I did not even know there was such a thing as "anti-gun" until I was working on a graduate engineering degree at U.T.Austin. One of the electrical engineering professors was vocally and vociferously "anti-gun". At that time, I had been handling .22s and 12 gauges and 30-06s and .30 carbines since I was a child. I had already served almost three years (35 months 28 days) in the army. I wanted to tell him he was WRONG! But I wanted more to pass his course.

In the last year, four of my immediate neighbors have either been robbed or suffered a home invasion. In two of the cases, the invasion occurred while they were home. As a result of these incidents, I have become the "block captain" for a neighborhood watch group. One block captain responsibility is to distribute (email) crime watch bulletins. So I receive bulletins when anything happens within two miles of our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is averaging more than one event per week.

I guess I never experienced "conversion". But after recent events, I have experienced graduation.
