Shame to hear about that in your part of town. Most of us Pa country folk had our first 22 by 10. Course dad held onto it for us.
Do you think the University is having any influence?
Thanks Wise A.
That makes me feel better as I was worried how that might come across.
Now---can I tell you about the aluminum foil on my ceiling above my bed?
I have been an NRA lifer for a long time, now a Patron.Can't speak to any statistical data but I will not put any firearm related signs or decals on my car. To me, they are like putting a sign on the car that says "come and steal my gun!" Why make yourself a target?
So why do all the examples above have 13 stars?
Means there's a big, heavy, expensive cooler hanging around somewhere close . . .
Well, you could put a bumper sticker on your car that says something like
" reasonable gun control is reasonable" and see if that keeps your vehicle from being broken into.
I prefer one that says " If you can see this, I can see you"
I don't have any gun-related stickers on my car and don't display my handicap parking placard except when the vehicle is actually parked.
I don't wear gun-related clothing. I do have one dark-green oiled canvas cap with a very discreet S&W logo embroidered in the same color, but rarely wear it.
My preference is to maintain a low profile and not do anything to advertise gun ownership or physical limitations. I have no desire to attract the interest of some idiot who might feel challenged by a bumper sticker that says "Insured By Smith & Wesson". I just want to be an unobtrusive (but alert) little old man, quietly going on his discreetly-armed way.
At my age, and in declining health, I don't need complications and can't afford to replace stolen guns.
The only "political" sticker on my truck says "Teddy Roosevelt for President".
Covers everything. Guns, hunting, outdoors, the Big Stick in foreign policy, conservation, what have you. But I never got anything but positive comments, especially during the last campaign season.
And any lowlifes scouting for a break-in target are unlikely to remember enough of their high school history to draw the inference that my truck might be more likely to have a gun on board.
Speaking of bumper stickers, did anyone else notice that during the recent election cycle there were very few political bumper stickers to be seen for either party? And also very few yard signs? At least in my immediate area, I don't think I saw a single yard sign for either Trump or Clinton, and only a few for local races (judges, sheriff, etc.) I always wondered what the logic was behind anyone having a "Vote for xxxx" sign in their front yard even if they were ardent supporters. I can't imagine it would influence any voters. Same for bumper stickers, for any candidate or cause. Is someone going to join the NRA because I have an NRA window sticker?
By the way, I always gather up political signs after the election, the ones with the wire legs. They make dandy target holders, much better than cardboard.
There's lots of people driving around with bad wiring between their ears and you never know what might set them off. If you have a "I heart Ford" sticker some guy driving a dodge might want to do a little road ragin' on ya.
One star for each Confederate State.
