Was waiting in a long line at Meijer (grocery store) so I thought I’d browse the PGCA forum while I’m waiting. WRONG.. Apparently this is a dangerous site.. Haha.

Should add this was on the grocery stores WIFI, so whatever filter they use had this site blocked.

I get that sometimes too... usually in hospitals.
I find that if I go on the PGCA site through a back door like an email notifying me of a reply to a thead I've been active on, I have no problem accessing the site.

Had the same thing happen trying to log in to GB while at a hospital waiting room. The thought police are on us.

Don’t feel bad, all sites remotely affiliated with shooting sports and firearms are blocked in and around Disney World. Driving in World Drive, once you pass a certain point, all sites are blocked. Left wing suppression of free speech.

Yeah, that’s what I did.. Just found it funny that it would be blocked at all, out of all firearm sites. I’m sure it’s just a blanket ban on anything firearm related.

Not only are they based in Michigan (Grand Rapids), they sell hunting licenses in their stores! These guys ought to know better...

Yes, our hospital WIFI has recently changed, and I cant acess PGCA thru my phone or laptop---due to category "WEAPONS". This is a recent change after our hospital was bought by a group out of , where else but California. Hell, i often go down and talk hunting with the IT guys, one of whom runs Eng, Setters. He is going to see what he can do about it. I can still acess it in my office thru the ether net line.
I also had this happen at the Ford dealership in West Virginia, where I made it a point to tell the manager that I may go elsewhere next time if it wasnt remidied. For crap sake, this is West Virginia where trucks, guns, apple pie, moms, and God are held in high esteem!! Bet you could get on a porno site if you wanted.

Interesting. Meijer gives away junior deer hunting licenses in the fall.
