This kind of thing kinda bothers me. First off it is immature and shows no class. Second if you need to tell people what a tough guy you are, then you're not. Also it is never a good idea to tell the opposition (anti-guns, criminals) what your hand is.

Yeah, I do. I've got t-shirts from LE charity events I've shot at, some supporting different military units that were sold to raise money for the families of members that were killed, some other military theme t-shirts, t-shirts and hats from gun parts manufacturers and gunsmiths, etc.. I also wear t-shirts and hats from high performance auto parts companies, tractor companies, and all kinds of other businesses, even some that I had made up with the name of my own farm on them. I wear them at shooting matches, training and qualifying days, when working around my place, drag races, car shows, to the grocery, hardware, and feed stores, Wal-Mart. Pretty much wherever I feel like it. I also open carry fairly often because when I'm working outside it's easier and more comfortable than concealed and that often turns into errands to this store or that, or the gas station, or down to the town landing, or any number of other places. And, I know plenty of other people that do the same. Of course, that's not the entirety of my wardrobe and I don't wear those things all the time, but more often than not, when I'm on my own time, that's how I'll dress.
Does that make me classless or immature or mean that I'm trying to show how tough I am? Of course not, it simply means that I own lots of shirts and hats with different logos and printing on them and that's what I like to wear. Your presumptions about folks that wear themed t-shirts are ignorant and you're drawing conclusions about people you don't know based on nothing but the shirt they might be wearing. That's ridiculous.
