anti-gun family members

Being mugged can change your viewpoint on many beliefs in a hurry.

Stand your ground and move on.

They are family, love them and that's that.

Politics, guns and money.
I try to stay away from those topics.

My daughter in law was raised in a strongly anti gun family. At 1st she had a hard time knowing I carry all the time. Come to find out she was taught that guns, somehow, jump up and kill people. She wasn't very vocal about it but she let it be known she didn't like it one bit. Last fall when my son, she and my grand kids came for a visit, I did the unthinkable - I took my grandson to the range to teach him how to shoot. The only way she would allow it was for her to come along to supervise, grudgingly. Long story short - by the end of the day she was shooting my CM9 and AR15 and loving every minute of it. Last week my son called to say they had a new Glock 19 and were looking at AR's. Patience can be a great thing.

Excellent!!

Guns are like religion and politics. Most people believe what they believe because they believe it. It's not a matter of evidence or reasons. So, trying to "argue" or have a rational discussion is pointless. It just gets everyone riled up to no purpose.

How do you guys handle anti-gun family members? my sister will be in for the next couple days and is all gung ho anti guns.. we had a LONG
discussion about me owning a pistol.. i got the whole "My friend's mom shot their dad because she thought he was a burglar!"

My whole entire family is anti-guns. Only cops should have guns.... you know the drill.

Just tell her that her friends mom shot her dad because he was a two-timing self centered misonist and gigolo, and she just said he was a burguler for the kid's sake.

If it continues, you can tell her to **** in a loving brotherly way.

I just say "You may be right" since it concedes nothing and let's them think they won. Then I change the subject.
