Gun manufacturer stickers on car

I don't have any stickers on my truck, for two reasons.

First, I don't want anyone to break in.

Second, as a rule, if someone wants to know more about me they should talk to me. I don't care much for bumper sticker politics in general, gun-related or not.

I'm not ashamed of my position on the 2A, so that's not the reason.
 
I stay away from any stickers or logos or brand names on anything I own.

Not for reasons of paranoia, but because it's just plain tacky.

I'm not advertising for anybody with my clothing or on my vehicles - not even the dealership I bought my vehicle from...

<chuckle> And I thought that I was the only one to take out the mineral spirits and care-ful-ly remove the dealer advertisement placard/sticker from the paint on the back of every new vehicle that I buy.

And, yes, afterwards I clean the spot and wax it. ;)
 
Here in Nazi Jerky the badged up bullies boys who are the police seem to believe that such stickers are an invitation to initiate a stop and attempt to coerce an illegal search.

I normally do not put stickers on my car, I don't care what other people think and I can't see them myself anyway.

I have made exceptions: Led Zeppelin sticker on my mom's '84 Buick Regal that I drove; Yes, Grateful Dead, and Texas diver stickers on the Bronco I drove in college, that's about it.

Recently though I considered a Ron Paul sticker for his constitutionalism and 'end the Fed' agenda; my buddy also has a very cool-looking Springfield Armory sticker with the crossed cannons (which is also a patriotic thing to me).

I think I may go with a "Sic Semper Tyrannis (Thus Ever to Tyrants)" with Lady Liberty standing over a slain king, or a rattlesnake "Don't Tread on Me" sticker, or the same artwork with "Don't Taze Me, Bro" considering the current climate of our police, er, nanny state. Then again, why taunt the reactionaries?

Maybe I'll just go back to Led Zeppelin...
 
I don't advertise. Period. It ain't being paranoid, it's being realistic. Why put a big "over here break into me" invitation on your car?

There for about a six month period about 2 years ago there was an SUV around here, had a New York tag, personalized "GLOCK 27". Where to start. First off, in a police state like New York seems to me that tag would yell "hey police man pull ME over" - since having a loaded accessible gun in the car is a felony in the PRNY. With this rotten shell of a pop culture society we live in today, you could pick up the paper tomorrow and read the headline: "gun stickers qualify as probable cause for search, says judge".

Second, what's to gain being that in-your-face boisterous about a gun?

Keep a low profile and make life easier on yourself.
 
I guess the NRA license plates are out?

I generally don't put any kind of stickers on my vehicles. You won't find a single "Protected by Smith & Wesson" sign anywhere on my property. All I say is different strokes for different folks. I doubt it makes much of a difference one way or the other.

"Amand, there's a gun sticker on that car, lets tail it and steal his guns when he's inside Walmart buying ammo."
 
The real point here is you can do what you individually want to do. Some choose to "advertise". I don't. I see absolutely no benefit to it. I leave money in the gun shops and I vote for the most conservative candidates. Since liberalism has permeated the conservative party the most conservative candidate nowadays might have a "D" behind his name.

I'd rather take action with my vote and my wallet then "advertise".
 
How does it go?

I may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean someone isn't out to get me.

With that being said, I do have three stickers on my vehicle, a decal for a performance rally event I help organize, my CERT team's sticker, and a small Trek bicycle sticker.
 
Personally, I don't have any stickers indicating my politics, religion, weaponry, or training. I think John Farnam calls it "stealth existence".

Strangers don't need to know anything personal about me.

I've got a small American flag sticker on my truck, but after reading this thread I'm gonna go razor-blade that thing off. I'd don't want any crazies to find out I'm American! :eek:

In fact, I think from now on I'm just gonna stay home with a shotgun pointed at the door.

I'm Proud of who I am and that I am an American. If someone Don't Like it, then they can KMA. Only a Intolerant, Arrogant, Person Will confront You about your Flag! Like John Rich said " If you don't like America you can Get the (H.E. Double Hockey sticks) Out"
 
Mine is a political thing more than a gun thing, but I guess it could be looked at the same way.

When I saw this phrase I immediately wanted to get more involved politically. Write some letters, make some phone calls, make my voice be heard. I also wanted others to see it, and maybe it would motivate them to do the same,

so I had a sticker made as big as would fit in the back window of my truck.

I'm convinced it has gotten me out of at least 1 ticket for 15 over the limit. Saw a motorcycle cop coming up fast from behind, he stuck on my tail for a moment then pulled around to the drivers side gave a big smile and a thumbs up.:D
 
My car doesn't wear any gun logos, but I do. To be honest, though, I only got it because it was extremely marked down at a Gander Mountain.

i'm like you grim... i have some smith&wesson shirts and i love to wear them in places like minneapolis or iowa city just to kinda put the gun ownership out there..... my car has some stickers on the windows that came with a donation or two to law enforcement outfits.... it's kinda fun to put the 2nd amendment rights into the faces of some of the folks who voted for "change".................................

LIFE IS SHORT.....
 
I realize I am a little late in this thread, but do have something to add. Some criminals do select victims based on what they observe on the vehicle. Just tonight we had a criminal damage to a car (slashed tires) that belongs to an "alternative lifestyle" couple. Rainbow stickers. Can we prove it? No. But it is the Pride in the Pines Festival this weekend so "hate crimes" will increase.

I have taken several police reports for home invasions where the victim was targeted for a specific possession of value, guns and jewelry in particular. Criminals are cowards for the most part, but it isn't that hard to wait for someone to leave before you break a window and make entry.

My advise to people, no stickers. Don't advertise.
 
I dont put any stickers on my car. I do wear some gun and nra clothing from time to time and I also have a Browning Deer symbol hanging from my mirror. When I was in high school, very rural (Spivey's Corner "The hollerin' captal of the world") look it up. A new girl transferd in who was very goth, which alot of the students were not used to. That was not the problem, as most of the students were very well mannered. The problem was she had a bumper sticker on her car that had a confederate flag with a big line crossed through it that said "you lost get over it". Now this girl knew no one from this school and she came from Pennsylvania I think with that sticker and another one with some anti country music stuff on it. I do not know if something happened in her past that gave her these feelings or what. I am still very supprised nothing ever happend to her vehicle but she obviously didnt make many new friends. I would not feel comfortable leaving my car with nra, S&W, ect... in the brady bunch parking lot or hope to be invited out to eat or socialize. I dont mess with people belongings, but alot of people do not see it that way. Like the hippies that went around a few years ago putting some kind bumperstickers on peoples suv's and trucks. :fire:
 
Totalitarianism in One City: Shreveport’s Gun-Grabbing Mayor


"Any time a motorist is stopped by a police officer, insists Shreveport, Louisiana Mayor Cedric Glover, "Your rights ... have been suspended."


"Baillio doesn't conceal his NRA membership; it's advertised by a sticker on the rear windshield of his truck, as are his very passionate views of the right to armed self-defense. "Armed We Are Citizens! Un-Armed We Are Subjects!" exclaims another bumper sticker, expressing a core truth of our republican heritage. Yet another sticker displays various kinds and grades of ammunition captioned by the directive, "Celebrate Diversity."

It's the safest of bets that what triggered the stop, as it were, was not a traffic infraction by Baillio, but rather the police officer's conditioned reflex to treat the public expression of pro-gun ownership sentiments as innately suspicious."
