Was chatting with a co-worker who told me today, "I don't care if you own a gun or anyone else does, but I will never, ever, ever have one in my house." I tried to get a reason why, but the answer was nonsensical. It basically came down to, she had never fired one, didn't understand them, and was afraid of them.
I tried all my usual explanations...It's a tool, I will teach you, I will take you shooting, etc. But, she was too nervous about them to agree to anything. I pointed out the rash of break ins and other crime lately and that having something other then a cell phone is almost a necessity these days.
I will keep working on her and hope I can convert her to the right side.
