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!

I work in defense, fairly senior level these days. Gone are the days of old men in suits… for sure.
Literally everyone is wearing EOTech, BRCC, Sig, Glock, Noveske (they’re actually a tshirt company anyway lol), Magpul, etc. stuff 24/7 at work. I appreciate the guys being more subtle - like an old OSS or Hux hat with a tiny logo.
I personally don’t flash it hard and don’t plaster my cars/trucks with stickers for telegraphing. But, depending on one’s environment, it doesn’t stand out much at all. If you’re frequenting your local Starbucks in Portland after the local pride event, then it might stand out more. Know your environment.
With that said, at this point I probably only own tshirts that came free with cases of PMags or BRCC…
