Warning stickers - Yes or No?

A couple of miles down the road, a guy has a huge yellow sign in his yard that reads "TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT"!

It's a professional made sign. You can't miss it from the road. :D

I thought about one of the "we don't call 911" signs with a picture of a gun on it and decided it was a bad idea. Not even sure about an alarm company sign; does it tell them to go away or just that they need to bypass the alarm first?

alarms are quite reasonable these days...why not dispense with the false ADT signs and simply get the real thing?
 
Nope!...No stickers or signs. My primary warning system is my two ninety pound dogs barking and my car in the driveway. I'm retired and don't go out much. I also live in a neighborhood where a good number of Navy SEALs live. Burglars are not much of a problem around here.
 
I always liked the sign that says "If you are found here at night, you will be found here in the morning". Or "trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again". ;)

Depends on where you live. If you're unfortunate enough to live somewhere like where I do right now, it's probably best to be as inconspicuous as possible. Where I'm from, though, it would not be the least bit uncommon! :D
 
My next door neighbor has a "Beware of Attack Neighbor" sign posted on the fence that divides our yards. He put it up as a joke but the rest of da 'hood knows exactly who he is referring to. (The sign is a joke that he bought on vacation last year and that is the only sign in the area.)

Any bad guy up to no good in our neighborhood runs the risk of being caught in the crossfire that will result after the first shot is heard by my other likeminded neighbors.
 
On American Pickers, a guy had a sign on his property.

WE DON'T CALL 911

Myself, no stickers anywhere.
 
My son put a "Got Sig" sticker on his truck about a year ago. I told him it was his choice to stick it or not, but it has never sat well with me. As much as I hate to say it, when I use his truck I feel as if I am giving the bad guys a heads up.

Just add "arettes" to the end and no-one will be the wiser. ;)
 
No offense but having a sticker that says "Have gun will shoot" isn't real classy and kind of stupid in my opinion.
 
I'm thinking of posting a 'Beware of LARGE DOG' sign in the front yard then getting some elephant droppings from the zoo to place here and there...

THAT will make them wonder!!! :D
 
My mom, being a Facebook junkie, came up with something better than a sign.

A pair of muddy work shoes on the porch, a couple of large dog dishes, and a note on the door, "Be careful with dogs. They went after the postman today and there was blood everywhere. The big one's been a bit jumpy ever since."
 
I bought a sign while on vacation and hung it in the garage

Due to the price increase on ammo
DO NOT expect a warning shot.

It's perfect timing for a sign like that. It looks like a danger sign with bullet holes and such but I would never advertise that I have anything. If someone can get by my two German Sheperds then I will take it from there.
 
I have a sign in my front yard that reads. "If you can read this sign; You're in range".

Of the 10+ years I have lived in this house. I've never had a problem with anyone.

My backyard is also fenced in and I have a few signs that say "Not responsible for lost hands or feet".

Of my 10+ years living here, no one has wanted to come close enough to my fence and try to play with my dogs.

x2 No stickers, signs etc here. While I get the idea, and fine many of them humorous, in the event you actual have fire your weapon, a good attorney could twist it around to damage your "character" and portray you in a negative manner to a judge/jury. That said, to each his own.

A good attorney could say the same thing considering your weapon was already loaded. It was premeditated because u had already loaded it.

Unless of course u actually take ur time to get up out of bed. Go to your gun safe, open it up, and load some rounds into the weapon.
 
Bad idea, I try to fly under the radar whenever possible...

Growing up there was a house down the road with a clever sign. It read "trespassers will be shot, survivors will be violated".
 
I prefer the element of surprize, no warning, no signs, just the sound of the rounds going off if the my deadbolted door is kicked in. I also keep no bumper stickers of any kind.
 
I don't wear gun hats or clothes and don't even put NRA stickers on my truck. I don't want to give people any idea that I might have a gun on me or in my house or truck. Out of sight out of mine. Don

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.:eek:

Seriously, I agree with Steve in Vermont.

NO STICKERS HERE... But the Honey Badger that would keep any bad guy away. Those things kill Cobras...
 
No bumper stickers, decals, trade mark clothing and especially no "I Dare You" signs on or around the house. It's nobody's business what I might or might not have.
 
There's a guy here in town with a big lifted up ford truck that has the words " ccw 45 auto" in BIG white letters on the rear glass. To me, that is a bad idea.
 
Thinking of putting a sign like that under my "Gold Coins Bought and Sold" sign in my window. LOL
 
I would say it is a bad idea. If you put something up like that, a defense attorney/civil lawsuit attorney could twist it into something like you were just spoiling for a firearm related confrontation.

There had even been some talk about using reloaded ammunition in a defensive position. It was twisted into the victim/shooter was wanting to be as lethal as possible when he shot a bad guy...kind of like a thrill seeker
 
Nope, no stickers or signs here. I saw a few break-in victims over the years that did just that. Seemed to be an invitation for when they were not home..."C'mon in, get yer goodies here." Nope, not for me.

And, to add on the ammo aspect...I would advise store-bought ammo and if you can get what the local LEO carries, so much the better.
 
No stickers for me, but I do like one. "If you are found here tonight, you will be found here tomorrow!!"

No signs here either.

As far as advising others against using reloads - the Internet rumors are just that, rumors. There has never been a case ...aw forget about it, I'm not going to change anything.:rolleyes:

If you choose to use "LEO ONLY" ammo, that's your choice.
