Everyone tends to go about things differently. I try to be nice but straight forward about it, but recently I wanted to share some success that go beyond that type of discussion.
My boss and his wife are both really nice people. Both are first generation immigrants as well. They are definitely the type that is heavily influenced by news media and so forth. In some ways they definitely lean a little bit left.
Personally I can see how much they allow CNN et al influence them and the way they think.
Fast forward to today and I just taught both of them to shoot guns for the very first time. Over time they eventually asked me if I knew about it so I said yes and offered to teach them. They heard a lot of BS about guns in general including suppressor use/ownership.
Where I work has a lot of undeveloped land and forest within a few hundred feet, so we walked over into the woods and I had the wife and the husband both shoot a suppressed P322 and a suppressed P226.
Anyway it was overall a resounding success on all levels. The wife had a lot more questions about guns which I answered. Some of them were clearly derived from watching left wing news outlets but most of those myths got debunked in the first 5 minutes.
After we were done I let them safely handle the guns and the suppressors which they both thought were cool AF.
I didn't go too far into the weeds, but I did do some safety training like how to unload a gun or check if it is loaded. Obviously I made them aware of muzzle awareness as well.
Overall everything went great and everyone enjoyed it a lot.
