I take this one step further. If it is not something that I can shred in its entirety, I take off the page with my name and address on it and shred that. Then whatever is left I put in a trash container that is dedicated for stuff that does not have my name and/or address on it.
With an "S" on it?
It will. Probably get you labeled as an extremist too.
With the Batmobile plates on my cars do I have to worry about somebody stealing my comic book collection?

It's a NO from me dog.
Yes. There was one on the wall of my second floor office in the unclassified section of the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo, BiH. The bad news is my predecessor hung it there as a political statement, and had an easily recognizable political sticker affixed to his desk. Both were astonishing violations of the Hatch Act; those violations and significant others is why my precessor (GS-15) was escorted from the Embassy and booted from the country as 'persona non grata' by specific order of the Ambassador. I thought it wise to remove both political items on my first entry into the office.
No one is above the law. Not even a GS-15 with a security clearance.

If you want to put up stickers meant to deter criminals, have stickers printed that say "American Pit Bull Fighting Association"
Never, ever, put gun related stickers or decals on my trucks, vehicles, or on my home. I’ve always felt that the mystery of the unknown, whether you have guns or don’t have guns was a deterrent. My feelings is don’t advertise period.

I am in the camp of do not advertise that you have firearms and in my opinion that would be the best course of action for anyone in todays toxic climate.
That being said I fly my Navy Jack every holiday. I am proud of it and will continue to do so.
Obviously not in any official capacity .Yes. There was one on the wall of my second floor office in the unclassified section of the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo, BiH.

How would any foreign visitor or locally employed staff know that? There are US, host nation, and regional nations' flags throughout our Embassies. They'd assume if it was displayed, it was official.
Not cool....I've never seen anything like that, and I've been to state fairs, county fairs, and a few goat-ropins'.

Many of us are in our 70s & beyond so there’s lots to be learned here. Glad we were helpful & pls know there are no stupid questions here.
You misunderstood my point I guess . The flag in your office was not an official US flag . Just because it was there , does not make it official . And I assume we both agree it is not " official " regardless of where it is flown .
