Nearly all of my hats and t-shirts are from gun manufacturers or organizations.
i would never wear anything with a logo on it.
i find people who identify themselves with brands silly.
+1000Never.
Nor do I advertise that my car may have a gun init. or my home. Most of my neighbors don't even know I'm a gun owner. I like it that way.
Edit to add; I don't believe in wearing any logo on clothing.
So a fish sticker, a NRA bumper sticker and adon't tread on me flag on the back of my pickup must mean I am one of those midwestern people clinging to my guns and bible. SerioualyI prefer not to adverise that I am carrying. 5.11 pants are great for IWB carry and a Hawian shirt doesn't print. Sometimes the sheeple panic at the sight or thought of a person with a gun.
Very true. One of the few exceptions I will make if for Ralph Lauren Polo wear and Nike wear (which I buy at one of the national cut-rate liquidators.) The quality of both in terms of materials and sewing combined with the low blow-out price is something I can't pass up.Agreed. I'd go as far as to say that social identity predicated on the ownership of a certain item is perhaps pathological.
I think to a certain extent all of the major firearms manufacturers are dipping their toes into the especially creepy practice of lifestyle branding.
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.
