Bumper Sticker

My "If ******(fill this in yourself) is the answer, it must have been a stupid question." causes some nasty comments while driving.

Hopefully you live well away from big cities and the right or left coasts, or that might attract damage for other reasons. :/ (Ditto the anti-Bush stickers in some areas.) I'll second the suggestion that you put it on your ammunition bag or maybe the gun case. It will give everyone a chuckle, and not advertise what you might be storing in your car or truck to people who *really* do not need to know that information. (I'm not sure they need to know the other bit of info either :-), but whatever makes you happy.)
 
Stuck sticker unsticking and sticker sticking stick spot

The only bumper sticker I ever stuck was one put out by Mad Magazine years ago. It said:

BUMPER STICKER

I don’t now put any stickers on my bumper or in my window. Why advertise?

Tip: If you insist on putting a sticker or decal in your rear window, please put it on the left side rather than create a blind spot where you don’t need a blind spot. I see this all the time and wonder about the mental ability of the stickee.

BTW, just in case some of you don’t know this. If you need to remove a sticker from your vehicle use a hair dryer. It will peel right off. Even those dealer decals, but if you wait too long you’ll have a dark outline left in the paint.
 
Personally, I avoid bumper stickers lest someone take offence and take it out on my car. For instance, I saw one just the other day that said, "What part of Thou shalt not kill don't you understand." I wonder where they got that idea.
 
I would probably keep it with the papers that came with the gun. The bumper stickers I like are "If you can read this you are too close", although usually worded slightly differently.

Probably a pro-life position challenging the moral legitimacy of abortion.

Regretably, the matter has little to do with your rationale for advocacy.

It has to do with whatever rationale a prosecutor wants to attribute to your actions, particularly if that prosecutor aspires to a higher office.

Does anyone remember a prosecutor named Mike Nifong, who led the campaign to charge and convict the Duke Lacrosse team players of a rape, that it turns out never occurred? Nifong was disbarred and sentenced to jail for "a tragic rush to accuse", but he still ruined those kids' reputations in the process. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=3008460

If you're ever involved in a justifiable shooting (which hopefully will never happen,) there is a chance that something similar may happen to you.

If you have stickers that say "Protected by Smith & Wesson" or "Kill them all, let God sort them out" on your truck, etc., whatever your rationale may be could easily be overshadowed by someone who wants to portray you as a wild-eyed lunatic just praying for a chance to cap some unfortunate disenfranchised citizen.

IMHO, if you're carrying for self-defense the less said about it the better - both verbally as well as in terms of signs or symbols that let the world know.

Silence is prudence...

YMMV.

I concur...

But I don't believe in any stickers, bumper or otherwise. I even had the dealer pull his small sticker off my car before I would take delivery. I do have a K&N sticker on the intake, under the hood, otherwise all stickers I get go either on my tool boxes or clip boards.
 
Well to each his own. I proudly put my NRA sticker on my truck along with my LSU and NOBAMA stickers and my license plate reads SIG 9MM. I do not subscribe to the fact that someone will attack me or my vehicle because of a sticker. In fact I've never heard of that happening. Not that it never has but I've never heard of it. I guess those who put "baby on board" should be careful of kidnapping? Same for those who put "my kid is an honor student..."?

I proudly put up what I believe in because there are enough of the things I don't believe in being posted everywhere else.

Again, to each his own but it wouldn't bother me. Most people wouldn't even know what it meant.

...And free speech isn't silence.

Because I might have either a "Save The Whales" or "Nuke The Whales" or "I'm Still For Barry Goldwater" sticker on my bumper does not necessarily make me a "wild-eyed lunatic". It does,however, verify that I continue to reside in a country that honors, respects and protects free speech. The day I fear to say what I think or become afraid to "promote the causes I advocate", be it by opening my big mouth, writing a letter to the editor, carrying a sign at a political rally or putting a sticker on the bumper of my truck, would be the day liberty died in America. There's an old saying, to the effect, "A right not exercised is a right not worth having".
As sks opined, "To each his own", to which I would add, let's make sure each has a right to his own.
