Aw crap I am late to this rodeo...Is there any whiskey left?
OP, first off, welcome to the Hide. You should not be "afraid" of being affiliated with a cause that you truly believe in and hold a passion for. I understand that there is an active media shit-smearing campaign to paint anything pro-gun and pro-liberty as some sort of racist, antisocial wacko bullshit and you do not want to jeopardize your career. But at the same time, the reason why our society has been fucked, cucked, and pussified for the past 10 or so years is because way too many good men have allowed themselves to think that they need to be worried about offending some people or shit before speaking their opinions or putting their creativity into good uses.
Fuck that people-pleasing shit. I have never been a people pleaser in my life and I never will be. If you are worthy of my respect and recognition, I treat you just like a brother and I will go out of my way to make you feel welcome. Anybody else can GTFO and choke on a dick, and will be told just that, if they approach me randomly and tell me that they are "offended" by my perfectly legal and non-threatening actions or speech. Don't like the fact that I am carrying a gun? Don't like that Smith & Wesson duffel bag and decal on the back of my motorcycle? Don't like it that I just held a door open for a lady and carried her bags for her? Don't like it that my friends and I had been talking about shooting, reloading, AR-building, and competitions the whole time we were sitting at the burger joint? Well tough luck kiddo and deal with it. I got far more important things taking up my mind than your pathetic cock smoking SJW fantasies. I ain't getting paid to please you.
Secondly, life itself ain't nothing but a game of poker or blackjack. We are all sitting at the table so might as well play the game. We lose by not taking the risk. I give out this same kind of advice on many non-firearms forums as well when telling otherwise overly stressed and worried folks to just relax and live their lives to THEIR standards, not what others tell them to do. The minute you hesitate, fear, or compromise, it ain't satisfying anymore. We all take risks every day, so I certainly wouldn't give a rat's ass about readily putting my time and effort behind such an important cause to the safety of our society as the 2nd Amendment and RKBA.
And what's this about a list? Hell, we are all probably on a list just by buying guns and ammo, and posting on boards like this one. The most important thing is: Do we give a fuck? I certainly don't, otherwise I would not be active in the RKBA community.
I am an adherent of 'The Cowboy Way' and as long as I can keep ridin', I am sure as hell gonna keep ridin' and continuously defend our way of life and our very tools of safety, security, and self reliance from the vermin who wants to see us disarmed.
For a better heads up on what the term "Three Percenter" signifies: As many here have already pointed out, it refers to the 3% of the population of the original 13 Colonies who had taken arms and actively fought the British army and their German and Native American mercenaries. The actual term used in modern civil rights parlance had been coined by the late 2nd Amendment blogger Mike Vanderboegh (RIP) during the mid-2000's along with his co-bloggers Dave Codrea (War On Guns) and Oleg Volk (The High Road). This trio had provided far more extensive coverage of the fight for gun rights as well as the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Clinton regime than anyone else could have, and for this, the Three Percenters had been smeared as a "hate group" by the SPLC. I am one of the ORIGINAL Three Percenters. I got to know these gentlemen via The High Road Forums when I reposted one of Mr. Vanderboegh's kickass articles titled:
Waco Rules vs. Romanian Rules: What Can A Handgun Do Against An Army. The original site where this merry band of Three Percenters gathered and the final design for the iconic flag of the 13-Star Colonial and the 3 vertical bars in the field was drafted and produced, was here:

Now it is a memorial site dedicated to the original founder of the movement who has left us too soon. But those of us who have rode with him from the beginning ain't leaving this fight anytime soon...
