I am not an advocate of advertising valuables. This includes firearms on vehicles.
It is one thing to see a soccer mom advertise her child's team...
Or a Perfusionist to have
RSTUWAV ...
"Forget 911 dial 1911" is really going to look good with an insurance company having to pay for busted up or stolen car. I am sure jurors would take this into consideration as well if matter were to get serious.
Ask a insurance buddy that is a shooter about "paying out" for folks attending various shoots around the country. In San Antonio one year, they just looked for out of state tags, and my insurance buddy had 8 vehicles insured...in attendence and shooting..., none of these had any firearm stickers or plates. One fellow lost $50k worth of guns, besides having to fly home because they ruined his Surburban so bad, he could not safely drive it back. Incidently his was parked outside of a store within sight, and only took about a 30 seconds to get in and gone. Most expensive stuffed animal he ever bought for his kid...
Folks show up and roam, looking for out of state tags at shoots. That is why some did as I did, I show up, leave my vehicle at a trusted friends garage,and use their vehicle/ or ride with them.
Increase in BGs targeting hunters too...hang out , watch, follow and steal.
I would be prone to be more discreet. "Don't" , "6nCYL",( six rds in a revolver) "Lucky7",(seven rds in a 1911), "YIIL" (yes it is loaded), BHP ( that ought to get family, and neighbors to scratch heads), 8WAY25*, 25X8*, DBL8* , 25X4*...
*Skeet shooters.
Skeet shooters shooting low 8 twice means they have run a straight.
Skeet shooters also can do it 25 times in row - eight different ways.
That is why trap shooters hate us...they can only do it 5 ways.
I have a number of friends that shoot trap, heck even our Moderator Dave here shoots trap. Just part of the fun and ribbing we skeeters and trappers give each other...
