The bed has a noticeable presence of empty shotgun shell boxes and there is a NRA Life Member sticker on the back window.
I hope this implies that I am armed and broke, therefore go rob someone else
I think the recurring moral is be alert at all times.
So it may not be that good of an idea.
TAM, I believe that your theory holds water. Reason being, my employer, also a CHL'er, has a big nice jacked up 4x4 Superduty Ford. A few decals here and there (all hunting or gun related) and a twisted mass of different calls (varmint/buck/etc) hanging from the rear view mirror. He and a client went to eat in Dallas one evening, and when they came out his truck had been broken into. For whatever reason, he'd left his carry gun in the truck, along with his truck gun, and a rifle under the backseat.
He asked me a few days later,my opinion, why his truck was targeted before any of the other, purportedly nicer rides in the lot. My theory was the stickers and calls; evidence that there is a good chance of there being a gun in the truck somewhere.
