As I read that this morning, I couldn't help but think, DUH!! Who would have thunk that???

That goes for the inane "Trespassers will be shot" signs, too.
They thought it more subtle than the rifle racks of our youth.
Although I like such signs and get a chuckle out of some posted
I told my buddies at work years ago
No good can come out of the cute signs posted on your trucks or property with the warning about any shooting
And latly I have see many of the gun channels on youtube backing my thoughts up
Suggesting if you happen to confront and shoot any one
the prosecutor will say you were just waiting on the Chance to shoot some one and Looking for a chance based on the will shoot threat songs posted
I know total horse hockey but in today's world the bad guys have advantage in many of the liberal courts
And the break ins like you say a no brainer crooks will play the odds with all pro gun or nra and similar decals
You make a better choice /target for them to find a gun to steal
also with such decals parked out side a gun free store or area increases the odds they know you will have to leave you gun in the car
I have no stickers on my truck or car about guns or politics. My truck has a Cummins high mileage sticker on a side window and both the Kia and the truck have the AOPA stickers on the side windows.
You have opened yourself up to a lot of problems with the anti aircraft faction ........................................ 🙄
Lion's Club Sticker on My SUV.
And about half the Members at our meetings in rural KY, are packing a piece.
My NRA Life Member sticker is on the door of my safe. I will not put a gun-related sticker, decal, or message on my vehicles or anywhere on my property.
It pays to keep a low profile in todays crazy world. Even then, there are unforeseen risks that make us better off keeping our radar up everywhere we go.
One of my favorites is a yard sign that reads something like
I protect my family and property with a firearm just a warning
However my neighbor hates guns and refuses to have one in his house
SeaBees/USMC sticker on my old truck has turned a few speeding tickets into warnings.
It pays to keep your head down in a war. We are war whether some know it or not.😐️
Several years ago stickers and T shirts and such were cool.
Now days, I don't advertise
As a FBI agent told me, window stickers are way too much info for public view
whether it be guns, pets, or family members.
Police were pulling over folks for drunk driving in nearby liberal crap hole of a city.
Drivers were not drunk but their bumper was wearing Trump bumper stickers.
Libtards were calling 911 and the driver of such and such car was driving drunk.
Who would have thunk.
Agreed.......Besides Gun stickers, the dumbest thing folks put on their vehicles is how many family members they have. It may be cute, but it certainly gives away too much information. I attended a few homicide training programs(no not where they teach you how) and there were numerous examples of bad players noticing or using that info to pick out victims.
The less info given out the better.
I want one that says "On welfare and supported by HUD"
I have a Smokey Bear sticker. Seems safe enough.
I try to avoid places that have the no guns allowed signs posted.
Seems to be an invite for the mass shootings that take place.
I've never heard of a mass shooting at a gun show. (anti-gun people just don't see the difference)
Archie Bunker suggested that to reduce airline hi-jacking the airlines should give everyone a gun as they boarded the plane instead of taking guns away. The Hi-jacker would then know he was outgunned and go elsewhere.
Archie for President. He has my vote.
That's true ^^^^
Many years ago my aunt asked why she had seen my car where I had no business being. I asked if she was sure it was me and she said she recognized it by the college sticker in the window. I've never put stickers of any kind on a car since.
I disagree with #1.......I carry everywhere. The "no Guns allowed" is like saying "free Lunch".
I think around here, you're more likely to get broken into if you DON'T have some sort of gun sticker on your rig. They'll think you're a leftist loon and try to run you out of town.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I have seen all types of cars trucks an especially trails with stickers all over them. The trailers at guns shows i attend are covered with the different kind of advertisements. To me that is an open invitation to come take my stuff. Years ago the old guys would say never stop to eat or get a room until you were atleast an hour or more drive away from the show venue as not to get robbed. Putting stickers on is the same as lifting a truck,putting loud pipes on your car. you are putting yourself in the publice view. Dont draw attention to yourself.
