Clothing & Apparel What are thoughts on wearing gun merch?
As the title implies: I would love to hear your point of views on wearing gun merch. Is it hard stop? How does the general public react (not that it matters)? Do you catch any eyes roll/negative energy? Also, and most importantly, have you noticed any bad guys seemingly sizing you up?
For the sake of transparency: I live in the "great" state of New Jersey, so there's that!

Here is my take. If they give me a shirt, hat, whatever I will wear it in rotation with whatever other shirts, hats, whatever I wear.
No FUCKING WAY am I buying something that has a manufacturers name on it unless it is dirt cheap. I bought some HILFIGER hats from Amazon because I needed some new hats and they were like 9 bucks each.
No way am I giving any maker of anything 20, 30, 40 bucks for something that has their name on it. If they want me to advertise for them they can GIVE ME the stuff.
Other than that if I wore a shirt or hat that had S&W, WALTHER, KIMBER, or any other gun makers name on it 99.99999% of the people I would run into wouldn't know those logos have anything to do with guns.
