Let me know what categories or subcategories are needed. Also let me know if they should be restricted in any way.
There should be a Training section with individual rooms for:
⢠Upcoming training course announcements
⢠After Action Reports (AAR) of trainings attended
⢠Discussion of training techniques
⢠Seeking training to fix a problem area
⢠Maybe a monthly drill where a drill is posted and people can respond with photos of their targets and how they did on the drill
Community Building section:
A place to announce local meetups - whether at a range, class, event, or even just a restaurant/bar
Equipment and accessories Section:
This is for items that supplement shooting, self defense, and training but arenât the actual firearms themselves. Can cover both selection of items as well as their uses and techniques
⢠Optics room
⢠White Light/Low lights
⢠Holsters and belts
⢠etcâŚ.

Welcome High_Exposure!
From the main page we can add a Category and/or Sub-Category. Canât have a sub-sub-category.
With that in mind how should I structure this? Should I create a new main category called Community and then have Training and Equipment as sub categories? Let me know I am open to whatever everyone wants.
If Iâm interpreting it correctly -
⢠we can have a category
⢠each Category be broken down into sub-cats
⢠And then individual topics/discussions can be posted under each sub cat?
If thatâs accurate -
âEquipment and Accessoriesâ can have its own category with subs-cats for each for applicable topics such as those mentioned above:
⢠Optics
⢠lights
⢠parts
⢠holsters/belts
⢠load carriage (mag carriers/pouches)
⢠Competition gear
⢠etc
âTrainingâ can be its own category with sub-cats for:
⢠announcements
⢠AAR
⢠discussion
⢠drills
⢠etcâŚ
âCommunityâ can be a new category with sub-cats for:
⢠meetups
⢠members looking for help (borrow a tool, help moving something heavy, etcâŚ)
⢠hard times section (prepping/self reliance topics)
⢠etcâŚ

Correct interpretation. Iâve added what you suggested. Let me know if I missed something or if you need changes/additions.
Thanks!

You have to fire up the First Amendment area again, especially in an election year. Password protect it so Google canât crawl it.

Itâs there but you just donât see it. I did post about it. A few already have access but I donât think anyone has posted there yet you would be the first in the First Amendment area 
Looks good so far.
Iâll come up with some posts for different areas to get discussion started.

Question⌠Talk about Firearms ID Card, Purchase Permits and Carry Permits; should they go in the NJ Law Talk or someplace else? There is a NICS section, but thatâs not really NICS. I see the Concealed Carry section under Firearms to be more on the act of carrying.
Hi Kevin - I think since these pertain to NJ specifically they could be topics under the New Jersey Gun Laws Discussion - New Jersey Gun Forums
Though I think a âConcealed Carry in NJâ category might need to be added under NJ & Federal Gun Law Discussion - New Jersey Gun Forums
Let me know what you think.
I agree, NJ Laws seems appropriate.
Should I also add the âConcealed Carry in NJâ category?
Edit: Oops there is a Concealed Carry - New Jersey Gun Forums
Just a note
Instead of some subcategories a thread stickied to the top of the category will serve the same purpose.
Need to be careful not to break it down too much or you end up with a confusing maze and creating clicks of members that donât interact anywhere else on the site.
We can certainly adapt and change the categories to topics or the other way around if necessary. Please let me know what changes to make.
Take a look at this layout, it works really well
We could run the forum list down the left side
PMs could show as a notification icon on your name icon up top right (I think it does that already
We used to have a section where we could post gun/ammo/accessories deals or sales that members find online. Can we have that setup too? I couldnât find one unless itâs nested in another group somewhere.
