I thought the sticker meant you were LE. If it means 'gun on board' then count me out. No advertising desired here.
Black Blue Black concealed carry sticker ? What's your take on those 2x2 inch stickers on rear bumpers that are black/blue/black horizontal bars that mean that you have a concealed weapon in your car?
I see lots of them when I am in Arkansas on the rear of vehicles, supposedly to inform law enforcement that there is a gun on board. LEOs have that info in their LEO data base and those stickers just tell everybody else that your secret gun is now known by the public.
Just like NRA stickers..... "I have guns, follow me home and rob my house later."
Many times I have asked people in gas stations, "what kind of gun do you have?" and they look at me like I am nuts, wondering how I know they have a gun.
Some say, "none".
Some say, "oh, that means that I used to be a LEO"
Some say, "My dad put that there so the cops wouldn't hassle me."
Seom say, "I put that on there so the drug dealers wouldn't approach me." = college student
Some say, "oh my uncle is a state cop and he put that there so cops won't give mea ticket."
One said, "My son is the chief county investigator and he put that there so LEOs would leave me alone."
I don't know about you but to me advertising that I have a weapon is NOT what I call smart. Other threads will show that I personally probably would never open carry= just my personal choice.

OH, some people have them on the front also.... supposedly so that if they are approaching a road block the LEOs will be informed. duh.

police Thats the thin blue line. Its supposed to mean youre law enforcement, not a ccw holder. It has nothing to do with permit holding and youre not supposed to have one unless youre a cop.
It's S.T.U.P.I.D.

When I was in Arkansas I asked local, sheriff, and AR State Police about the sticker (I also called the ASP headquarters), and each time was told that the sticker means NOTHING OFFICIALLY, and that they ignore them, beyond the initial sighting knowing that the car driver WANTS to brag about his gun. Each LEO has told me that the sticker carries no authority in their assessment of the traffic stop, ........ one expressed that he thought the stickers were "generally stupid idea".
The only ones I know that have those type of decals are law enforcement. I would not want one for fear of someone asking me if I was a leo and I get say no, I like the sticker.
What state and what official sanction?
