I guess it's not much different than putting one of these on your car

Personally, I don't put ANY stickers like NRA or TSRA that may indicate there is a gun in the car. I just think they are an invitation for folks to break in thinking they may get a gun.

I really do not understand the 2nd Amendment bumper sticker thing. I do not advertise I am pro gun on my vehicle. Looks to me like you are asking for a break in or unnecessary hassels from those LEO with attitude or (for me until Sept 1) at work.

I don't see the issue with the BPD issuing the warning/heads up.
Like others have said I don't put any pro gun stickers on my vehicle(s) out of fear of my vehicle being broken into.

Just another reason not to have any kind of sticker on your car, but especially anything with political connotations.

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.

Just get a "10 pack" and share them with your friends. (If they're not too wimpy...or worried something will happen to their car). ;-)

:iagree: If something is gonna go down, I like to have the element of surprise on my side.
With that said, however, I do love the sniper bumper sticker.

Addendum to the above for Texas LEO's:

Those vehicles you stop with Texas license plates are much more likely to be carrying arms
than those vehicles with Massachusetts, New York, or New Jersey plates.

Never had a busted window or car theft in 30+ years with an NRA sticker on my cars, I dont live in fear of the bad guys and let them change my life. 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?

They would be wrong

And, yes, I do. It is a known fact that stickers indicating high-$$$ stereos, specialty electronics, etc are an attractant for thieves.
