What about a placard that you could display while driving but take down upon exiting your vehicle? When you are driving through a bad "hood", it can serve as a warning which effectively says -- "carjacking will be met with deadly force". Once you park your car, take the placard down so that your car isn't a target.

I never been a carjacker so can not say from experience but if I saw a sign like that I don't know that it would stop me. I might just decide to be the first to do the shooting. I prefer to go incognito. I want the element of surprise to be on my side.

I'd bet it would serve some as another kind of alert...

"Yo, Baby!! A Car AND a Gun! JACKPOT!!"

Why would you seek to challenge the depths of someone's stupidity?

+1 , I don't want no 'target' on me. Jacker may be looking for a new gun and sees you have one so shoots ya to get it!

For those absolutely determined to make it painfully obvious to the entire world that they have a gun, it is unlikely that they can be helped.

Go ahead and attract all the carjackers, muggers, thugs and LEOs to yourself, and away from me. You may also make a good test case, so make sure you get a good lawyer. I look forward to reading the score in Westlaw.

Armored cars were the first type of specific vehicle that I learned to spot. I could recognize what I called "money trucks" at age 2 or 3. Very nondescript, since it looks like a rolling bank vault.

It seems like if they actually wanted to keep from getting robbed, armored car companies would make the vans look anonymous and when possible pick up the money in a very low-profile way. Apparently that's not their goal.

Great point!

The part I disliked most was 38s or 9mm. Over arming was a liability.
