More specifically what's in it. Do people here honestly think "criminals" are going to target their home just because of a flag? How much are they going to get reselling that flag? Do they feel it's worth spending time in prison for stealing a flag? They target your house because they know something of value is in it that can quickly turn and make a profit from. If they are truly thugs and simply don't like the smell of you--more likely they'll round up a gang and find a place to plant you out in the middle of the desert. You think your libtard peaceniks really going to do that?You know what makes your house a target for criminals? Your house.
That may depend on where you live and for the most part, not so. ...Basically the logic is flags equal conservative and conservatives equal guns.
Hardly, as there are other factors. One way to flag the bad guys is to "flash" your firearms, in your neighborhood. We are a community of hunters and it's common to see long-guns, in and out of vehicles, boats and whatever. another factor is how effluent your house appears. The best firearm related item I own, is a Gun-Safe !!!Do people here honestly think "criminals" are going to target their home just because of a flag?
I've noticed over the years on this and other gun forums that gun owners have seemed to have given in the antis. Don't fly a flag, don't let others know you're a gun enthusiast, don't display gun related items.
I live life on the edge I guess. I fly my American flag 24/7 and even have an NRA decal on the back glass of my truck.
pretty accurate these days........and may be considered a distress signal.
I hope you have a light on your flag when flying it at night. Doing otherwise is improper flag etiquette, and may be considered a distress signal, though fewer and fewer people today seem to realize that.
Criminals, unless they are professionals or members of an organized crime ring, look for targets of opportunity and for minimum resistance. They are predators.
Predators turn tail at the slightest chance of injury.
And Bravo to all of them! And as tlm posted we need to stop the fear of supporting Our Flag,our Anthem our Troops, Police, Firefighters and EMT's. Heck, is was not long ago we could not even mention BLM.Asa disabled Vietnam Veteran I proudly fly a flag of the USA in my front yard currently itis at half mast due to the biden murder of the 13 US Marines and Corpsman at Kabul.
There are 5 consecutive houses and/or businesses on my side of the road who fly the flag.
If there is an attempted robbery in the neighborhood, I would forewarn the perverts that many of my neighbors are veterans/retired Marines or just gun owners. Very many of us have some sort of practice range set up in our back yards........and we still keep in practice as can be note by the frequent gun fire.
i will always fly my flag, the Flag of the United States of America, and am still prepared to defend her.
By the same token it's also possible to overestimate what people will do steal your x-box or plasma TV. Few common thugs are likely to hit your house with a full-on panzer blitz if they think it's not going to be an easy in-and-out. If it's well-organized gang/cartel thing that's a different story, you're simply living in the wrong part of town and they are going to be hitting everyone they can, regardless of your perceived affiliations. If firearms are involved that almost always raises the bar to felony and jail time.Pigeon-holing criminals like that is how people manage to significantly underestimate risk factors.
How would you go about forewarning them? Do you post signs at intersections leading into your neighborhood?dontcatchmany said:If there is an attempted robbery in the neighborhood, I would forewarn the perverts that many of my neighbors are veterans/retired Marines or just gun owners.
