I said no, but then I wear a belt...but I would wear a belt anyway so that doesn't count. That I open carry probably is enough statement anyway.

I voted no but sometimes I do wear a hat with Kongsberg logos on it. Seriously doubt though many if any folks that have seen it even know who or what they make/do 
I'd rather deter the situation from happening at all.

I wear a leather custom gun belt. Occasionally I will wear a cap with something like Remington on it. But generally I seldom wear advertising for any companies

Only at the gym. I have one Sig Sauer t-shirt. Otherwise, no tip offs.

I regularly wear my NRA t-shirts, Springfield Armory t-shirts, Dilllon t-shirts, and Gunsite hats.

No T shirts,hats or bumper stickers. I really feel no need to advertise anything about myself to others that I don't know.

Often. I like to fish, hunt, and shoot and I couldn't care less who knows and if that upsets someone, too bad.

I prefer to be just another tall middle-aged white guy in a white shirt and khakis. Very few people are observant or articulate enough to describe me in a way that's distinguishable from hundreds of other men in town right now.
My truck is just another not-quite new explorer/ suburban/ ram/ what's the toyota thing? you know, one of those... the color is... dark, and the hubcaps are silverish.... no noticable body damage, or stickers... not sure if it had a brushguard or not... get the idea?

I own a hooded jacket that shows a red, white, and blue AR-15 on it and it bears the text "I defend my rights, God help those that doubt me". I haven't worn it in a while, but I used to wear it to school all the time.

Never, for reason very eloquently explained by others.

No. Same reason I don't wear a PS3 shirt, a Samsung TV shirt, Sears tools shirts, or an LG phone shirt. These companies don't pay me to advertise for them.

I voted "Yes" but only for the S&W ballcap I wear everywhere.
I have a Knights Armaments Tshirt but I've only worn that once.
Other than that, incognito. No bumper stickers. My handguns travel in a "nongunny" looking plain toolbox.

I do but only while out shooting. Day to day outings I don't wear any.

I got a camo & black mesh Remington hat. I got it because it was $3 and it's comfortable. The logo is a big R in their script, doesn't actually say Remington. I also have a belt that has 12ga bases all around it (or metal slugs stamped to look like 12ga bases).
Been on the lookout for an SA XD polo, but that's about it. Nothing on my car or visible from my apartment that indicates I own firearms, and all weapons are carried to/from the car in cases.
All that said, I open carry most of the time, so it's not likely to be the clothing that would alert someone to my gun ownership (if they even notice).

Change that to jeans or cargo pants and a golfing shirt or carhartt tea shirt. I have to admit I wear a lot of Carhartt stuff and each one has the logo on it.
But I avoid the gun stuff.

I was at a big gun show today. There were lots of signs, bumper stickers, apparel, etc., for sale with gun-related logos and slogans that were offensive and/or in poor taste ("Kill 'em all and let God sort them out," "S&W does my talking," etc.). I don't know who buys this stuff but a lot of people apparently do. Just think of the poor image of gun owners that this projects to the general public. With the ongoing political struggles for RTKBA, we can't afford to alienate anyone.
I completely understand the desire to not telegraph one's force multiplier and to blend into anonymity. Devil's advocate, however: don't we owe it to the 2A cause to show that sane, responsible citizens who own firearms are everywhere? Perhaps if more people regularly saw the clean, intelligent person at the bank/ gas station/ post office wearing a "Team Glock" T-shirt, they would stop thinking of firearms as so exotic and nefarious.
I agree that those shirts are stupid, but I don't see anything wrong with ordinary company logos or your favorite model/platform.

I have a family friend who owned a gun shop, and I wear a shirt that had his logo on it often. I'm certainly not against wearing gun company logos, or anything like that. But I also wear brand name clothes like Nike and what not.
