Ryanp225Vehicle Stickers vs. Going Incognito
The only sticker on my car says,
"Caution, driver may bail out at any time".
I don't do political or gun stuff because you WILL get vandalized.

Phelen_KellI don't have any on mine, I like the clean look. My brother has the Honor Our Fallen plates, and a police thing on his plate and a bunch of stickers of some chinese letters and japanese animals.
Someone did get angry at him after recognizing the police thing. He was in line at McDs getting ice cream for his kids and the guy was just screaming and my brother ignored him. Finally his daughter popped her head out the sunroof and told the guy to bring it. The crazy guy drove off.

IronbuttI have a 3X5" American flag on the rear window of my truck & a US Marine license plate on the front.
Those two alone would be enough for some deranged liberal to vandalize my vehicle. I don't need anything more provacative, like a NRA sticker or a Rebel flag.

azranger45It may be the times, but you don't want some scumbags lawyer showing pictures of your car with pro-gun stickers after you just shot some a$$hoe road rage fool. Saying to the jury, "look he was looking for trouble, just looking for the chance to shoot someone". Don't give the other side any additional info to use against you in case you have to go to court.

JALLENWhat you think is none of my business.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown June 15, 2017, 09:42 AM

If a Republican has political stickers, Democrats might damage the vehicle, greet the driver with a friendly one-finger salute, or indulge in acts of road rage.
That's my experience too. The left has a double standard on everything. For them, it's an expression of belief. If it's a conservative sticker, it's an incitement to violence. Therefore, when they commit violence, it's your fault.

I do too! But just on the old Tahoe, along with MIT, SLUH, Cor Jesu, and U. of Tulsa, supporting my kids and their schools.
The other cars are kept clean.

jehzsaAt least since late 2005, an American flag plastic sticker on the inside middle-top of the front windshield and a dried palm leaf cross with a rose in the center hanging from the rearview center mirror.
No one has asked about the American flag. Few about the other.
I see no reason to remove them.

LH2Back in the 80's I kept a NRA sticker on my '66 Chevy pickup. But here in AZ in the 1980s, GDC's weren't a concern in the least.
Nowadays I don't have any decals on my vehicles.
Having a Trump sticker or gun sticker would probably make it a target of the commies or illegals we have so many of.
On the flip side, when I see a Hillary or Bernie sticker on a car, I immediately think "IDIOT!!!"

lkdr1989Never been one to plaster my vehicles with stickers...only have my work parking sticker.

46and2No such emblems on my vehicle or clothes.
Unless I'm being paid handsomely to advertise.
So, never.

jaaron11My only adornments are a University of Arizona window cling and a Missouri University of Science & Technology window cling. Not many people in Alabama would be offended by either. I prefer being a gray man on political and social issues. Plus, I like the look of a clean car.

YellowJacketI think the idea that a criminial would target a vehicle because of a gun sticker is probably way overblown. Might not be 0% correlation, but I'd guess it's pretty low. Might still be more risk that one is willing to take, though.
I don't have any gun stickers on my truck, but I have had them on past vehicles and don't give it a second thought. Half the trucks I see in Atlanta traffic every day have a firearm-related sticker so around here it doesn't make you stick out very much.
I have a Nautilus fly reels sticker on my truck and it has their slogan in big red letters "TESTED ON ANIMALS." Kinda surprised no SPCA/PETA/HSUS member has said anything to me yet.

Expert308I have a Green Bay Packers logo sticker in the back window and a "My GSD is smarter than your honor student" bumper sticker. Otherwise nothing, I fall into the "don't give some a-hole a reason to think there might be a gun inside" camp.

leavemebeOnly one bumper sticker on my truck: "Not For Hire". Goes well with my "leave me be" mindset.

SIGSenseI humbly suggest not having any stickers, and being the boring car on the road. The Left/Dems are hunting down the Right/Conservatives and doing damage to them. Now they might not do anything while you're in your vehicle adorned with NRA/USCCA/Mitt Romney/Trump/Anti-Hillary & Obummer stickers..... but the moment you park---they'll attack. I firmly believe in everyone's right to free speech, but the Left has lost their bearings and begun to really become unhinged. Politics is their religion---because they have NO other.
