Never here in Utah, I don't wear a lot of gun logos but don't even think about it, they're in the rotation.

I normally only wear firearms logo'd hats, vests, shirts, etc. to the range.

However, on the weekends I do have a few "Don't Tread on Me" t-shirts in the rotation. Nobody says anything about those t-shirts but I do get comments on my "0 days without sarcasm" and "Licensed to Grill" t-shirts so I know people are actually reading strangers' t-shirts.

My burb is in a very conservative part of Texas so no surpirses.

Having lived most of my life in the Bay Area, California, I don't.

When I got to Arizona, I recently bought a subdued black ball cap with a black and white flag and the word Veteran on it. I added my VFW and Navy emblem pins.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I work in a bookstore in Berkeley, CA, and I occasionally wear my SIG-Sauer tee to work—you know, free speech and everything. I don't get hassled because either no one pays attention, or they don't know what that company is. It's interesting because it also alerts me to pro-firearm people in the area. I had an old guy standing behind me at a Berkeley Starbucks say, "Nice, but I prefer Colt." I've had customers at my store mention they like the brand. It's illuminating.

I don't wear any gun related clothing or stickers on my car because I'd rather keep my gun ownership private. If I did wear gun related clothing like hats or T shirts I wouldn't be concerned about negative reactions from people fearful of guns.

I generally don't advertise the fact that I'm into guns. No stickers on the truck, etc. I do have a handful of t-shirts with firearms related stuff on them, but I usually only wear them to the range or when I'm just going to be around people who know me well. I think the closest thing to a gun-related hat is a Leupold cap that they gave me when I took a scope in for some work.

About the only thing I'll wear is my NRA hat. The only place I've gotten any reactions was at Chic Fil-A. Some dirty looks from a few patrons but a thumbs up from a teenager walking in as I was walking out. For some reason most of the dirty looks came from the minority customers. I have no idea why.

I have quite a few firearm related t-shirts but have mostly stopped wearing them outside my home. I was wearing one from a LGS that used to sell them with their logo, a small name on the front, and a larger saying or pic on the back. Was picking up a script, waiting in line and the customer in front of me, loudly exclaimed, oh, (name of the LGS) I go there!
The only part of the shirt he could have seen were the first two letters showing under the coat from the little logo in front. It was a bit surprising he looked that closely, and he didn’t seem to care he was speaking kind of loudly. Nobody paid attention though. But I have been trying not to advertise it lately. We did have a nice conversation at the pharmacy though, lol.
I do wear them to the shows though, and have had nice conversations with other attendees, in regards to what my shirts had as a saying. But otherwise, am keeping a lower profile these days.

I mostly stopped wearing firearm and politically style clothing when I started carrying concealed over twenty years ago. Just doesn't make sense in my mind to advertise.

I want no advertising of any kind on my clothing, home or car. Not because I'm ashamed or fear reprisal, I just want as low a profile as possible, being the "gray man," as it were, since when I'm "out and about" I'm usually carrying.

Most of my gun related shirts are worn out. For years we had a La Rue Tactical "God bless our troops, especially our snipers" sticker on our rear car windows. We got a lot of positive feedback, especially from retired military.

That sticker has sat either in my front window or in my garage, proudly for the last 20 years. Big Grin

As a rule I don't wear logo clothing but I do have a white S&W ball cap that I wear often and then I've got a few gimme caps from the last NRA convention that I sometimes wear. I can't recall anyone ever commenting or even noticing.

No decals or stickers on vehicles.

I see Sig stuff almost every time I am out and about. I don’t think anyone blinks an eye around here.

The only time I have experienced a negative reaction was when I was wearing an NRA instructor hoodie in the grocery store. I stopped in on my way home from a class to pick up stuff for dinner. As I was making my way through the store, I was in an aisle with a couple of women with bad haircuts and comfortable shoes approaching me. I smiled at them as I always try to project a friendly image when I am wearing instructor garb. They smiled back until they read what was on my sweatshirt. Then their smiles turned instantly to hostile scowls. You would think I just kicked on of their cats.

I used to have a nice Browning ball cap. Great color combo, nice deer silhouette. Anyway Jr df #2 stole it from me when he was 12. He still wears it all of these decades later. He bent the bill severely, it’s frayed and has camping stains on it. That’s about it for the logo gun clothing.

Nothing on my car (except Veterans plate) and I usually only wear firearms related shirts/hats to the range.

But, my last job was part time for the federal gov’t after I retired from my career.

After a year or so I decided to wear my NRA Certified Instructor Polo shirt. The insignia wasn’t more than aboit 1 1/2”. I didn’t teach very long and it was a nice shirt. The environment was casual and I never had any issues from managers.

The building was pretty secure; guard shack with armed guard to enter grounds, 2 armed guards inside building entrance, large signs of NO WEAPONS ALLOWED IN THIS FACILITY, and random searches with metal detectors.

Never was questioned by the guards.

I did find a few like-minded folks to shoot with.

I have a couple Browning 3/4 zip pullovers, one pro 2A that shirt and some commo stuff. I hardly ever wear them anymore. I don't want to draw attention to myself in this day & age. I don't want to be "that guy". When I do carry, I try to be Mr nobody as much as possible.
