    One at a time, but hopefully my dream of everyone being armed will transpire before I die!
    Funny you mention that 10mm, the range was swamped on Friday and 2 friends of mine and several more from my GFs work called me to get training for CCW. Its bad that they are doing it as a knee jerk reaction but good that folks are starting to understand that self protection is everyone's right and that the government cannot protect you, its your responsibility to be prepared to protect yourself and your loved ones. (and in my estimation anyone else who's life who is threatened )

    Do many people open carry in Trinidad? I haven't noticed anyone yet.

    I have found it best to stay away from ideological or philosophical arguments when debating the indoctrinated. I put things in simple terms. For example, it's not guns that are bad, its the bad guys who use them illegally...otherwise we would not be calling cops with guns to respond to crime. I also show the negative effects of bans by asking what side of a state/county line you would rather cross in order to rob someone...the side with a concealed carry law or the one with an outright ban?

    In the end, it boils down to mistrust. Anti-gunners trust cops to have guns, but not law-abiding citizens, because they don't think of us as law abiding citizens, but as folks who are one lost job or argument away from becoming a killer. The more we interact with the public responsibly, the more we can remove this bias.

    Yes, I have seen a few open carrying in town. I had asked one of our local LE's about OC and was reminded as long as the firearm is in plain view, no problem.

    I had the drive through chick at Mcdonalds see my my Instructors sticker and promptly ask me how much and when. At least some people are starting to want to protect themselves.
