Neighbors and Guns

Definitely one of the most satisfying things as a gun owner is turning a non or an anti into one of us. My buddy and his fiance are very liberal, but I've taken them to the range and now my buddy buys ammo for me and him and begs me to go to the range.

My girlfriend was also a non before we dated as she just never grew up with guns in the house. She's supports the idea of me carrying and the reasons that I do. One day, after the Aurora, CO shooting, her mother (who is conservative, just a non) said, "you don't carry when you go to the movies, right?" And my reply was, "of course I do" with my girlfriend chiming in, "you never know when you're going to need Mom." She now has my Ruger SR22 and wants to go to the range every weekend. I guess that's not a bad thing, right?
 
You sir are a lucky man..
Btw I'm glad you are home stateside. We need the rest of soldiers home now.

I agree with the OP sometimes just a little logical explanation can totally enlighten the uninitiated. It's a good feeling when you can turn their perspective around..
