Warning stickers - Yes or No?

[Shootist1954]

What is your opinion of a warning sticker on your house window, such as: HAVE GUN WILL SHOOT!?

Some believe it's an invitation for trouble/thieves, etc. Others believe it's a good warning and deterrent.

I think it's a bad idea. You're more of a target when the house is empty and if they are brazen enough to come in still they'll most likely be armed themselves.

No stickers for me. Most of the time no one will see them.

I don't put stickers on anything ever.

No stickers here, I would rather let it be a surprise.

No stickers on the home or car. Why surrender the element of surprise and invite someone to break into your home or car?

Well I don't wear a sign saying I'm carrying so I don't feel my house should either

A good prosecutor sees "premeditation."

Even if you don't have an alarm system get a couple of stickers indicating your house is protected by ( ADT, whatever). And/or a "Beware of Dog" sign. You can even get a length of heavy chain, a snap lock on the end, and an old water dish. Put this outside where it's clearly visible. Few buglers will stop long enough to check out such a house.

No stickers, no advertising /I have weapons/protected by S&W etc. IMO it's just advertising what you don't want people to know. The dog warning and a large water dish along with a lock on the fence gate is good advice. However, if you live in a state with snow - no paw prints in the snow tells it all. The big defference is who wants to get in your home - kids or career criminals. You have to be prepared for both. I've been thinking I might get a Honey Badger - that should cover the back yard at least.

Seriously, I agree with Steve in Vermont.

What about a sticker that reads: "Mother-In-Law Inside" ?

 

[OLDSTER]

NO stickers for me. Has nothing to do with thieves and such; I just try to keep from advertising to any potential drive-by anti gun-types.

Never advertise something you aren't willing to sell or have stolen.

No stickers.

We have dogs. Anyone who breaks into a house with dogs is already looking for trouble, I think.

I personally discourage showing or demonstrating anything around the house that indicates that we might have some type of weapon inside.

I don't tell people that I carry, either, and have stopped talking about having fun target shooting except in private.

Occasionally, when I'm bored, I'll put my sign up that says "There are NO Guns in This House!!!".

Then I hide in the bushes. So far, no takers.

 

[jlrhiner]

And now you all want to come over and sit with me, don'cha?

Wish you could get that across to the country boys up here with the snowmobile manufacturer stickers that take up the whole rear window of their pickup truck. Yes we get it, you like Artic Cat, Skidoo, Polaris. Or the rice rockets with huge audio manufacturer stickers in the window--good idea letting people know you have Rockford Fosgate, Kicker, etc speakers in your car--cars never get broken into.

Alarm company stickers; maybe an NRA sticker, but any of that "I'll get you" stuff just telegraphs your punches. A well secured home is the best message to a calculating thief, but a nut job isn't going to be put off by anything if he is determined. JMO. Flapjack.

Back when I was in High School I remember the guys that had all the decals on their windows of all the parts they had in their souped up cars. A friend pointed out to me that is the menu for the "Midnight Auto Supply Store".
