I like the idea of casually dropping the NRA magazines in waiting rooms.
Hoorah for the suggestion from above.
A few years back in my state when CC came in, a bunch of businesses went ahead posting criminal friendly signs. They're all learning the lessons slowly: either they've been robbed or their alienated customer base is gone and the signs are quietly disappearing. Like so many, I've made it a point to voice my problems with the management and it works, it's not a taboo. The big union grocery store dropped its ban. Our tax guy erased his signs. Small victories.
I've been surprised to discover, contrary to the old feeling, where talking guns, religion and politics were the taboo subjects and the only open topic was the left wing smack talk of compassion... well guess what? I care about safety and so does everyone else (particularly women, like Rob says above). We always imagined that there'd be those grinding their teeth and going tsk tsk tsk in an attempt to shame us at any mention of guns - and if they exist, it's those people who are ashamed of themselves and scared. I am increasingly proud of our younger generations at how they resist and survive the morass of government education and the tyranny it imposes on them, kids may live with it until graduation but they don't accept any of it no more when they finally start growing up into adults. Adulthood comes with the ability to protect your own life and all the younger-than-me people I meet at work and outside end up very eager to learn and talk about guns and everything else. It helps to make the first move and to be a friendly example. Outreach, whooo hooo, the compasionate way.
