    Given the mental state of most Americans, and blind followers of country in other countries, I'll take that as a compliment.

    China, Japan, France, Spain, Brazil, Argentine, Peru, Syrian Nationals, etc etc Anyplace that can have rabid sports fans can produce a populace with a large amount of "national pride". Honestly, I don't think it's a positive for a society. It retards social evolution, and glosses over issues...

    The most practical use for me is a fun gun. That's why I shoot what I shoot 99% of the time...guns that have no practical purpose outside of clearing houses or fun at the range. In other words, the most practical guns for me are the most impractical.

    Knight Home Inspection. Or better yet, *your town or county* Home Inspection A bit of advice from a former marketing dude. Using a word like "knight" as the word "night" in a company name will confuse customers when they try to google search you or *Gasp* type the name of your company into an...

    I didn't have any agenda, and you're free to live any way you please. It's just interesting that some people are so incredibly jaded that they wouldn't take an person that has misconceptions about firearms and personal protection to the range if they sought your opinion and expertise. That's...

    So you'd invite gays to your church? I don't know you or your opinions so don't read anything into that...just genuinely curious. Why not do both?

    I did. The whole point is that you aren't going to get them all, but when you do it's fucking important. I don't waste my time with people that just want to shout in my face, but that's not the majority..maybe it's my charming demeanor, but lots of anti-gun people find me approachable on the...

    If you get one to come to the middle, or even to the pro-gun side, they'll be the most powerful ally the Second Amendment could have. They'll have lots of anti-gun friends that will be willing to listen to their reasoning, and they will share a lot of other opinions. Those are the people we...

    Well, I take who is willing to go. The people that are so far to the anti side that they won't listen, probably won't go to the range. If they will....a door has opened. I just try to not slam it in their face with asshole behavior. Hard to imagine I'm sure. ;)

    Yes, poor analogy. Being hetero or homo is innate, an opinion on firearms is not. Many a jew has been converted to islam, and christian to judaism. That's the whole idea. Just don't be wed to your ideas. Stay hospitable, stay interested in their opinions, and help them to have fun in a...

    Not mine, but I'll bet a number of people have been converted to christianity over the years.

    Poor analogy. I've had some success inviting anti-gun folks. I don't know that I've changed any more than 1-2 minds, but I've given the 2nd amendment a less hillbilly face for association, and have gotten people to think about guns as a mean for preserving the peace and protecting the...

    Help me out with some ideas

    It really sucks. Even a sharpened toothbrush handle can get you into hot water. It's a real bitch. In Switzerland I can almost certainly get by with a small swiss army knife. I had my Spyderco Delica taken at the Louvre in Paris, but it was returned upon exit from the museum. The knife was...

    I Yeah, if found, that'd land me in jail. It needs to be something that's not purpose built for defense..or at least is multi-purpose with defense being secondary.

    I've had 100% the opposite experience with people that are 100% against private gun ownership. They've been incredibly receptive and open minded. Using a generalization for such a large number of people might get in the way of gun rights progress. The delivery of the message might have...

    You don't advocate for the right to bear arms? You wouldn't invite an anti-gun acquaintance/friend to the range for some real world experience with firearms? If they were curious, why not? Excluding them will simply increase the divide and erode our chances of maintaining and strengthening...

    Hypothetical gun owners. What is your opinion on whether anti-rights individuals should be welcomed at the range, in deer camp, shooting events, etc? Do you actively recruit anti-gunners to share your sport/hobby/way of life/past time? Is it fruitful? Have you damaged any relationships, or...
