The only way to get people more comfortable with guns again is to expose them to them.

For long guns, yeah, that was 99.9% idiocy. Handguns are far less noticeable, and if you carry yourself like a professional and make an effort to present yourself well, people will assume that you're "allowed" to carry, if they even notice it. I usually wear dark polos and some sort of cargo shorts or pants (most likely pants if I'm OC'ing) so I doubt most people will even notice unless they're behind me in a checkout line or something. I'm often mistaken for a cop or military anyway
Of course, if you have an Uncle Mike's paddle stuck into your sweatpants... yeah... "He gotta gun y'all run!"
Attention whoring is obvious, and doesn't really elicit a positive reaction from anyone, even fellow gun owners, unless they're the same type of attention seeker.
