What have you done?????
Think of it as responsible growth for the gun industry and an untapped market.
I do this as much as possible. I work as a junior high science / math teacher. I have a standing offer with everyone I work with to take them shooting. Unlike the "always carry, never tell" folks, I promote the right to self-defense and inform my co-workers of their ability to acquire a CCW legally and easily.
I have taken some of them shooting, at least 2 are contemplating a CCW, and some that never owned a firearm are considering the purchase of one. I have also drawn out several people who are gun owners but never mentioned it before out of fear. Now it's a topic of conversation that is openly discussed in a positive manner. Of course, this is Nevada; we're not doing this in NY, CA, MA, IL, WI--you get the idea..
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.--River Tam
