Hey guys. There has been lots of communication lately regarding Gun ownership and what it means to our friends, co-workers, spouses, family and girlfriends... This got me thinking(what a concept)about my own dealings with the 'antis'...
Become a positive statistic! Most people who have negative ideas about us don't know anything they didn't hear on the news. I've got a couple friends from Long Island who think that guns are 'bad'. But even they will now admit 'We know one guy who likes to shoot, and he's not a psychopath..' (I take my compliments any way I can)
I don't wave my collection at people whom I have just met (liability, theft, etc.) and for obvious reasons you don't want people to know when you're carrying.
Anyone who knows me for a short period of time knows I like to shoot, and I am safe.
You might be suprised. If you're 'in the closet' about your status as a gun owner, you may not even realize how many people around you are also gun owners who have been scared into not talking about it.
