Beware of Gun Signs: The Law Has No Sense of Humor - The Truth About Guns

I don’t have any bumper stickers or signs for just this reason. Paranoid?

 

[Jmac00]

I took all my "signs" down years ago just because of this advice. When I got my new Van, I only put Lollypop Farm and Cabela's stickers on my Van.

Likewise, a prosecutor will use this forum against you as well. so be careful what you post

My lawyer always told me (back in the '70) "if you carry a bat for protection, for God sake, carry a mitt"

 

[Defilade]

That right there is the best!! LOL

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

I consider it a warning sign.

 

[masterswimmer]

I don't open carry. No need to let the evil doer know I'm armed. Why advertise with a bumper sticker?

 

[nortatoga]

Just like having a Beware of Dog sign! It could show you knew the dog would bite.

 

[livingston]

how do these signs or bumper stickers come into play? Well, if your case is less than perfect, the prosecutor is going to produce evidence showing that you displayed one of these signs or bumper stickers. He – or she – will argue that these signs serve as clear evidence of your desire or even eagerness to shoot or kill someone.

Yes, with a nice, glossy 8×10 picture, the prosecuting attorney will tell the judge and jury that you didn’t care about the law. And that you thought you could and would do whatever you wanted.

Lawyers will turn anything around ....... He was just waiting to kill someone ...

It is like carrying a firearm with a trigger job or reloaded ammo " The factory trigger or ammo was not deadly enough"

I despise the mentality of prosecutors that will try to weasel any excuse to convict a citizen for exercising the basic human right of self defense.
They are all fucking whores and they need to be dealt with along with all the other tryanical commie scum in this country.

Like this?...........

We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten
Colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back
Of each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,
And Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he
Sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the
Twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
And a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles
And arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,
'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American
Blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the
Judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each
One explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Any questions?

 

[dwa12479]

I have a few, amongst others, on the wall of my basement workshop. Nothing on the cars or out front though.

 

[Jsmegs77]

I save the stickers for my toolbox, and maintain a sanitized exterior. Hell, I drive a silver station wagon with child seats and an Apple sticker on the window.

I’m not advertising anything. Why give up the element of surprise?

Really!?!? That big bite out of the apple indicates hostile intent to me!

It was a preexisting condition. But you can’t ever tell, nowadays. I’d better take it off and replace it with an Ewok or something else cuddly.

Heh. Don't do "Hello Kitty" whatever you do. That would definitely be misconstrued.

 

[Twogunwilly]

I like my signs & I'll take my chances on the moron that can't read or comprehend warning signs vs a jury of my peers, if it ever had to come to that, which I hope it doesn't; that's why I hung the signs.

 

[Darth]

Not scared.

I display what I wish.

   Anymore, I kind of respect people that actually come and knock on your door (not that I always open it). I’ve had one telemarketer c all my cell phone every day for over a year now (and that’s just one of several). Once in a while I waste a minute to tell the poor guy in India to go fuck himself and they usually reply something like ‘no you go fuck yourself’ or something. I don’t even have a credit card, so why do they insist on selling me one with a (supposedly) lower rate? Also, I have no student loan debt, so those bastard can fuck off too. I don’t want to borrow $250,000 dollars either, so those assholes can fuck off too. AND, I’m not interested in investing my vast fortune (sic) in west Texas oil drilling, so they can also fuck off. And the Obamacare people, they can really fuck off IMHO. Scam artists, every last one of them, and obnoxious ones at that. Then they fake your caller ID out to make it look like it’s a local c all. And then stupid people c all me up and ask me why I called them. I DIDN’T!
   
   I think the next time a Jehovah’s Witness knocks on my door I might give them a hug and a beer for taking the time to talk to me face to face.

   Oh! And I haven’t even got to the people that called me up and claimed to be the IRS trying to shake me down for $3000 or they were going to have the local police come and arrest me!
   
   Assholes.

   HA! Just checked my 3 voicemails. Apparently if I don’t c all some number and send them money the Windows on my computer is going to blow up or something. And ‘Rachel’ called (again) to touch bases with me on that $250,000 dollar line of credit.

Always see that on this site.

Anyone have a case where it happened?

I had a pair of nice girls once at the door .. then i asked about growing and smoking pot .. the hot one passed on the question on to her partner LOL ..

part 2 ..

so why don't these asshole attorney's do the same with tattoos .. like ya know MS13 .. fking really ..

 

[Saltwater60]

I avoid all these for a few reasons. I don’t want everyone to know I own guns, I use my vehicle for work, and I just don’t want to hear people’s comments about my bumper sticker.

 

[GOPerfect]

My Jeep had a shit ton of stickers. Gun stickers, Zombie stickers, end of the world and anti Left stickers.

As soon as I find a bunch that I like, My Truck will be loaded as well.

Fuck these people! I will do what I please.

That would be in the records of a case, and used more-so for the jury to hear.

Is it out there I'm sure it is!

Burglars target homes with gun signs...why be a macho advertiser for a potential incident ?

Right.
Just none of us have seen it.
Not doubting. But no different than when someone here talks about use of deadly force or SAFE and we want the penal law cited.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

So a sign that reads "Danger, High Voltage" is acceptable but one that reads "Danger, occupant is armed" is bad? Ok, got it.

 

[IrishMick]

As far as case law. The shooting of Daniel Shaver by Officer Brailsford. The officer had the words "You're Fucked" etched on the inside of his rifles dust cover. It was excluded as prejudicial at the trial. A good attorney will use this ruling to try to exclude something like the signs in the OP. No guarantee of success but could also be used to leverage an appeal.

 

[Criticalt]

A friend of mine has one of those "I Carry" stickers on his car.
99% of people ask him what it means.
1% asks what gun he carries.
