As I said previously, once people have exposure to these things, their parents talk about it with them, and the culture is such that people honestly talk about guns and self defense, training won't be needed. But as it stands, few people understand the issues around carry and discharge of a weapon. Give it two years. This will let people see how little trouble carriers are and how safe they are.
As it is, when people learn that I carry, the conversation starts. I always lead with why I carry and the implications of carrying that lead to the "is carrying a gun right for me" assessment. Those opportunities will come much more frequently after Jan 1

but noname, the unrealistic rhetoric being bantered about centering on comments: 'oh we will get unfettered OC off the privilege card during the next couple of legislative sessions' and those who pooh paw'g the significant harassment risk those who do OC w/their privilege card face from the nice LEs and politicians who use the lack of an amendment to posture their own agendas...kinda like was done by the political grandstanding over the bill(s) this session.
i do feel, you personally, have the breath and depth of solid optimism to OC while trying to spread the word...alas this harassment, perceived or real, will keep many, but the most brave at heart from OC'g thus mitigating any type of public edification to the concept.
please know i bid you and your ilk, nothing but the best in dealing with the challenges ahead. i am sincerely hopefully the follies of the past campaigns won't be repeated in future endeavors to secure your unfettered OC rights.
