I revealed to a friend over the weekend that I am a gun owner. He was coming over to visit with his other half. 30 minutes later, they cancelled on me. I suspect it had to do with the "gun". They have been over a bunch of times with the guns in the house, and none of them ever bit them. They just didn't know they were here.
Friend: "You what? You bought what? Wooooow, woow. {screaming now} really? Let me call you back we are eating now..."

Friend: "You better know the laws of carrying a gun. I wouldn't want to get caught with one. Not for me. I don't want no guns anywhere in my house or near me. I don't want the optiuon period!!"
Me: "Dude, first of all its legal, second who talked about carrying? BTW there is legal carry here and you'd be surprised how many people have them. And, I bought them legally from a FFL shop, so what are you talking about?"
Friend: "Wow, I never imagined you were the type, you just don't have the personality, you of all people? I am really shocked!!!"
Me: "I did not buy to hurt anyone, and they don't hurt anyone by themselves, its like knife. It doesn't cut you by itself does it?"
Friend: "Nooo man, knives don't fly! Guns shoot, I just don't even want the chance of anything ever happening.."
Me: "Ok, its like people with car interest. So I like shooting and you have been to the range and shot rifles too even with your significant other true?"
Friend: "Yeah, its an expensive hobby. Anyway, I don't care for guns. Its fun shooting though, I just don't want the gun near or in my house. Its wrong."
Me:
