If they see a NRA sticker, they might pass my car by and go to yours, where they know they wont get shot if the ower get back too soon and finds them in the act. Really you think a bad guy who is going to do a quick smash and grab is really taking the time to look at stickers on your car?texanron wrote:I don't want the hassle or cost of repairing a busted window due to a criminal thinking I might have stuff worth taking because I fly certain themed stickers on my vehicle. Not ashamed of my beliefs either.
And, yes, I do. It is a known fact that stickers indicating high-$$$ stereos, specialty electronics, etc are an attractant for thieves.
That's because logically....a car stereo resides in the vehicle. An NRA sticker ONLY denotes support for a certain organization....it doesn't mean I have a gun in my car. If I had an American Medical Association sticker on my vehicle would you necessarily assume I had syringes or drugs in my car?
I really doubt decals weigh heavily on the mind of a thief looking for firearms (in a vehicle). They might serve to point to someone who has them at HOME though.
The concern for vandalism of your vehicle might be valid (some places), but not where I live.
