Well, let's see.
There are 30,000 people who subscribe to Concealed Carry Magazine, and 150,000 who read our newsletter.
Then there are about a gajillion on the internet who could read these words.
There's also my mom and (through her) my entire extended family. My husband and (through him)
his entire extended family.
Everyone on staff at FAS, plus all the students that have passed through classes I've helped with over the past 7 years or so.
My kids' teacher at the homeschool co op (who thought it was cool, and allowed us to do a firearms-safety presentation for all the kids in the program).
My teenage sons and who knows how many of their friends...
The guy across the street, who asked me to teach his wife to shoot a few years back.
A friend of a friend, who was just starting to think about concealed carry and convinced he'd never be able to conceal. I commented that I could help him work through that, and he replied, "You? But I've never seen you carry a gun." I grinned and retorted, "You've never seen the gun, but you've never seen me without one..."
The sensei at the local danzan ryu dojo who has often watched me disarm ...
Our old babysitter, who was around when I was first getting into it and who asked me, "Why do you like guns? Guys like guns, girls don't!" -- and who understood perfectly when I replied, "Girls get raped, guys don't."
Oh, better add everyone on any of several email discussion lists where I participate, and of course the members of at least a dozen gun forums...
My firstborn's best friend's family -- who for a long time made a habit of dropping by to visit without calling first, and often caught me cleaning my teaching gun on Sunday nights. In fact, once they stopped by and I
didn't have a gun in pieces on the kitchen table, and one of them immediately said, "Who are you and what did you do with the people who lived here before?! There's no firearm on the table!"
Nope. I haven't told anyone. I keep it a carefully-guarded secret because I'm terribly worried that if anyone finds out I carry a gun, they might think less of me....
