Reportedly failed to pay $66,000 in legal fees. Is this consistent with OFF's past behavior and character? I don't know anything about them other than one post I made where they were referenced in a pic at a booth that was so politically charged the moderators said not to talk about it.

FWIW I do remember some of the other 2A groups said they wished OFF would coordinate better on the legal suits (this was right before OFF filed their suit as I recall).

Time to send OFF some more bucks.

Or not.

Or not.

OFF was first to file against 114. GOA picked a better court and was more effective, but they have national resources.

Isn't stiffing your lawyers kind of a bad idea?

OFF will never see a dollar from me.

OFF states "We cannot wait until this lawyer's billing practices are made public."

Funny as Kevin is the one who picked them for representation I would assume. Guess he didn't do his due diligence.

Just curious, why not? Is there something the rest of us need to know about them?

Simply cause I don’t respect them. How they handle themselves or their attitude. It’s strictly personal for me.

Okay. Thanks for answering.

Here is my interpretation of this non-story: OFF, the little grassroots 2A org that has been distinctly stalwart in opposing the anti-gunner agenda in OR, is now 30 days late paying a legal bill, after the holidays, and basically got sent to collections.

So, OL's super-liberal Maxine Bernstein writes an article as a hit piece, attempting to elevate this to a big scandal and implying that OFF is scammy. She's trying to get folks to think twice before sending OFF donations.

My impression of OFF in recent years is that they are small, and sometimes disorganized, but principled to a fault. This just says to me the right response is to send OFF more money as soon as I can manage it.

I don't know anything about the other points you raised but the part about the reporter is just flat out wrong.

Seems an extremely odd choice that OFF chose for a 2A case. Why would they choose that guy?

Something doesn’t add up.

$500 an hour and $250 and hour and a bill of $66k was issued the 15th, but wasn’t the first hearing the 8th?

Beyond that, were these folks truly working 24 hours from the 8th of November to the 8-15th of December? I call BS. There is some serious, nefarious activity going on here. This is a means to shut OFF down and shift focus.

Same. (I am, however, a member of and provide financial support to SAF, OSSA, OOC, NRA, ASA, and IHMSA.)

Not enough info to make any kind of evaluation imo. Who knows if their agreement was straight hourly or something else such as contingency plus hourly or contingency converting to cash if they don't win or?
