Member locations in profiles- who is in witness protection?

This isn't in response to any particular member, but I've noticed that a fair amount of members don't have their location in their profile. I always wondered why that was, especially considering there's 328 million people currently living in the united states and we go by screen names with no other information in our profiles. Aside from the classified where location is important for buying and selling, its also nice to know what general area people are in for sharing information on shooting opportunities, local vendors, etc. I guess people may not have been thinking too much when they set up their profiles, or thought they were being cool or funny, or a different reason? Maybe you all out there don't find location to be an issue and this is just a dumb observation- in that case just add it to the list!

PS if you were born in 1953 the population of the US has double in your lifetime - holy s! 
 
Yes, I have noticed that for some reason most do not share their location as well. It is helpful information when replying to posts or giving any kind of help as different countries and states have such different laws regarding airgun use. If they are in your state maybe they are right around the corner and can meet you somewhere to chat or help as needed.
 
Some people are just paranoid I guess. 

I've never had time to care. Somebody sees I'm nearby and wants to meet up and shoot or talk airguns, I'm all for it. They wanna steal my identity, then well, they may be disappointed lol. 

I got nothing to hide. I pay my taxes, not a sex offender, and I wash my hands after going to the bathroom. 🙂
 
I recently had a member PM me asking for some airgun related help which I was more than happy to help with. Our back and forth messaging had some long pauses. I just happen to check their profile and found they were in Europe. 

I’m more than happy to reveal my location. I can’t wait for the day somebody randomly shows up at my door demanding that we airgun together.😁
 
Couple weeks ago I had a chat over pm...the guy saw in my profile that I am in Canada and he could not control himself how bad is my english for a Canadian/North American. When I told him before I immigrate I was speaking six languages fluently and the english is the very last (and worst...I am at least admitting) ...he was still neying :)

That’s sad,From reading your posts I will never guess English is not your first language 

Some people just look for a reasons to complain or want to start fight.
