    It's cool, but I don't like having anything on my car that IDs me as a gun owner.

    a) Ignorant assholes will sometimes vandalize your vehicle.
    b) Makes it a target of someone who thinks there might be weapons stored inside.
    c) Potential for asshole/uptight LEOs (not all of them, but some) to cause trouble if I'm pulled over.

    I understand your concern. Nevertheless; I have a big ol Molon Labe as my front plate, pro gun sticker on the bumper, tinted 5%... haven't gotten one ticket in the last decade. I got pulled over many times (speeding mostly), always presented my CCW when asked if I was armed, and in most cases, ended up talking about my plate and drove away w/ a warning.

    I have had a Larue Snipers sticker, Magpul and a few other gun stickers on my vehicles for the last 7 or so years and
    I travel all through the Rockies and Texas and have gotten out of more tickets then I should have due to the converstaion that
    led to firearms etc and also I have never had my vehicle broken into. I think your over thinking things and being just a bit tinfoilish IMHO. YMMV

    First, I can testify, Gabe has some great stickers on his truck!
    Second, I have a "Afghanistan Campaign Veteran" sticker, 10th MTN sticker, Magpul sticker, and an AR-15 "Molon Labe" sticker, have been to 5-Points, Boulder, Red Rocks (during an electronic concert) and several other places that would bring out a more liberal leaning element, and not once has anyone vandalized or attempted to break into my car. The US Army plates probably help too, but you can really tell that I am Pro-2A looking at my back window.

    Not gun-related but there's a red Acura NSX in Boulder with a license plate that reads "MIDLIFE". I see it every so often and have long thought the owner has a sense of humor.

    maybe there's another one that says "crisis" somewhere.

    TBPH- I don't classify an NSX as a midlife crisis car... Corvette, you bet. Porsche, oh yeah. Harley, sure. But a freaking Acura? Not saying they're bad cars, just saying they're typically not what you'd see a guy during his midlife crisis going out and getting.

    Umm I think you have the RSX or something else in mind. The NSX is exactly what you buy in a midlife crisis.... they're quite a bit north of a standard Corvette and many porsche models. Obviously the Z06 and ZR1 excluded.

    You're right my mistake... I did confuse them... Goes to show, not a big enough fan of Acura to know their line of cars.

    Last time I went to Ben Lomond GC, I got stopped in Kiowa for speeding. I have a few stickers on the back window of my truck, the bed was full of target frames, targets, ammo cans, bench rests, etc., and I couldn't even say how many guns I had in the cab. A lot! Guess it was obvious I was heading to the range, the officer didn't even mention guns - just gave me my ticket.
    There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!
