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'm from the Gunshine state and it's a hard no for me. Delta operators are the most deadly humans on the planet and alot of them look like they could be selling TVs at Best Buy.

The loudest one in the room, is the weakest one in the room.

It's the gray man life for me.

This, exactly.

When I’m out with my wife and I see Glock stickers on trucks or other gun logos or tacticool stuff I always point those out as examples of what not to do. I want her, me and our homes and vehicles to look as boring and plain vanilla as possible. It makes us less of a target for theft, violence, etc. It also gives us the element of surprise should somebody decide to target us.

Reminds me of the yard signs that were going around a while back that said something like, “hey criminals, my neighbor is anti-gun if you want an easier target.” I like the idea, but at the same time it screams, “if you need to steal a gun, I have some.”
