I would wear mine proudly, but they don't offer them in XXXL, so I have to resort to my NRA cap. I haven't noticed anything different. Soccer moms still look at me like I'm a baby killer.

I don't wear mine to work, but I do wear mine everywhere else. I did get someone wanting to shake my hand for wearing the 2nd Ammendment T-shirt in such a liberal bookstore, and the Canadian SWAT teams did give me a double take in the airport after I had been diverted there 9/11.

as often as I can. Even to work, last week.
They all know I'm a gun enthusiast anyway. I've got pictures of me firing an MP5/40 and my AR all over my cubicle wall, and a polished round of 5.56 next to my monitor. Used to have a full stripper on my desk, but decided that I was pushing my luck at my extremely PC office. Keep expecting the HR director to come and ask me to take them down, but noone has yet... wannabe |

I work as a field tech for VoiceStream wireless in one of the areas that they bought recently. We have been told not to wear the shirts of our old company name, but they haven't bothered to give us new shirts, so I have started wearing whatever I feel like. And, yes, the AR15.com shirts have been regular wears for the last few weeks.

I don't have one (yet). But I wear all kinds of firearms related t-shirts out in public. One of my favorites is "Hollowpoints, when you care enough to send the very best" [BD] No one ever says anything to me in public, in fact they don't crowd me in the check out lines. [%|] |

Yes, indeed, and [u]not[/u] just to gun shows where I know I'll be around like-minded folks, either. But everywhere!
Right after I first got my two, I wore one to the WallyWorld in Frisco, Texas. As I'm leaving the check-out stand, another cashier, a mere lad of eighteen or so, says, 'Hey, Mister, I like your shirt.' Whereupon we exchange a few words about the 2nd Amendment and he says he can't wait to buy his first gun. [u]That's[/u] reason enough to wear your t-shirt - to let others know that they're not alone in their beliefs! Eric The(PreachingToTheFrontRow)Hun[>]:)] |

I wear it out quite often. I also wear it to work on casual Friday on occasion. I haven't gotten any comments yet, except at a gun show when a vendor noticed it and said, "Hey, we got one of those rifles!" It was on his display table, but was behind some boxes or something, so I hadn't noticed it. Pretty sharp little rifle. [:)]

I ordered mine [b]specifically[/b] to wear to work, where my boss (an ex-LEO) has this wierd idea that guns are evil and we need to depend on the LEOs to defend us through life. I plan on wearing it just to see his reaction ! I am so glad he is no longer in Law enforcement.

Yeah, I remember something about those, but never got around to finding out about them. Where do we look?
My old principal saw my Strider Knives shirt and asked if I new them. We got talking about knives in general. People tend to look funny at me when I wear an HK shirt or my GE minigun shirt, but its my right, so forget them. Ice |

I ordered one for my wife and she loves it. She wears it in WalMart. But, what does she know, she also from time to time wears a "East German BDU Jacket" with the "Insignia's" still on it. She bought that at the last gunshow (complete uniform).

Well, Mr.theHun the thought has crossed my mind in the last week or so. What do you guys think? At least if I did do it again I now know a simpler way. I'm a little iffy 'cause I've got a new family member due the end of November, and they are serious high maintainance the first couple of months. But if we/I was to get some serious interest I could be convinced I suppose. I'd need to contact Mr. Avila and GB to get clearance, oh, would I need to offer up some new designs this time, or go with the previous one?

definately planning on getting one after my AR build is complete.. (money is tight)...BUT, what I get a kick out of is the reactions the shirts my 7 year old daughter now wears. MY old shirts from high school...her new "shooting shirt" is the black tee with the skull and crossed rifles, simply states "SNIPER", then flanked by "Mess with the best", "Die like the rest" and under it..."ONE SHOT, ONE KILL"
My favorite was the lady at the restaurant we went to one afternoon, she was about 65-70 y.o., stops my daughter as we were leaving to read her shirt....I simply said "it's her shooting shirt", my daughter said nothing, the look on the lady's face was priceless. I was of course standing there in my British DPM camo field jacket. I don't think she's ready for the "Darkness can be your friend" series. |

Here's a vote for another round of shirts!
I'd get one more for sure in XL, maybe more. I wear mine in town (blue collar and retiree community), as well as the Hippie/Dreadlock town where I teach me survival class at the university (I wear it during class too). I've only had good comments, and I haven't noticed any "bad looks", yet. I will have to check with my brother and my friend in Texas to see if they've been wearing the ones I sent them. |
