we should not be sorry to be gun owners. We should still deal with non-gun owners with courtesy, respect, and professionalism, because if you're going to open about your ownership of firearms, you have automatically declared yourself to be an ambassador for the shooting sports. That means that in ever interaction you have with a non-gun owner, you need to think about your actions reflect on all gun owners; and if you choose to be open about and unapologetic, your actions should reflect positively on the rest of the community.

agree 100%. Believe it or not most people just need to empty out a few magazines to learn the beauty of the sport.

 

My gf for example, hated guns... until I bought mine, and took her to a few stores yesterday.

 

My mother is actually ok now having being in the same house when I am cleaning my guns. =P
