You do realize you can do the latter without having your car pimped out like the industry forum nascar entry right? Actually, you probably have a better chance spreading your ideology in the marketplace if your car is pimped out with a single, simple, idea, rather than a NASCAR entry. A single Ducks Unlimited sticker in the window of a well-thought out duck hunting rig is probably better than 50 stickers from LaRue to NRA to FBHO. A single "I'm the NRA, and I vote." sticker on the bumper is probably better than 3 pro-gun stickers. |

NRA sticker on windshield of truck.
As far as clothing, I wear nothing (outwardly) that indicates gun ownership. Actually, I dress more hipster, looking more like I belong in an apple store.  I look like the dude least likely to be carrying a concealed pistol. I look "friendly".

All I have is a small, tasteful American flag in the lower right corner of my truck's rear window.
For me, that says it all. Or should. |

Imagine if, just if....stickers really made a difference.
Reading this thread and you'd think stickers imparted some sort of magic "bad ass force field" or they act as a criminal magnet. In full disclosure I have a sticker on my truck it's a scroll from one of the units I served with for some years. It's never saved me from a boogie man nor has it gotten me robbed. But it is just a sticker. Ymmv |

No stickers on any of my vehicles. No reason to advertise and attract attention, good or bad. Plain jane vehicles that no one will notice or remember within 5 seconds of seeing them. Black sedan, dark blue minivan, dark blue SUV. All less than 6 years old, in great shape, no rust, dings, or any damage.
Besides, actions speak louder than bumper stickers. |

Another vote for bitterly clinging to God and guns!
On the back of my truck: Gadsden flag "If you can't behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them" ".45ACP. Because shooting twice is just silly" K&N Filter Accel Ignition I carry OWB, but shirt over it. I get skin cancer, so I always wear a light long sleeve shirt in summer. I leave it un-buttoned and un-tucked in summer. I also walk around in a cowboy hat and boots with blue jeans, so people assume I am packing anyway.

I like having firearm related stickers on my truck, but for opsec reasons I have duct taped tin foil over them
I have an "inside applied" NRA Life of Duty sticker in the drivers side window of my shell. The glass is tinted and the sticker is black and grey, so it is hard to notice. Nothing else visible, but it has more to do with not liking to deal with stickers and residue after they age a bit than anything. My wife drives a Subaru Outback complete with an Apple sticker on one side of the rear window and a NRA sticker on the other side. To top it off she works on the University of Utah campus, which is Libtarded. |

No stickers period.
Anything political and you become a target for libtard vandals. Any gun related or NRA stickers, and you become a target for thieves who think you may have a gun they steal. Real no-brainer guys. |

I have an oval with "762", but again, no one knows what it means. The reason I stopped with the NRA, TSRA, SIG Sauer, Come And Take It, etc., stickers was an experience in traffic something like 7 years ago. I had some woman right up on my truck bumper, honking and flipping me the bird. I hadn't cut her off, wasn't slow moving, etc. I moved over, she went around and got in front of me and started break checking and otherwise continuing to be hostile. It was then that I noticed a few stickers on the back of her car, including one that was anti-gun. My only guess was her hostility was her anger over seeing the gun stuff. At that moment, I realized how easy it would be for her to call 911 and tell them 'this guy in the truck started waving a gun at me' in order to get me into trouble. She could pretty well guess I'd be armed given the stickers. Maybe I'm off on that, but to me it wasn't worth the risk of an arrest over a false accusation. I'd rather no one on the road know I had anything to do with guns. |

I do not have any bumper stickers on our vehicles. I know if something bad happened and I needed a weapon, I'd be looking for vehicles that had NRA, Army, USMC, etc etc stickers on the vehicles. Even if the vehicles didn't contain firearms, it's a good place to start looking for one. |

I don't have any stickers on my vehicle other than legally-mandated signage.
Friend of mine has one of Glenn Beck's "Hydrocarbon powered Eco-vehicle" stickers on his lifted rock-crawling jeep, which I think is kind of funny: 
He's had more than one conversation with econazis that have seen the sticker & complimented him on his 'ecological foresight' and inquired about his engine. He explains to them that his engine runs on these underground hydrocarbons that the govt has found to be toxic. Thing is, they're naturally-occurring, so it's good to get them pumped out of the ground and away from our freshwater sources. Being able to use them to fuel a vehicle is just a side benefit. He's had a couple of them actually understand what it was after explaining it to them; naturally, they walked off in a huff...

I run a Bonnie Blue flag on my trucks.
No one pays me to be a bill board. Thankfully I live in an area of the country where Firearms are an accepted part of life. I feel comfortable being myself in my community. I dont stand out. I dont think I would care to live in a place where I felt like I was behind enemy lives. (the impression I got from some reply's) One of the most common stickers round here is the Browning Buck, and half the time they are pink. |

I have some window stickers but just haven’t put them on. I really just don’t like stickers on my truck and even we’ve been cautioned to remove our military association to avoid targeting; of course as most have mentioned, you can pick the “Joes” out of any crowd downtown or at a restaurant. I would like to put up a subdued Molon Labe sticker along with a BFL and my wife bought me a small metallic Seahawks logo; still debating if I even want to put them on. If I was a young, careless prick, I would plaster my vehicle with pro-gun, pro-carbon fuel, anti liberal stickers just to piss off all the “coexist” morons on the road.
My wife has her Subaru Outback with her LNT stickers, Wilderness Med, mud-runs, and a few backpacking gear stickers on her back window. Her car does look like an advertising billboard which I just don’t care for. Right now, all that is on my black truck is the Nissan Titan logo. Few actually know what Molon Labe means and BFL is a head-scratcher…those might work out just fine…although Glenn Beck’s “Hydrocarbon Powered Eco-Vehicle” is simply brilliant. ROCK6 |

I don't really care all that much living in a redneck area albeit a very liberal town. My vehicle isn't very low profile anyways as 1 of 4 lifted Grand Cherokees in my AO. I have a DTOM front plate and several gun and Jeep related stickers on my back windows. I still have a #22Kill sticker to find a place for that I know will get some comments.
As for clothing, I'm almost always wearing a Multicam or kryptek typhon hat and a soft shell jacket with several different patches. 95% of people assume I'm military even after talking with me for a good bit. It's just how I carry myself. That's not something that will ever change. |

Hell, it even amazes me people leave the dealership license plate frames/decals on their cars. Why would anyone leave advertising on their cars from the dealership they bought it from?  |
