So many states now have "shall issue" passed into law, that previously had none. That alone accounts for a significant increase of law abiding citizens carrying concealed weapons. I think in many states, before "shall issue" laws were passed, many people who wanted a firearm for protection were discouraged by the bureaucratic process in place to get a permit, if one even existed at the time. Keep up the good work.

Lefty, you make a good point. Given a legal right, the honest, law abiding citizens will be more willing to take advantage of the law for the betterment of all.
Yet we, as gun owners, have an obligation to inform the less informed as to what they can do legally. The tough part is in trying to tell these people that with guns, one size does not fit all. The gun that is ideal for one may be totally incorrect for another. All I know best to do is give them advice and expose them to a variety of types and calibers so they can decide for themselves which suits them.
If each active shooter would get one person per yr involved in shooting, then our numbers will double annually. The politicians are now unable to ignore gun owners based on our numbers. If we doubled that amount, we can get more laws in our favor.
