Delaware Open Carry Facebook Goings-On
PostPosted:Fri Jun 28, 2013 7:12 pm
So, as you all know, we maintain a Facebook presence (https://www.facebook.com/groups/363778122911/) to answer some common questions and guide the masses into Delaware Open Carry and increase our membership.
As you may also know, we moderate the Facebook page because of issues in the past where people join and start debates that simply turn into a name calling contest. We are in the media and, with Delaware being such a small state, we need to represent ourselves as being civil, reasonable and intelligent citizens so that that image of open carrying in Delaware is commensurate with that behavior.
So, a gentleman on our Facebook group had some of his posts moderated and I believe he may have been dropped from the group because of some inflammatory comments. He then created a group called "The Real Delaware Open Carry Page."
Now, I have owned the "Delaware Open Carry" as an unregistered trademark and a domain name for over 5 years now. My claim to that piece of intellectual property cannot be refuted, so I've filed a trademark infringement claim with Facebook for consideration. I want to document this process and keep it as open and transparent as possible so no one can claim a he-said/she-said.
The following few posts will be my communications with Dave Thomas.
