Same experience here. Over the last two months I've had a couple people from Church asking me about CHLs and guns in general. They first ask my father in law who is an assistant chief of police (I usually call him assistant to the chief
) but he just directs them my way instead (despite years in law enforcement he's pretty lax about guns, says he even forgets to bring his to work sometimes, I guess thats one of the hazards of a desk job). Hopefully i've talked a couple more people into it. I've at least educated a couple people who didn't know about the MPA act, which was a good first step.
