One of my friends started calling me a "gun maniac", because I recently purchased two pistols and I'm looking for the third. He has started saving for his first pistol after a trip shooting. Otherwise, with the girls at work, I just calmly explain my rationales while accepting theirs. For example, After WI got concealed carry, I explained that the previous laws only allowed the non law abiding criminals to hide a weapon on them.. Anyways, I think the conversation needs to stay friendly, and if they can tell you are not listening to them, they will not listen to you. Also, there are always people that are not worth arguing with, so don't. I think the anti's will be more of a problem now in Wisconsin, after the senseless murders in Oak Creek, WI.
