Have you taken the NRA/pro gun stickers off your privately owned vehicles to avoid any harassment or vandalism.




........and have you experienced any confrontations,death threats or vandalism because of your pro gun support ??

No.

Those are the very reasons I carry. (With a hot chamber.) laugh

I'll be damned if I'll walk on eggshells to avoid pissing off the commies.

The last time I had an NRA sticker on a vehicle was about 10 years ago. Drove to Santa Fe, NM for an Alison Krauss concert. Came out the next morning in the Hyatt parking lot and someone had defaced the sticker, smeared what looked (and smelled) to be crap all over our license plate and windows and wrote a note accusing us of being "murderers".

Yep! Bumper stickers also make a vehicle look trashy in my opinion.


Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.

Last time I had any stickers on my truck, three gang bangers broke into it and stole firearms from it. No more stickers on any
of our vehicles.

I agree. Instead I wear T-shirts that say things like "Deplorable Lives Matter" or say insulting things in Arabic.

I'm just not going to change my lifestyle to appease those who cannot be appeased. smile

I had a interesting Interaction with a NJ state trooper at a rest area on the Jersey Turnpike a few years back. I came out of the building and found a NJ trooper looking in the windows of my vehicle. He spent several minutes looking in my vehicle with his flashlight and asking questions like whats in that bag, that cooler etc. All the while he had me by the front of the vehicle where he could keep me in his vision. He asked to look in the back of the SUV and I declined. He asked if I had any weapons or ammo in the car as well. I am pretty sure that it was the NRA life Member and CT Carry Stickers on the back glass that had him going. After that I went sticker free.

I've only twice seen a bumper sticker incite violence, or near it.

Once was years back. A buddy had a "Born Again Pagan" sticker on his truck. Some bible thumper took offense and took a beating when he kept running his mouth.

Second was just a year or two ago and involved my 80+ year old pop and a fat dyke with a sticker that said "Trump Is A C*u*n*t". That one was hilarious and I may have egged him on a bit smile

I was holding back tears as we drove away and my old man had both hands out the window giving her the bird.

No stickers at this time. Haven't been an NRA member in some time but about to sign every one of my family up as members.

My wife doesn't want anything on the rig that'll draw attention to us. I don't care about making political statements at all, but I am careful to not make it obvious we may have guns in the truck.

Answer to question:.................No

Never had them, or anything from any outdoor products company, archery, shooting, long time ago diving.

Good advertising for the rip-offs.

Only thing I have on truck right now is a USA sticker and a San Jose Sharks license frame.

I guess some rabid LA Kings or Anaheim Ducks fan could get upset and vandalize my vehicle, but there's not many out here where I live. grin

And the way things are going, the USA sticker might become problematic if I ever take the truck to a liberal bastion. Not here though.

I don't have stickers on my truck but I do make it a point to try to offend at least one person every day and usually before lunch. Today has been slow. This thread has motivated me.

Hell, driving a pickup and wearing a cowboy hat is enough to let them know who and what you are, down here.

I'm not gonna go rent a Prius and don a pussy hat to take a road trip. wink

If you're going to put a bumper sticker on your truck, don't put it on the back where they can plot against you behind your back and out of sight. Probably better put it on the front so they can read it as they go under the bumper.
