conducting sticker experiment

[CSACANNONEER]

I've had NRA stickers on my vehicles for years and never an issue or problem. The only two times when I have had problems is when someone set a small flag on fire that was taped to my van's antenna while it was in the Target parking lot in Valencia during Desert Storm and recently when some guy pulled along side of me and cussed me out for the bumper sticker on my sedan that said I was proud of my Eagle Scout. Apparently he didn't like the Boy Scouts. This was in Atwater Village last week.

Or, he liked them too much and got caught!

If every gun owner put an NRA sticker on their car, you don't think people will notice?

Wouldn't matter a lick, the average anti or gun thief were educated by the CA school system and can't read your sticker anyway.

I have a big NRA sticker on my Prius, window got bashed in, new sticker on the new window. And unlike some Prius owners, I drive it like a regular car. They still get 45 mpg at 80 mph. If I wanted to go slow I would buy a bicycle. I even have an NRA sticker on the motorcycle.

NRA sticker on a Pruis? They probably thought you were a turn coat

There are two types of people in this world, my friend.

Those that care what other people think, and those that do what they want.

Well its been 4 days and so far so good. I have managed to receive three thumbs up and one inquiry on how to join Calguns.

Good on you for not being a scaredy pants. I get thumbs up and nods all the time.

My "Just Guns" and Marine Corps stickers got my neighbor to come over and ask me about guns last weekend... That and seeing me clean my guns with my garage door open. The next day the representative of the HOA showed up at my door step and asked me for advice on how to keep the neighborhood safer.

When I was 17 someone keyed "Small Penis" into my lifted pickup with zero stickers on it just for having a lifted truck. But I guess I should have just sold the truck and bought a honda civic to not attract unwanted attention.

I personally am willing to risk my car getting vandalized or some VERY dumb robber picking the wrong house to help get my rights back.

Thousands of others gave much more than a paint job to defend my rights.

I don't understand the fear that some people have.

It's not fear, it's prudence.
Some people have it, some people don't.

It's not fear, it's prudence.
Some people have it, some people don't.

Naw, it's fear.

I am not ashamed who I am. I am a combat veteran wounded in combat and a gun owner. You can tell this by the stickers on my truck. If that scares or offends you too bad, I bled for that right. If you think it makes me an easy mark that you could just follow me home and steal my stuff or threaten, well I have no problems making you bleed for it.
I dont leave firearms in my unattended vehicle so if you want to break in, well that why I got insurance and I need new windows anyway( they got sandblasted pretty good a few years ago up here during a severe windstorm)

[Merc1138]

I'm curious how so many people claim that someone would have to be dumb enough to break into their home... do you guys just never leave?

[epilepticninja]

Naw, it's fear.

Agreed.

[GraveTPO]

Naw, it's fear.

Have it your way. Maybe some of us have more to lose than others.
Just curious; do you have a big sign in front of your house advertising that you are a proud gun owner? Or are you being prudent by not broadcasting to the world that there are highly desirable valuables inside?

2 days after I put my first AR-15 sticker on the back of my truck, my truck was broken into at my house and then guns stolen (Larger ar shaped silhouette, and another gun company logo)

I've never really ran any stickers let alone gun stickers. And never once had any vehicle broken into til right after I installed it and was worried about when I was purchasing it at a gun show.

People above say stickers don't mean anything. I personally believe it tipped off someone I was into guns. I'll never know if it was completely random, or someone was watching after noticing me. But it left a bad taste in my mouth I took it off. The police detective even questioned me if I had gun stickers on my truck as well.
