Bullet hole stickers a controversial fad

[pcf]

There's nothing quite like free advertising, this is the first time I've heard of this......but as with many controversial things its usually someone griping that makes it known.

I've got a couple of bursts on the tire carrier on the back of my van.

And I had a few random clumps on the Critter Gitter. Coupled with the matte camo finish, they looked REAL.

...and then there are those people you TRY to get mad... but wont....

I got a few of these things and one day I stuck them on the camper shell of my Dad's truck (he works as a local rangemaster). I was fully expecting him to think they were real and then get p.o.ed at me for doing it.

Of course it didn't work out that way. Turns out the ol coot had a sense of humor about it! DAWGONE IT!

He has left them on all this time and parks so as people at the range can see the darn things.

piffle...

I've seen 'em on a ricer, but that's it. It looks pretty dumb on this particular car, but maybe they'd look better on trucks.

No, and I'm not putting fake rust decals on my car, either.

I used to drive an old rusty 1970 Malibu in high school. It had a real shotgun blast in the back bumper.

Makes me want to get a beater truck and take the tailgate off, hang it, and use it for target practice w/ the shotgun. I figure a box of slugs and a box of 00buck should do the trick.

Then I could get out about 100yds from it and shoot it w/ a .22, for the dents. Then I could say it was some gang-banger with a wondernine. The big holes are a .45.

Anyone got a grenade? I could take off the bed of the truck and put it in the corner...

Good for him, hope he makes a million at it! Good old American entrepenorial spirit.

No Gregory, a Clinton/Gore sticker sends the wrong message. Fake bullet holes are irrelevent.

Personally, I think fake bullet hole stickers are tacky as all get out. But if they give other people warm fuzzies, I've got no problem with it.

As for this idiot:

"It sends the wrong message to our young people," said Gregory Wims, president of the Victims' Rights Foundation in Maryland.

He merrily goes about proving that the left can be just as puritanical as the right.

Hmmm, would Ogre still hate fake bullet hole stickers if we put 'em over top a Clinton/Gore or other leftista sticker?

I have a real one in my truck! I was at a gas station on the edge of SE D.C. and I hear pops and then a smack against my truck. I walked around and looked and said "Well No Sh*t" and finished pumping and left for home. No one has ever pointed it out to me or said a thing! Just goes to show ya.

Umm, if my ride starts aquiring extra holes I am not gonna stick around for the rest of my gas. Probably why I never buy gas in D.C. in the first place.

One of the southerners (MA) at my hotel had them on his car when he checked in. We were shootin the ???? and I asked him if hed rather have real holes for free. Funny reaction: He laughed at first, but then apparently remembering where he was, looked over the counter at my hip bulge. I just smiled. His smiled kinda faded. I'm not sure if he knew I was kidding.

I think a .22 at 100 yards will go thru a tailgate.

 

[Azrael256]

My car is a really dark blue. Do you think they would still work? I could put them in between the "Kick ???!" bumper sticker and the "On the 8th day God created beer" one.

They are quite popular at National Street Rod Association shows

I did see a guy this spring at the street rod nationals in Springfield, MO who had actual bullet holes in the tail gate of his pickup.

I just wrote, and then deleted, a long post about a real bullet I got in the rear driver-side door of my car. I'll just say that I hate "political correctness," because it doesn't tolerate fake bullet holes, and it even prevents a discussion about real ones.

Still, I thought that bullet hole was kinda cool, and I never got it repaired. By the way, it was just a small hole; it looked nothing like the fake ones.

I strung a line of them across the mirror on my parents' dresser in 1964 or 65. It was next to the closet where my dad kept his guns and my mom didn't think it was funny when she got home from work. My dad got a chuckle out of it though.

(Note: My guns were in my closet. That's the way things were back then.)

i drive an old police cruiser, and i think they would look great put in little bursts along the side and rear of the car

Now there's an idea!

Bullet hold stickers on the Hillary/Clark '04 sticker. Do you think you'd get some attention with that?

 

[Guntalk]

I sneaked in and put a string of these along the fuselage of a friend's 1945 Beech 18.

He loved it! Keeps 'em on there and gets lots of comments. Flying too low, you know.

"Yeah, I just got back from Mexico, and was having to stay just over the tree tops, and . . . "

My girl friend went with me to a shooting match. There were a few cars there that had bullet hole decals.I didn't mention any thing at the time . Later at dinner she mentioned it, she thought they were real ! I asked , 'where did you get that idea ? '. She shrugged and said ' they're shooters '

Maybe Malvo and Muhamad didn't like your ride.
