I like it allot
It won;t matter, the Greens and GCA want all out guns gone. And they;re coming after them all soon. Luckily for us, shooters are becoming aware and united, if we stick together and fight, then there is no reason to hide what guns we have.
I can't tell you mates what to do. Every situation is different, and I am not there on the ground. But I can tell you this.
The US went through a very dark period of gun laws from about 1968 to the early 1990s. One of the reasons was, in my opinion, great swaths of the country (especially Eastern and Western seaboards) would not talk about firearms in public. Somehow we came to believe that if we talked about them it would upset our neighbors, or people would rob us, or if our kids knew we had them then they would go looking for them and shoot themselves or others.
Now, with everybody speaking about guns in hushed tones, nobody thinks guns are normal. Obviously, there can only be two types of people that own guns. Hunters and whackos. Competition shooters are sort of a weird bird that nobody can figure out. And while the majority of American households had guns, many polls consistently said otherwise (including a famous one that is rigged). Now that nobody likes guns, only a few odd people and hunters that live in the shadows and speak in hushed tones own guns, and everybody knows not to talk about it, they came after us. Why the heck not? Who was going to fight back? And if you won't even tell your neighbor you own a gun, how are you going to get him (and his kids) interested in firearms? You're not.
The pendulum swung. They pushed us too hard and during the late 80s and certainly the 90s we started fighting back. And it is only accelerating. In more populated areas (where we used to have these problems) they are putting up new gun ranges like Starbucks. Everybody is carrying guns, the AR-15 is the most popular rifle in the nation and has been for 15 years, even back before our Assault Rifle Ban expired.
I've posted this before, here is a concealed carry license map of the US as it has changed over about the last 30 years. Keep in mind this is only about concealed carry, open carry has been legal in most states almost forever. But it still serves as a good barometer.
Again, I am not there and I can't tell you what to do. But in the US we learned that maintaining our rights requires a community, and new generations of shooters, and indoctrinating people into the shooting sports, and even talking to people that don't like guns calmly and sincerely and getting thereby they convince THEMSELVES to at least not hate us and in some cases turn around. Remember, not every anti you know is dyed in the wool. Most are simply anti by default. Your government has made that the default condition. They simply need to have their questions answered sincerely and diplomatically. Never give up an opportunity to talk about this stuff, and never try to push it on people. You will find they will warm up better when it is their own decision, when they trust you as a resource that will not try to argue with them. And always offer to take them shooting
I've honestly never heard a story of an anti that didn't enjoy it. They may have said it was frightening, or some other touchy feely crap, but they all say they enjoyed it at some level and at least might consider doing it again
