I've been giving this some thought lately (just a warning if you're easily offended stop reading or just plain go away) but I've come to consider us gun owners as the new minority. If i remember my numbers correctly approximately 10% of America's population are gun owners, that's around 35,000,000 citizens. Now where I'm going with this is when I tell someone (I live in a blue state like NJ mind you) that I'm a gun owner and a shooter the first thing I'm met with is an odd look or a comment or some mild to not so mild response. The few times I've mentioned the fact that I'm a gun owner to someone who's a L.E.O. they look at me like I'm a criminal. I almost feel like people are friendly with me until they know this aspect (more properly a passion) of my life, after which I'm almost perceived as a threat. Once given the chance though there's not one person I've spoken to, face to face, that hasn't at least comfortable with me owning a gun. If gun owners were a race, this would be racism at its finest. Does ayone else feel like this or have a similar point of view?
