A Warning: Do You Have An NRA Decal On Your Vehicles?

[steelslaver]

Hide Manard hide. Around here you see stickers and guns all in the same truck. Windows down, doors unlocked. We got no crime. All the hide your stickers guys must be living in high crime areas. Maybe with more guns and stickers around and everyone knowing they were around would cause all the dip wad to think twice about breaking in top cars. Of course if I fired a couple rounds at somebody breaking into my car the sheriff would be asking me all kinds of questions. Mostly about why I missed. I live in a whole different land than most.

My NRA Life sticker will remain in my back window. Has been there for many years. I'm too old to run anymore. And my insurance is paid up.

There are a lot of runners in my area, multiple 13.2 and 26.1 marathon decals. My 5.56 decal usually gets odd looks and the occasional question. David.

IOW, you're a more precise runner than those sloppy one decimal place others.

I posted this 5 years ago. Nothing really changed.

I don’t know if some of you have noticed but this country is choosing sides.

There was recently a page on Facebook (yeah, I know you don’t use Facebook but a lot of people out there do) that specifically advocated calling 911 any time you saw a person open carrying.

The guy that started the page suggested lying to the dispatcher to make it sound like the open carrier was a threat (he’s waving the gun around) so that the police would send a bunch of cars and smack the guy down.

During the recent recalls here in Colorado people opposing the recall were videotaped threatening to kill recall supporters. Then there was the guy I’ve referenced before who was specifically targeting vehicles with pro Bush bumper stickers on them for vandalism.

On the Democratic Underground website they have threads discussing the best ways to vandalize the homes of NRA members (How do you think they figure out which homes those are?). A current favorite is spelling out NRA= MURDER on people’s lawns in salt water. There was a famous actor (I think Clooney) that said “if you’re an NRA member you deserve whatever you get.”

If you think for one second that someone that believes all that wouldn’t do thousands of dollars damage to your car or flat all four tires while your wife is in Wal Mart, alone, over an NRA or a S&W sticker on your car you are a fool.

Am curious to know how the numbers come out for those who openly display NRA and those who don't-does that go hand in hand with those who open carry and those that carry concealed?

Huh?

Not the NRA, but I have this on the back window of my truck (as I did the truck before it):

Am I worried someone is going to break into the truck? Nope, that's what I have insurance for.

A lot of people wouldn't know what that is

 

[Smoke]

Huh?

Does the number of people who open carry correlate to the number of people who display NRA stickers and does the number of people who conceal correlate to the number of people who don't display stickers

I've never been a fan of stickers and decals on my vehicles. Heck, I don't even like the dealer logos on them. I prefer a clean, minimalist look. Nowadays, though, I do have two stickers on the rear window of our Expedition: an AAA sticker on the left hand side, and a Navy Veteran sticker on the right hand side.

Speaking of issues, and how some things have changed: when I was in the Navy (1969 - 1973) you might be spit upon when you were in uniform in public. Now, when I wear my Navy Veteran hat out in public, I'm often thanked for my service by random strangers.

I don't even have gun stickers on my gun cases.

I've considered rockin' the rainbow Gadsden flag... just to keep 'em guessin'.

Thanks, Smoke, you got the idea. Thanks for stating it a little more clearer.

And here we go..... Good job Chik a boom.

Ooops, apologies, All. Didn't mean to get that debate going. Just curious if there was any correlation in displayers and non-displayers.

I enjoyed reading all the posts. Being, blonde, of course, I can't make up my mind, I felt that both sides had good arguments.

I don't have a NRA sticker or gun stickers, but not out of any fear. Kinda pointless around here to havee a NRA sticker. The antis barely exist. I only have a sticker that says Member of Montana Sheriffs and Peace Officer Association and one sticker that slams both political parties. Here it is a pretty good bet that every home has guns. I seldom lock my door either on my house or my vehicles. Sometimes in a bigger city when I got stuff in my car. Here I have gone in stores with the doors unlocked and guns in my vehicle. I rarely open carry unless it is hunting season and I am packing a larger revolver. I do carry a snub 325 concealed. I seldom see open carry. but often see guns in gun racks. Most ranch trucks have them. The post office and court house are about the only place in town you can't carry a gun. But, everyone just parks on the street right in front. When I took the NRA handgun course it was in the sheriff's office basement. Everyone brought a gun. When in peoples homes you still see gun racks and glass gun cases.
Would I actually shot some one breaking into my car? No, but I bet they drop my stuff. Around here it would be considered bad form to actually shoot them, but if some one got shot breaking in cars it would be considered their own fault. Hard to get a jury to convict the shooter here.

I removed the NRA decals from my Jeep windows. Locally there has been a rash of anti-gun nuts puncturing tires and "keying" parked vehicles displaying the decals. Both my rear tires were punctured in the YMCA parking lot.

I no longer have a NRA sticker on my truck, one time going to Canada on a fishing trip, they asked me if I had a gun, I said no, they asked me again and I said no, if you dont have a gun, why do you have a NRA sticker on your truck , they searched my truck, they told me I was free to go, I said no Im not, turn me around, I will go spend my money in NH instead.

With the Draconian gun laws of the People Republic of Maryland, the MD state police are targeting out of state vehicles with pro-gun stickers in hopes of catching those with a legal concealed carry hand gun from another state. Having a handgun in the vehicle is a violation of MD gun laws. The gun is confiscated and much time and money are spent avoiding jail time.

Sad state of affairs that we even have this conversation. I don’t have any stickers but only because I don’t like anything stuck on my truck or cars,even remove factory stuff if possible.

WIN/WIN

That's just great. You get a check from insurance, AND there's another gun on the street in the hands of criminals. See how much longer insurance will be paying for unattended guns being stolen from vehicles. As long as you are not inconvenienced.

When I was in college in Boston back in the 1970s I had a NRA sticker on the drivers vent "remember those" window...and someone broke it out...that taught me not have ANY bumper stickers or anything else telling others what I think, have or believe in...

Harley riders have had the same problem...thieves follow a vehicle with a HD sticker on it home and target the bike later on...

"Speak softly and carry a big stick" = no stickers
I do not open carry either
