    My only exception would be my Fraternity letters. People need to know that if they mess with me they get the whole family. K A P P A D E L T A R H O R H O KAPPA DELTA RHO!

    I had to re-read this because I have a brand new NRA sticker and would really like to show my support. I will admit that I have never spotted an NRA sticker displayed in the hug & go zone. Sometimes it is real hard to be a silent supporter of what you believe in.

    If you wish peace, plan for war. And the inverse" If you plan for peace, you will have war." good fences make good neighbors. Speak softly but carry a big stick. All of these relate to strength held in reserve. Not advertised, but not hidden. Obviously defensive. Cover your 6.

    Interesting post. I had always kind of wondered why some people advertise so much on cars. My new car is devoid of stickers, but I admit my old car still has a few funny stickers. Still, I am sure information could be gleaned. I did skip anything political, however.

    The NRA sticker is still on my car but I quickly scraped the Trump sticker off my car after a crazy person scared me.

    Miss information and disinformation.
    The guy that suddenly walk up to my wife's VW new beetle from behind concealment when I was getting cash out of the ATM one evening sure wasn't expecting to have a sig pointed at his face.

    Usually when I see this topic it's directly related to concealed carry and how not to obviously look like you're carrying a gun. I've watched random people give me the once over when I wore my NRA hat shopping at Walmart or to church.

    When I'm out I observe the people around me and when I see a "tell" (Glock hat, Kimber logo on the shirt, Rigger belt, 5.11 pants) I look a little closer and I almost always "see" a gun. I'm certain I'm not the only person who does that. Someone in a similar thread on another forum said dressing like that sends a soft "quack" and I don't want to quack at people.

    This applies to more than just guns though. My coworkers don't know where I live, they don't know the details of my off time, in fact if I can get through a shift without starting a non work related conversation I'm good with that.

    As for my neighbors, I live in an apartment complex. People come and go all the time and I know nothing about them. I don't know who's a tweaker or has friends who are tweakers. We had a neighbor who moved into an apartment a "friend" of my wife's used to live in who came back later and told my wife that for the first 90 days she lived there she had people knocking on her door trying to buy at all hours. She finally put a sign on her door that said "KAT DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE".

    So around the house we don't advertise. No NRA stickers, no gun related clothing, no open carry because why make my home a target for burglary?

    I take it a step further in that try not to wear clothes with logos of any kind. The older I get the more I find that I’d rather not invite random strangers into my world. And I’ve also been around long enough to figure out that one of the best ways to invite people in to my world is to have a shirt or a hat or a sticker on my car with a logo on it that they disagree with. Maybe no one ever will burglarize my home because I have an NRA bumper sticker on my car but I wouldn’t put it past someone to slash all 4 of my tires in a parking lot because of it.

    I wear hippy yuppy shirts that say crap like VW or "California".
    No one expects a guy wearing a VW shit driving a bug to be packing heat.
    Now I just need some Burnie and hillery magnetic bumper stickers.
    The thought of an "I'm with her" bumper sticker on my car is just about enough to make me throw up a little.
