My opinion is the anti-carry / anti-gun population is separated broadly into 2 groups. Those that have a near religious objection and those that are uniformed or otherwise unfamiliar with statistics or that LTC'ers are the most law abiding segment of the populations. My friends most definitely fit this model. For those of in the later category, it's possible to have a rational discussion and they usually at least get to a point of being neutral to the idea of carry. For the former though, I actually think it's impolite to even try to have the discussion as it would be like discussing abortion/climate change/religion/which cola brand they prefer. For these friends who know I am a 2A supporter, we've sort of gotten to the point there it's just not discussed. They know/suspect I carry, but I don't advertise or advocate in their presence, and they don't argue against firearm related issues.
