By "desensitizing," you could be talking about the local LEOs, or the local citizenry.

In any case, actually, in much of rural Texas, firearms are much more accepted that in some big city yuppie suburb. Out here where I live, if you shot a bad guy, the local sheriff would probably slap you on the back and say "good shot!" The little small town cafe where I eat breakfast sometimes has one of those "We don't call 911" signs over the cash register. Anybody who tried something in there would probably get blown full of more holes than a slice of bread.
