I think you'd sway or get more votes for our side by talking to all of your friends and reminding them to get to the voting booths on election day.

I'm roughly 30 minutes north of you. I have 2 Astorino signs and 1 Safe Act sign in my front yard. I know for a fact that it makes me more of a target.
However, I keep my items locked up and more often than not, someone is at my house. Even knowing what I know, I'm going to make sure that any passers bye know who I support and hopefully they'll do the same. |

Good to see someone else here that supports the second amendment. Don't see that often enough in the city.

I only have Astorino signs. Not a bad neighborhood, but lots of FSA foot traffic between slumlord apartment complexes and the McDonalds in town.

Only if you make your signs out of targets.

I think so, but I've been scarred by years of being a downstate gun owner.

You are afraid to even put up yard signs that might help the cause?

I don't live to far from you. I have a Astorino and a anti safe act sign out. Don't worry about it.

... I know for a fact that it makes me more of a target... How so? What happened? Two cases. First, a neighbor who didn't know what the safe act was asked me to explain. Then realized that I likely owned firearms (facial reaction) even though I didn't admit that I do. Second, plenty of hunters and outdoorsman around me. There's a gun range one town over and I get honks and nods from people driving by. I also get unsavory looks from a few neighbors who I am quite certain love them some Cuomo. I doubt I'm opening myself up to robbery or assault, but possibly vandalism. |

Both my signs have been stomped twice. I don't think by opposition, but by roving bands of teenagers. Nothing has been done to house or vehicles. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I surmise you didn't read his post I did read his post thanks. Instead of putting a sign in your yard of a political nature; drawing attention to you and your property, I simply stated he could influence more people by reminding them to vote on election day. That's the purpose of the yards sign correct? Influence people? Let them know where you stand on an issue? Publicly state your position? Express your dissatisfaction with something? Get people to vote one way or another? We'll do more by talking with folks than putting signs in our yards; most folks are going to be either texting or talking on their phone when their driving anyway... It will just be another thing for our subconscious to ignore while behind the wheel. |

Well, if signs supporting 2A or Astorino make you a target for a home invasion, then you have to use your 2A rights.
Do you have a weapon always within reach? If so, you know what to do. If you think someone will vandalize your signs, get a trail-cam - NYF has one that has was bought by members and has been used to obtain evidence on 2 Repeal UnSAFE sign vandals, including 1 LEO (a term I'm getting sick off - most don't do this anymore. They're too busy protecting "the collective" elite). But that's a conversation for a different day. |
