Thoughts On Wearing Gun Logo Apparel

[Chevusa]

Thought this might be fun to discuss. What’s everyone’s opinions on wearing shirts or hats with gun logo’s or NRA logo’s etc, specifically while conceal carrying?

I have seen a few really nice Glock shirts but I never bought any because I thought it would draw too much attention. I figure everyone knows what a Glock is either from movies or tv or music. I recently bought a Sig hat and hoodie and my reasoning was almost nobody is going to know what “SIG” means.

I think the notion that criminals bursting into the bank for a robbery are going to be reading shirts and coming for you first is a bit far fetched. They will be pumped up on adrenaline and moving quickly. Also just wearing such shirt doesn’t mean you have or are carrying a gun. People wear shirts all of the time that say things that have nothing to do with them. Do you think the 10 year old kid with the Army shirt is in the Army?

So my opinion is that in general we give people way too much credit and they are mostly oblivious to what is going on around them, let alone reading and analyzing people’s clothing. I don’t want to go too over the top with clothes with pictures of guns on them, but some subtle logo’s don’t really bother me. Curious to hear what the members here think.

The louder the better for me.

I won't wear any NRA stuff unless it's at the range and I'm the RO. I'm not worried about criminals. I just don't want to get into a pissing contest with Karen in the produce section at Wegmans.

I don't often wear stuff from gun manufacturers. I don't like showing preference towards one over another. That's racist.

I do wear stuff from Grunt Style or Ranger Up, mostly because I like the message.

Wear 2A and gun shirts and hats all the time. No one has ever bothered me........even though I'm 6'1" and 275 lbs.

I go 6’3” 250 and have never had a problem. In fact when some broad screamed at me “where’s your mask” the other week, she promptly shut her mouth when I gave her the fuck off look.

 

[stokes]

I dont wear clothing that has any kind of writing or pictures.I'm not a damned walking billboard.

 

[GOPerfect]

I have never worn anything with the NRA on it.

Shirts? Most of my tee shirts are either gun related of patriotic type shits. I wear them everywhere. No worries from me.

 

[fnfalguy]

I don’t advertise I’m likely carrying when out in public.

 

[ikilledkenny]

on a few trips i carried my NRA duffel bag as a carry on bag on flights.

You bad ass!!!! I doubt anyone even took notice. People are in their own world.

I wouldn't even wear NRA stuff to a pride rally.

But as for gun clothing and stickers on vehicles, I wear what I want, don't care who I might encounter.

Agree except for the vehicle part. You aren’t around your vehicle all of the time and I don’t put shit on my car that would provoke a scum bag to damage my $60k+ vehicle. On your person, yes I agree with you. Nobody is going to fuck with you. A coward will fuck with your car when nobody’s around though.

Intimidation into silence ins't my style.

yea, like you mentioned people dont really care i think.
wear what you like. last i checked this is still a free country.
last week i was at a beer garden some skinny white kid was wearing a black lives matter mask the whole time lifting his mask and drinking beer while chatting with his XXXL girlfriend [i found it weird, a good beer and mask does not go together]. i dont think anyone blinked.

 

[Celt]

90% of my tshirts are from gruntstyle, rangerup.com, or some other patriotic type. I wear them all the time. There are times its good to be the gray man, but not most of the time for me.

Getting my $60,000 car fucked with isn’t my style

If I drove a $200 car I’d let it fly.

Spending $60k on a car isn't my style.

Work harder.

 

[Darth]

Work harder.

Spend less and there is no need.

I’d rather work hard and be able to buy whatever I wanted. Driving a shit box to justify being lazy isn’t for me.

If it was up your ass you'd know where it was lady

I'd rather realize that <$60k does not a shit box make.

Says the guy driving the car he doesn’t mind being vandalized

 

[Saltwater60]

I have it and I’ve stopped recently because of all the bullshit going on. Might start again might not.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

Hmmm.

I wear a Browning hat sometimes.

Kinda torn. Not big on wearing much branded apparel.

Not like I have a paid endorsement deal.

First thing I do when I bring home a new vehicle is remove the dealer license plate frames.

 

[Toecutter]

I tend to wear nice button down shirts or polos when im out in public at home or maybe bumming around a friends ill wear what i want.

 

[togmaster]

I only wear Hawaiian shirts.

 

[Chevusa]

I only wear Hawaiian shirts.

That doesn’t make you a Hawaiian. Get my point?

 

[SmallGameAddict]

I tend to wear old jeans and t-shirts so people will forget I was even there 10 seconds later.

That, and think I'm a bum and leave me the fuck alone. I grew up here. There's a lot of people I'd just as soon not be dragged into a conversation with.

A few times when I’ve been out in a bar the night before Thanksgiving in the town I grew up in I’ve pretended not to have any idea who people are who have come up to me I just tell them to have a good night and the conversation is over and they walk away.
