Handy, you are absolutely right. I know it sounds sacreligious on this board, but there actually are other things in life than guns. Take up something like photography along with shooting -- it is interesting, something else to talk about, and isn't threatening. It shows you as being more than a "1 trick pony" with a monomania. Read some. Go to the theater (not movies, but live) once in a while. Not only does it broaden your horizons, but it gives you something besides shooting to talk about.
It is entirely possible that you encounter someone who is neither pro-gun nor anti-gun, but just doesn't care much one way or the other. Such a person should not be discounted, but you will need something other than shooting to talk about if you are to have any chance with her.
