Gun Opinion Changing - what have you seen?

[pennstater]

Before 2020 LBM riots I used to feel safe with my GP 100 and Glock 10mm, had to buy the Beretta 1301 Tactical now to feel somewhat safe.

I see what you did there. Pretty good!

I’m a volunteer handgun instructor and we have seen a huge influx of people who realized that need to defend themselves and not rely on the police. We’ve had some comments on how bad the laws are and the head instructor’s standard answer is “You voted these guys in and voted for these laws.” Lots of shocked expressions when the realization hits them.

2 different acquaintances both said the same type of thing


Well ANTIFA taught the world that the 2nd amendment is not about hunting. That debate was settled.

Both are new Gun owners. One last year and one this year.

In my experience, taking them shooting usually makes them fans. I have a few converts to the holy arms

I think it was my wife (dating at the time) who changed me.
I was never anti gun, but never had them in my house growing up, and never really thought about them.
My wife grew up in an LDS family and they are very pro firearms
In fact, when we were dating, she purchased me a 44 revolver (back when that was legal). I knew then she was a keeper
Now we have MANY firearms and she has never given me any grief for bringing home a new one.
Her only question is where’s that going to fit in the safe
I told her we need another safe

Wait were her liberal friends also saying they wanted guns?

29 years ago my wife told me no guns in the house. I told her great sounds like the wedding is off. Guess what…my guns came in the house.
Fast forward…my wife is pissed cause she can’t just get a CCW. We moved so now it should be easier so we’re looking into it. She wants to carry
