I think it’s important to remember that not everyone we’re talking to is a rabid leftist who’s all bent up about removing our gun rights. Some people are in the ‘what’s this all about?’ stage of learning, and it’s incumbent upon us to be good ambassadors for the Second Amendment.Jusme wrote: ↑Mon Jul 19, 2021 6:56 am Just spit balling here, but why does your dad need to justify CC, to anyone? Those same people predicted shoot outs at high noon, blood, in the streets, etc, when the Concealed Carry law was passed, when Open Carry was passed, when Campus Carry was passed, and they have been wrong at every turn.
Constitutional Carry is just that "Constitutional" There is no need to justify exercising a right. Maybe he should ask them, if they believe, they need the government's "permission" to go to church.
When speaking with one of these folks who are truly malleable in their interpretation, remember they have blabbering idiots spouting all sorts of emotional nonsense in one ear, and us in the others. Bringing facts and referenced data to the table helps show them that we’re not the monsters that the other side pretends that we are.
In short, don’t prepare for conversations with the ‘other side’. Instead prepare for conversations with folks who are either ‘on our side but wavering in their understanding’ or with folks who are ‘not sure where the stand because they don’t know enough to make a good decision just yet.’
