Always be ready to inform and teach as you chit chat.
Was chatting with a known conservative friend, who keeps up with current events and politics. The conversation turned to the new Texas Constitutional Carry law.
She is a gun owner, has her carry permit.
She expressed concern about Texans being able to now carry guns without any training or licensing requirement. Was concerned it might be kind of crazy.
I let her know that Texas is the 20th state in the nation to have this law.
She had no idea. Local news certainly never makes that point. Never informs their viewers. It changed her entire outlook on it. She no longer has concern.
It’s possible she will, at some point in the future, be able to share this surprising information with others.
ALWAYS be prepared to teach and inform those with whom you are talking, in every context. Never assume that others know what you know.
