I've always had an interest in guns since I was a wee child. Always had to have the newest toy guns growing up. And as I got older, middle school, high school... the toy guns got more realistic... enter the BB guns and air rifles and then Airsoft guns...
As the guns got more realistic my mother started to really hate the fact that I had them around. She'd lecture me on how guns are bad... how people only do bad things with them... A few times she'd even go as far as taking them all away from my room while I was at school and hiding them from me (which didn't work since I knew all of her hiding places
not to mention there were just too many for her to hide!)
Anyhow... that was a long time ago. Fast forward 10+ years... and now my brother and I both have our LTC's and are quickly amassing our firearms collections... and my mom seems to not only not care... but she loves going to the range with us. And you can bet she feels safer with us around with our firearms even though she doesn't say it (there have been a couple of attempted robberies at her house in the distant past).
What changed her view on guns? No idea. Once in a while she still says no one should own guns. Yet... once in a while she'll complain that we never ask her to go to the range!
My dad is fine with guns. At least he never had a problem with me having them around in any form, toys or not. He was in the Taiwan military... not sure if that has anything to do with it. I'd say he's indifferent.
Sister... she's on her university's pistol team.
So she likes to shoot. And isn't against the 2A. But she's not the kind of person who would carry at all. She may get her LTC in the future after she turns 21... but it won't be high on her list of to-do's. Who knows. I'm actually thinking of buying her a nice .22 pistol as a graduation present... you know... to "encourage" her to get her LTC
Brother... well, like me, he's got a nice collection going... and we're always checking up on the other one to make sure we're not too far behind
Love it.
Rest of the extended family is either indifferent... or is cool with it. My uncle was also in the Taiwan military so he actually had a good time checking out our AR15's last time they visited... and talking guns for a bit. Then him and my aunt were fine with my brother and I taking our younger cousins out to the range. Having heard this, my other cousins now want to go shooting next time they're in town.
Friends... have all gone shooting with me already... numerous times. None have taken the step to get a license... but none are against it at all.
Coworkers... many have gone shooting with me... all know I'm a gun owner... haven't met any real antis at work... usually the first reaction was "can you take me shooting?"... hehe.
