If I wore a Ferrari T-shirt I wouldn't be afraid someone would assume I had a Ferrari in the garage just waiting for them to steal. Now a turtleneck on the other hand...

The volunteer lady in the radiation lab waiting room loved making a large button for me that says, "SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!"



The button was made at my request, she didn't just make it and give it to me.

I don't have an imprinted shirt. I did have a strange request a few years ago.

I happened to be about 140 miles from home helping one of my sons move cattle. When we finished we went to a little local restaurant for supper. I parked my truck and trailer with my two horses across the road from the restaurant, and walked in to the restaurant still wearing my chaps, spurs and Ruger Blackhawk on my gun belt.

My son was also dressed about the same. His rig was parked next to mine.

The lady manager politely stopped us and said she would prefer that we not wear our chaps and spurs in the cafe. Said they would scratch the furniture. She never mentioned our guns. We took our spurs and chaps off.

I like to wear my Memphis Sport Shooting Association cap to the organic grocery store just to get the look. Go to the fruit section and start pointing the bananas at folks, what a great reaction you get from Ms. Prius Driver and the ladies with the Coexist bumper stickers.

Being 6' 3" weighing 285 lbs with a white beard I tell their little crumb crunchers that they ain't getting **** for Christmas either.

I must be dyslexic.Every time I see a subaru with the coexist sticker,I read it as canoeist ,followed by ***?!

I get confused every time I see a Volvo...

"straightshooter1" said ~ "Baloney, Reb?

Look, you (or whomever) picked whatever you wore, right?
Right you are.

Knew what the message or logo or ... was on it, right?
Yes sir, you're right again.

You liked it, right?
Right yet again.

You knew others would read it, right?
Wrong - I don't wear clothing hoping others will read what may or may not be written on it.

You knew that others might agree with whatever was there, right?
Wrong - I could really care less what others think of logos that may or may not be written on my clothing - its none of their business.

And, in some cases, you kinda wanted to give a little dig to those who might not agree, right?
Wrong again - Its none of their business. They are entitled to their own opinions of what may or may not be written on my clothing or hat but they should keep their opinion to themself.

So, how can anyone complain when the attention they sought did not end up giving them the satisfaction they expected?
I don't seek attention by what my clothing or hat may or may not say so I don't expect any type of satisfaction from it.

Like the OP-the old lady got the better of him, made her statement, left him standing there and walked away (maybe laughing to herself, maybe heading to her anti board to post how she handled some guy with his gunnie shirt) the winner of that little meeting."
If the old bat got her jollies by saying what she said and the OP let her walk away without saying a word, that's entirely the fault of the OP !

In my opinion, this is no different than the anti-smokers making smart azzed remarks to someone that is smoking in an outside area where they aren't bothering anyone - they have a legal right to do as they please without someone harassing them. I smoke and the last time someone walked up to me and told me "that's bad for your health", I immediately told him that "not minding his own business was also bad for his health!" He got the message real quick and walked away with his tail between his legs!

If y'all want to allow these liberal whack jobs to walk all over you, have at it. I personally won't stand for it!

Edited my post in response as it would do nothing constructive. I'm out.

I open carry half the time.
My clothing logos are not what lets people know that I carry.
I also have a S&W hoodie, a Crusader Weaponry hat and nice long sleeve shirt.
If people dont like my attire they can pound sand.
I have yet to have anyone remark in a less than positive way about my logo clothing.
If they did, I wouldnt care one bit. The things people wear on their clothing now makes any kind of firearms, hunting, shooting relation look like flowers and bunnies.
I have read people remark that wearing logo shirts as well as open carry will make you a target.
As always... show me proof.
I can show LOTS of proof of people not wearing it or open carrying that have bad things happen to them.
Sounds like people need to live life as they want... not for what others think.

I don't advertize anything. Never did understand why you would advertize something and not get paid. Besides, I don't want to draw unneeded attention to me being armed or what is in my vehicle. I like the philosophy of the British SAS. You don't know who they are or, what they are doing, and they don't make public statements at any time. Yeah, I know some former SAS member may go public to promote a book he wrote or maybe fall off the tracks and go nuts but once they do that - they never get back in and are treated as outcasts - like the press.

You don't let'um know until it's time to let'um know. Besides, I don't like answering questions.

Reminds me of my cousin OTTO, the only thing he could spell correctly was his first name.

Wow, I'm really suprised at the diversity of opinions on this topic. I thought San Francisco was crazy. Most LEO and mil guys I know have dark demented senses of humor. We wear stuff that might shock most folks. But there is a time and a place for everything. I sport a "Claymore" bumper hitch and a Larue-"God Bless our troops- especially our snipers" on my Suburban. I have a "...hope and change working for you?" bumper sticker on my Acura. I never leave a gun unattended and people tend to stay away from me anyway. It must be my kind sweet disposition. I have more people commenting positively on my choice of attire- usually a 911 tribute shirt or they just stare.

Sorry Bob if my post above upset you - that was not my intent. This is only a discussion and I simply answered your opinion with my own opinion.

Yours did not upset me, rather, on reflection I believed my response might have upset you and there is no reason for me to do that, especially on a Forum where we are all pretty similar in most things.

Edited to add: Of course on those few things where we are dissimilar, I am always right!

As far as stickers on the car, and insignia clothing...

I can see either side of why to do it or not. I don't do it simply because I don't like feeling like a billboard with my clothes or auto decals.

Just wanted to chime in...I think there is a bigger danger of putting your kid's name, sport team, school name, and jersey number or instrument on your car's rear window, visible at the same time your license plate is.. than the amount of risk involved in placing a particular brand advertisement or political statement on a bumper sticker, T shirt, or ball cap.

No sir, you did not upset me in any way - just discussion of opinions. Personally, I like to argue an opinion and sometimes I don't know when to quit even though I know the other party is always wrong ! I guess we can agree to disagree on this one.
