In my dating days I know I converted a few from anti gun to pro gun. My wife was a hard core democrat. Took her shooting several times. As our relationship got more close I bought her a 9mm and a AR. For my wedding gift she bought me an AR10. At first she was very hesitant but as she realized how much fun shooting was she changed. 10 years now and no issues with my 2nd beleifs. She loves the fact that when were out and about I am CC. As I note I work in education, so I make it a point to take other fence sitting friends out to the range when I can. Nothing makes me more proud than when they join our ranks.
