to it, and ultimately you don't want to become a target for thievery or other forms of crime.

        On that note, I nuked my Facebook, Twitter and all that stuff a long time ago; I don't want everyone knowing what I'm up to every second of the day. As far as I'm concerned, the only people that need to know what I'm up to are the people I'm doing that particular activity with. For people that are vain and have that need to announce to the world what they're doing all of the time, I guess it's fine, but privacy, like space, is something you can never have enough of, IMO.

        Keep your guns a personal secret, guys. I've been here like a month and I've lost track of how many threads talking about how their house was broken into and their guns stolen. To me, losing my guns that way is akin to getting my dick chopped off...


        I don't always save the world, but when I do, it's in 24 hours or less...

          Some one posted a link to a u tube video called
          Privacy is dead- get over it

          When someone clicks like- many private pics and posts are now public

          In the video, someone posted a 55 Gallon drum that had a KY Jelly sticker on it
          Someone clicked like and made a funny comment

          His image then showed up in an ad for KY.
          FB sold his like to KY and KY used his profile pic in an ad....

          This might be funny hype to make a point but once you post the pic, expect it to be in Google Images and anywhere else on the web
          Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

          Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

          Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

          Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

              I post pics on Facebook, on CGN, and I even make Youtube videos!

              Most of my friends on FB shoot, and if they don't shoot then they're likely family. Either way it's a great way to keep in touch with people who live outside of that 30 minute zone.

                            For those of you who "nuked" your Twitter, FB, etc. a while ago, go and search for yourself of Spokeo.com You may be in for an unpleasant surprise.

                            I did an interview with famed hacker Kevin Mitnick for a big Fox film. During the interview, he had his laptop. He asked for my legal name. Within three minutes he was able to pull up my current home address, every address I have ever lived at for my entire 49 years, the hospital I was born in, my SS#, all of my credit card numbers and a lot of other stuff, schools I graduated from, you name it. And then he told me that this was not sophisticated hacking at all, this was stuff that millions of people can easily do, if they know the right websites and utilities to use.

                            There is no such thing as privacy for anyone anymore, unless they have never been on-line and even then, there is a surprising amount of stuff out there. Posting your crap on FB and even here just makes it a bit easier, that's all, but all of your stuff is out there on the web, trust me.

                              Indeed.

                              That doesn't include public and private organizations which store your data for commercial or government use. The city clerk, the local police, the utilities company secretary, even the cell phone company sales rep has access to your name , address, SS and all the goods through their internal systems. If someone wants to get customer data they need not risk hacking or an internet utility, they'll just get a job at Best Buy.

                              I worked a retail job years ago which had access to credit applications and stored customer data, and more than a few people got fired for stealing client data right out of the corporate computer system for fake ID's, credit cards, and other forms of fraud.
