Do you have pro-gun bumper or window stickers?

I had always felt it was important to show the general public that there are many of us who support the 2A and are pro-gun rights. But recently I read an article from Suarez that essentially said anyone who gives this type information to anyone who looks at his vehicle is pretty foolish. A BG seeing such bumper stickers might follow me to my house, then wait for the right opportunity to break in, on the reasonable assumption that I have guns in the house. The more I thought about this the more I started to agree with Suarez. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the stickers off my car's bumper while it's so cold out, so I guess I wait until spring to try again.

I don't advertise that I might have guns at my house

I have never been able to see the advantage of having an NRA sitcker on my vehicle. To me the potential disadvantages far outweigh any satisfaction I might get from trying to annoy anti-gun people.
 
Cover them with PETA stickers.

Seriously though, I'm not too sure about the likelihood of John P. Hoodlum driving by your vehicle in the parking lot, seeing the sticker, and then immediately seizing upon the vague opportunity to lay up and watch you for hours, not knowing when you'll be back, having nothing else to do, then follow you to your house undetected, watch you undetected for more untold hours, and then break into your home knowing that the inhabitants have guns which often hurt people who break in.

I can see the line of reasoning, but am not convinced it is valid. Isn't it true that criminals are more afraid of citizens with guns than anything else?
 
Yes, but..

Yes (in addition to my US Flag and Gulf War Vet stickers) I do but, in the neighborhood where I reside I do not want to draw too much attention to the fact that I have guns.

I therefore have a Molon Labe sticker (written in Greek and captured from someone's post on THR, no less!)
 
As much as I'd like to make a statement, I prefer not to call attention to myself with political statements or otherwise. And it says "break in to my car first - there may be gun to steal there." And it means a possible search at the Canadian border when I visit there or pass through.
 
I have an NRA sticker on the front windshield. However, I don't ever put any type of 'bumper stickers' on my auto. First, I don't like my car being used as a rolling billboard. Second, I don't like being a target, which bumper stickers seem to turn my car into.
 
While I don't think that obvious "Gun Type" stickers are a good thing to have, the back of my car has a small plaque where the model insignia used to be. The plaque has "DVC" on it.
On a speeding ticket the officer filled in Make NISSAN - Model DVC!
 
I don't have any stickers on my car. I'm not sure it's a good idea to have stickers. Perhaps that officer that may pull you over may have some personal prejudices against John Q. Public owning firearms. I know people who had "legalize marijuana" stickers get hassled; I'm not putting myself through that.

I have a TAPCO sticker on my truck, which is sort of a gun sticker, since it has a rifle on it.

Really, I just wanted to comment on the above. Weed is currently illegal. Guns are not. If a cop pulls me over to hassle me about my gun sticker, or even hassles me about it while I am pulled over for something legitimate, there is going to be an official letter of complaint written to the department the second I get home (or to the station, if it's close enough). I have no problem with the cops and have always been friendly and cooperative when I have gotten pulled over, but I am not going to allow some jerk that happens to be in a position of authority moralize to me.
 
Got an NRA Life Member plate on the front, NRA Life Member stickers on front and back windshields, a "W" in 2004 decal in the corner of the rear windshield, and a "Calvin" decal, pissin on the local newspaper!
...Other than that, I try to be politically correct as much as possible.:D
Somebody doesn't like it, they can follow me home and tell me all about it.
:p
 
Wrong way to advertise

I have no gun-related stickers, that trivializes the idea. We must treat gun rights in the proper fashion; we must assume our gun rights and protect our rights through the electoral process. We should be armed and vigilant. We do not need to advertise our 2nd amendment interpretation on a bumper sticker.

Try a hair dryer or heat gun.

No stickers of any kind on my vehicles that didn't come from the factory.
 
IIRC, about 15-20 years ago in Portland, OR, after a series of gun burglaries from homes, they caught the woman burglar. Her method was to follow home someone with an NRA sticker, then return when the house was empty.

Can't get your sticker off? Cover it with another kind.

yeah, it says "Ron Paul 2008"

oh, and an NRA sticker too
 
Put them on the back window, not the paint!

They wouldn't find guns in my car, they go with me. At home, they will have to deal with my safe and my neighbors. My money is on me coming out ok. ;-)
 
"The Second Ammendment, America's Original Homeland Security".:DI don't mind advertising that I am pro-gun, someone doesn't like it, they can piss off.:D
 
I have a "no sticker" policy for my vehicle. I don't put any types of decals or stickers on it, political or otherwise. I just don't like to wear my politics on my sleeve, so to speak.
