I leave the subject alone, unless someone asks me a question or for advice. I generally have an idea where people stand, and unless you already know I shoot/carry there is no reason for you to know. My Wife and I come from two very different worlds and upbringings...She does not like guns, but has come to accept their validity as a tool. Eventually she approached me to teach her how to handle a firearms, and is a very impressive reaction shooter. She still does not like them, but admits she feels safer when I am carrying.
