If only that were a simple task. It's not impossible, and certainly worth investment I'd say, but still expensive and daunting.
I do hope to be more politically proactive. When open carry bills failed this past season I really, really believed that one of the failures was that many people, who were essentially neutral on the issue all year(s) long because they didn't know it
was and issue, felt as though the issue was sprung on them at the last second. They didn't have time to think about it or form an opinion, and so they defaulted to not rallying behind the cause. IMO one of the best things people can do is start campaigning, in a non-annoying and non-confrontational way
right now, right after the open carry bills failed. If someone is headed to the voting box and sees some activists standing on a street corner holding signs supporting open carry, they aren't going to change their vote last second... But if they've seen you promoting open carry occasionally but consistently for the
past 3 years and they've come to know that you're a friendly, non-confrontational person they might consider your message. More importantly, they might have considered your message and developed a tendency to agree with you for quite some time before it came time to vote, so that they've formed and developed a position on the issue and come time to vote, may actually feel comfortable allowing the position/issue influence their voting decision.
