Perhaps another reason not to put pro-gun stickers on your vehicle?

...Again, what is the "alternate" meaning of ALDA?

ALAN ALDA. Known liberal wackjob actor. Wait ... that's redundant.

I liked him in M*A*S*H, though.

Remember JG, those things go under the tarp. Always under. You can leave the lantern out though. People will just think you're camping.

Yeah, a few years ago MiniJet's at-that-time-boyfriend was helping me take some stuff out of the back and he saw the tarp & asked what it was for. A split second before my brain said "catching brass at the range", my mouth went ahead and said, "her previous boyfriend and I did not get along."

I do sport an INGO sticker on a couple of my cars though, not so much to broadcast my beliefs to others, but simply to let other INGOers spot each other while out and about. Nobody outside of INGO knows what INGO stands for.

I spotted it once at a Burger King in Gas City. (+1 Burger King!)
What do I win??

I liked him in MASH when I was a kid.
After the Navy, then I always just thought he was a whiner and I was thinking I wish he'd just do his damn job. (His character).

I've been meaning to pick up an INGO sticker

Do things REALLY happen to cars just because of stickers? Or is that an old wives-tale?

My FIL has rolled with NRA stickers for DECADES. Never an issue, and he lives in the yuppie-infested near-northside of Indy.

I have my INGO sticker (which, granted, is just the 4 letters) on 2 vehicles. Have gotten a few "thumbs up", but nothing ever negative. Even my INGUNOWNERS.COM hat (which I wore to the office today) doesn't raise any eyebrows.

I've seen some window stickers that would offend just about ANYONE. A truck around here has the "f-bomb" in 6" letters on the back. If HE isn't getting keyed, pulled over, and harassed, then I'm certainly not worried about me.

Maybe I just don't feel like living my life worried about what some random wack-job may or may not do or say. I'm prepared to handle it either way.

There's probably someone somewhere that can attribute vandalism to a sticker. A sticker of what, though? Those M22 stickers probably **** off the Jackson Hole lovers, the 13.1 stickers **** off the swimmers. Starts and bars **** off the sensible. The Coexist stickers **** off Christians. The family stick figures **** off everyone.


This thread reminds me I need to attach my new life member sticker. Haters got hate, but I'll stand proud.

If you do a quick search on INGO you will see few topics on here.

What? Are you saying INGO has paranoia issues?

You're referring to ME, aren't you? I know you are.

No need for purple. Oh so true

Gray man all the way here, one that doesn't care to waist time getting where I'm going.

How contradicting.

You're concerned about the animosity of an anti-gunner seeing your pro-gun sticker...
But you double your likelihood of putting yourself in the way of harm by having road rage with other motorists.

Lets put it this way..........

Man 1 in car tailgates Man 2's rear bumper.

Man 2 flips the bird, causing Man 1 to cut in front of him, stop and start a verbal argument.

It happens. Bad on both parties.

NOW - Lets add a little twist.

Man 1 in car tailgates Man 2's rear bumper.

Man 2 WITH A GUN flips the bird, causing Man 1 to cut in front of him, stop and start a verbal argument.

Now when the responding officers arrive, it's now Man vs Man WITH A GUN.

Do you see where I'm going with this? Use your judgement wisely.
Your actions speak louder than words (on a bumper sticker). Be safe out there.

I have two INGO stickers on my car. A quick google search of "INGO" brings up this website so it seems relatively easy to figure out that someone sporting that sticker is likely a gun owner. I don't sport anything that says I <3 guns or blatantly signifies that I probably have a firearm on me. Follow me around long enough and you will know though as I OC.

Any other stickers on my car are similar in that they are symbols in EX: a sticker of the thin blue line instead of a sticker that says I'm a cop.

 

[Mark 1911]

I'm not a bumper sticker guy, but I must admit that INGO has some very nice looking stickers for vehicle windows. My next order will include one for the back window of my pick-up. Besides, how many anti-gunners have the slightest clue what "INGO" is?

Yeah. That last one was right in the middle of a 7-day per week schedule. No stopping.
A blind Chinaman once said, "It is through suffering that we find ourselves."

Catch up with you again some day for more FoF, but maybe with additional PPE.

Gray man all the way here . . .

Same here. I think that’s the way to go from a purely defensive perspective. Although I understand the political/social advocacy side of this too, this thread is in the carry issues and self-defense subforum.

Do things REALLY happen to cars just because of stickers? . . .

There've been articles here and there to suggest this is the case. Insurance companies tell us alarm system signs, or stickers reduce your risk of home burglary.

Yes, many people are oblivious sheep. However, there’s a segment with special interests that do seem to notice tells like stickers. This I do know. How prevalent it is, or how much your risk may be increased - that I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's a non-zero, positive risk, but have no idea how much - could be "insignificant" depending on how you look at it.

Sure its easy to look up. Doesn't mean many will, especially in traffic.
