I have been on the fence with the whole Castle law sign / sticker issue and although I can understand the whole Red-Neck shoot first ask questions second mentality on the Castle Law Stickers and maybe even the kindof legal mumbo jumbo related to the "intent"... but I am really tired of being "invisible". And at this point in time, I really would like a means by which to identify those people that have the same beliefs as I do. I live in Houston and I am telling you, every day I drive to work and then home at night, I feel like I am under attack. I wish there was a way to just simply have a visual cue that wasn't offensive or "red-necky" that would let me know something more about the person who is driving the 3,000 missile next to me... Yes, I could look for the Nobama stickers or the Harley stickers but, what does that really tell me. Then, on my way to work today, I saw a sticker on a Toyota Land Cruiser that was in the form of the state of Texas and had CHL printed in black on it. When I got into work today, I did a search and this is what I found -

While I understand your dilemma, I still think that stickers advertising that you have a CHL are just as bad as running through a Wal-Mart yelling "I HAVE A CHL!", in that, at the least, some people will immediately pass judgment on you as a paranoid gun-nut-job, and someone might even call the cops on you.
Driving down the road with a CHL sticker, some anti-gunner could easily call the cops on you, and claim that you pointed a gun at them. The cops arrive, and viola, you DO have a gun on you (After all, you're a CHL holder). If they asked the original driver for a description, they can either say 'it was black' and be right 90% of the time, or say 'I dont know, I was sooooo scared.. I just saw the end of the barrel!'
To me, it's a bad deal all around.
