First let me commend you and your department for the way in which this has been handled over an extended period of time, it is very professional. This is the type of attitude and experience that will really change minds and attitudes. We all need to go out of our way to educate the many who are not "gun people". It will not be easy, and can sometimes be frustrating, but will be worth it in the long run. I have read many posts her bashing the anti gunners but very few willing to educate them. This is where we need to go in the future if we really want our views respected.
