I'm for enabling people to defend themselves, but not in showing favoritism. It will simply encourage them more to vote for the candidate who gives them more freebies.

It's a private business doing what they wish. It's not a government handout. I've offered discounts and free classes to people to whom I choose to volunteer my time.

I agree, sir. I own and operate a business, too. I also strive to be fair and equal to everyone. No, it's not a government handout, that is true...but that does not mean that is how it will used nor perceived by them. While it may open their eyes to the importance of their right to keep and bear arms, doing it for free will further enforce their perception that they deserve special recognition because of their genital preference

I think you are putting too much thought into it. Yes, it is true that heterosexuals are also murdered and victimized, but highly doubt they are victimized nearly as much just for being heterosexual. Who cares if a private business wants to offer free classes? It is also helpful in breaking typical gun owner stereotypes that paint us as a bunch of old, fat, white, Christian, homophobic, racist, rednecks. In any case, it is not as if the state doesn't already provided reduced and free applications to people in select demographics.
