I had to share this great license plate.

In early 2004 my wife and I were shopping around for a contractor to build a custom home for us on land we had purchased. We made the rounds, looked at models, talked to people etc. We settled on a style of construction we liked and talked to the builder and his foreman. He wanted to see the property in question before serious negotiations got under way. We of course had no problem and gave him directions and a time to meet at the property. When we arrived the builder stepped out of his SUV, the plates on the back were personalized and read RKBA. I asked him if they were an indicator of his views regarding firearms. He was surprised for a moment that I even knew what the acronym was. We soon discovered that we are both life NRA members. I bet you could find this same personalized plate in many states.
 
What law is there that says that smash and grab artists and car thieves aren't smart? Maybe they make bad choices, but that doesn't mean they don't read THR, subscribe to American Handgunner, reload, etc...

I won't put an obviously gun-related sticker or plate on my car, but RKBA is not one of those. What sense does it make to worry about the very slim possibility that the one slimeball who reads L&P and steals guns and/or cars is going to see my car? Not only that, but see my car in a place and time where he has the opportunity to boost it or its contents?

Needless worry.
 
Oh, good job, xrayboy. Now old4x4 knows which cars to go after and rob.

:D ROFL Now everyone in the airport is staring at me wondering why I just broke out into laughter looking at my cell phone....
 
You know... if I hadn't told him I get the feeling he would have figured it out for himself anyhow. But if old4X4 actually steals a gun from a car with a RKBA license plate just send me the bill. Now collecting on that bill will be an entirely different matter.
 
What makes you think a criminal is going to know what RKBA means?

Do you think all criminals are big, dumb, neanderthals with a first grade education? If a crimmy is staring down a cold barrel, I have this strange feeling the crimmy's gonna know what it means.
 
I believe one of the mods over on the SIGforum has this plate on a BMW. Maybe you caught him on camera? I'm not sure of his state of residence.

Well, just to play devils advocate, why bother to carry a gun period? It is extremely unlikely that you will ever need it to begin with. I didn't qoute the part of your comment where you said you don't put yourself in bad positions (paraphrased, obviously), and thats excellent thinking. I don't either. I still take the basic precaution of carrying a gun anyway, even though chances are very slim I will ever need it.
 
Does mine say gun inside? It does, but its on my hip and not left in my truck.

That's my car!

Hi, all! A friend sent me mail to let me know I'd been "made." That's my BMW with the RKBA plate, it does indeed refer to the Second Amendment, not something else, and for those who like the idea of women with guns, here I am!

I first had that plate when I lived in the People's Republik of Massachusetts where no one knew what it meant because there is no Second Amendment there. I was quite pleasantly surprised to discover it was still available in Washington when I moved here in 2002. I expected that in a "gun friendly" state like this, it'd have been long gone. I chose that plate hoping it'd be recognized by other shooters but would not attract unwanted attention from others outside our community. That's pretty much what's happened, though I'm occasionally a little surprised and disappointed when I run into another shooter who doesn't get it and needs to be prompted.

That car has definitely been filled with guns at times, including my trip out here: I drove because that was the one inexpensive way to get that many guns cross-country. The whole car was jam-packed with them! These days, the car usually only has one or two guns in it at a time, but that does happen several times a week. Folks who know me at Kenmore Range in Bothell can attest I'm pretty active in both pistol and rifle competition and as an NRA instructor. They'll probably also tell you I'm pretty much the extrovert and general nutball.

Regards,
Nicole

Oh (feel stupid). Thanks for the reply. There'll be no breaking in of anything but new guns. I've seen it a bunch of times, but now it's crystal clear.
 
Nicole,

Welcome. This is one of the best firearms forums around. People here generally do take the "high road" and there are some very knowledgeable folks here.

Hi Nicole,
Welcome to the forum. One of these days, I may get down to check out the Kenmore range. If you're there, I'll say hi.

ShooterM -

It's not just backward, it's mirror image. It's intended for the driver in front.

Similarly, I recently saw a jacked up F250 with "Slower traffic keep right" across the top of his windshield, in mirror image.
