Might as well put an decal saying you are a diamond merchant. Just makes your car a target for thieves.
rmarcustrucker, very well put. I had just such an incident happen to me when my ex-wife and I had an argument and were seperating. She was looking to get me removed from our house immediately, instead of me having time to find a place to live, or being able to remain in my home and her having to move out. She learned I kept a gun at my father's house( A medic with SWAT and a CCP whose life was saved by being concealed/armed 5 years ago), to go and learn to shoot with him. Since we were seperating, and the fight started the day I bought the gun the last thing I wanted to say was "I have a gun" which she would have used to have me arrested for making threats I am sure. She used this to file a charge against me with the police, lying about the gun and claiming I was a danger to her. So advertising can be a very bad idea, it wreaked hell on my life, despite my having broken no laws at all.
People can use a firearm against you not only physically, but as a great singer once said "Those who wish to hurt you, work within the law." Being discreet is from all angles it seems to me, most always the best choice.

Having any sticker is like a band writing their name on the side of the van. Might as well paint "steal this van" on the side.

Concealed is what i like none need to know you have a gun
Bought a Smith and Wesson not too long ago and it came with a Protected by Smith and Wesson window decal. I pitched it right away. Don't want anyone to know I'm armed. It was a cool decal though.

that one shouldn't really advertise, I couldn't help but put this on my entries...
I see this as more of a warning than an advertisement. The guns I keep at home are in a safe that would have to be unbolted from a crawlspace under the house and I don't walk out my door without a firearm on me, so I consider them secure. If someone's in my house waiting for me to get home, at least I'm coming home heavy.
Don't do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics...
As far as decals go, I still have my FL Terrorist Hunting Permit on my van.
I live in NC which allows both OC & CC (with a permit for CC).
I also have an American Pit Bull Terrier who barely barks, if she hears something unusual, she'll let out a low growl and maybe a short deep bark. I don't like barking dogs.
CC means just that.
Ingogneto can be a hell of an advantage when it comes down to them or you.
Just my .5 cents cuz I'm too broke to spend the other 1.5.![]()
Lifes too short to take seriously, besides, you'll never make it out alive.
