Your concern is not with like minded people (this forum, shops, etc) but with friends, family, others who don't have guns or are aquainted with firearms. You will get, "you took your child where?", or if something were to happen, "what were you thinking?". I was speaking with a soldier at work the other day who telling me about an incident in one of our office buildings where a guy had a gun in his desk and only got a citation. She was shocked to find out it is legal to carry a loaded firearm.
I personnally would have no problem taking my child into a gun shop. But then again, I didn't own a gun until she moved out.
