vehicle license plates

I think a thief is eligible for a mandatory five year sentence IN ADDITION to any other charges, if he steals a gun here in Ohio. Targeting guns for theft is not as popular here as it probably is in states that don't have that law. It might be the BEST gun law we have in Ohio.
 
I have an NRA, sticker on my rear window, and a sherriff dept shield that is given to people who donate to the dept, next to my plate on both cars. I don't give it much thought. I figure being it's a German luxoury car, if they are going to hit it, it could be for a hundred different reasons. Also a KNN filter decal on my rear side window. I don't park in lots, and it's in the garage at home so it would be difficult.
Last week driving in my friends car with NY plates, we did have an incident with an angry floridian who apparentlly didn't like people from NY. So who knows what sets people off.

True. Here, people tell new out-of-state residents "you better change that plate quick". It's pretty wierd. Pretty darn nice folks and 95% truly have come from elsewhere now but that's the thinking. Heck, one of our past Governors put up billboards or something saying "thanks for visiting, don't come back".
 
Certaindeaf,

Isn't that because people from other states came in and drove up the real estate prices?

But back to the topic I like to cruise in stealth mode.
 
Geez, I hope that bad guys don't see my USMC foil and follow me home hoping to steal my 1968 c-ration Pall Mall's. I see nothing wrong with the license plate and it helps the organization both in money and in advertising.
 
What percentage of the general public would even recognize something like
1911 A1 on a car tag? Everyone here would but then we are all gun enthusiasts. It is sort of like Bible verses on a car tag. Only people very familiar with the Bible would know what it means. Most people might know what GLOCKFAN means but how many would get something as obscure as AR15 68 or 03 A3?
 
When I was young(er) & stupid(er), living in Houston, fresh out of college, on my own, I thought it would be a smart deterrent to put an NRA sticker on my apartment window. I soon discovered while it keep bad guys away while you're at home, it was a clear invitation when you were gone to work. The most expensive mistakes are the best-remembered lessons. I've been COMPLETELY covert since then (1980).
 
I've had numerous NRA stickers & license plates on my vehicles since 1965 with no problem.
If that is a problem where you live you may want to move.

It just suggests to others they can find guns inside the house where this vehicle is parked. If that is OK with you, it is Ok with me.

Kinda like the cutsie bumper stickers saying "Driver only carries $20 worth of ammunition." I often wonder if these folks didn't get enough attention growing up. All that bumper sticker really says to me is "Don't tell me I'm going to be robbed, say nothing and shoot me in the head, then rob me, cause I'm carrying a gun." I kinda like being low key and having the element of surprise on my side.

Thank you, my feelings exactly on those that display.
 
Got the NRA sticker in the window and have so since the Jimmy Carter days. I guess it's all about where you live in the country. It's a shame people have to stay under the radar in such places, but it is what it is. I would do the same if I were living in such a place. But, thank God I'm not. I think I'll stay right here in redneck, hillbilly right wing extremist country. Where every other car has an NRA sticker or a Don't trend on me sticker. So sorry for you people who live among the PC bots.
 
If you walk with your tail between your legs too long, you might forget that you have one.

That should be a campaign slogan for someone.

Or at least a bumper sticker.
 
Certaindeaf - You must live in the Portland-Eugene area. Down here in S. Oregon it isn't like that. Except in Ashland of course. I have NRA stickers on my truck and car and Goldwing. There's a Gadsen "Don't tread on me" flag on the back of the bike. I also have a couple "Protected by Stag Arms" stickers with a picture of an AR on my Tracker. I think they'll get the idea. If they come after my guns it will be difficult to get them out of the safe especially with the switch underneath the safe wired to a very loud siren in the attic which is plenty loud outside. If someone manages to get the safe pulled off the bolts into the slab the siren goes off.
 
Here ln South Texas I'm not sure that displaying pro gun jrights vehicle license plates might make my truck a possible Target, however, I haven't seen any NRA or Tex. St. Rifle Asstn. Vehicle plates . I live 10 miles from Mexico border. The only plates I see are the original state issue and some personalized first name . That was the reason of my OP. I really like to get those plates, however because of the more Cons then Pros posts makes me hesitant and undecided. I might try them for 1 yr and see what happens, not convinced thou. Keep posting and educating me. (I'm having problems posting, I don't have Smart Phone or I'm doing something wrong) Thank you all.
 
Last night the ocupado stoned some big businesses here. Later on today it seems they have grand and spoken of plans. They really like BMW's and or heaven forbid a beater or pretty pickup with certain stickers. They are called anarchists and that's what they live for.
 
Target:confused: All vehicles are targets.

If you are worried about your vehicle being broken into, or stolen, don't leave anything in it. Don't leave anything visible, GPS units being the main target. Get a lock box for your valuables.

A Target while driving: your truck with tinted windows and Pro gun plate. Or my daily driver econ box with no stickers and clear windows that show just me. You might have a gun, and likely a bad target. Me, going to work, or going to the Forest Service land to go hunting with a loaded shotgun in the back seat and pistol in the passenger seat(legal in my state). I might look like the easy Target, verses the vehicle that publicizes their views. The BG has to roll the dice.

I bet that there is no data on crime with that plate. You could research your area and the make/model of your vehicle, to see the current trends. The local college/university recently saw a spike in vehicle break ins and thefts, with 2-3 vehicle a day being stolen. Vehicles are very easy to break into, with a slim jim and wire, maybe some wedges, I have only not been able to open one car in the past 15 years with out breaking anything. This is legal with the owner locking themselves out. Your vehicle is not a SAFE.

Side note: I see more and more NRA stickers.

You forgot about the potential vandalizing/specific targeting (murder and kidnap happen daily for essentially "no reason" ha.. why advertise where you go/do/live?) part brought about by simple advertising/stickers. Come on. Oh, I don't do facebook.
