I think that we, as a group, filter out the world into people like "us" and antis. But that's not the case... hard core antis are actually not that common. Much more common are "know-nothings" that know what they are spoon-fed by the mass media. Those are the people I am trying to reach. When you make them understand that it's volunteers who stand between them and (fire, medical emergency, etc) because there are not enough full time professionals to be everywhere, everytime and can leverage our interest in self defense to one of community defense you can build a cognate set of ideas and may be able to reach them.
It's just one tool in the rhetorical bag. My frearms battles are no longer won on the range in competiton. My firearms battles are now won one housewife at a time. Right now I could care less about 2nd amendment proponents who can shoot. Far more valuable to be able to TALK.
