How many of you actually don't mind that some people will shy away from you if they know you are armed, or when you are are carrying openly? I, for one, often prefer that those who don't like guns (ordon't like people that carry guns) just stay away from me. I don't like getting into defensive or heated arguments about gun rights, being armed, etc (contrary to what my wife believes ), so if a conversation that I carry or endorse being armed comes up, and the other party become anxious or negative, I just prefer to also avoid them. I guess I use being armed, or advocating gun rights to separate the people I DO prefer to be around from those that I don't. Sometimes it isn't real obvious, but I can usually tell if someone is "turned off" by the presence of guns, or the presence of a pro-2nd Amendment person. Do any of you do the same thing?
