Sounds like a good place for an OpenCarry.org meeting. They will often meet in communities that are ignorant. Open carrying to help people over come their fear of seeing exposed guns. They recently had a picnic in a Kitsap county park with really good results.

This also sounds like a good place for you to OC help the lady adjust as it seems her fear is based upon not seeing guns carried by citizens. She may be totally ignorant about guns. Once she begins to see them as common attire on some folks her fears may subside. She may ask questions and become informed
