NRA Sticker on car window

[busykngt]

Just wondering if there could be any cause and effect with this situation.

Ever since the Texas legislature passed the approval for folks to carry handguns (loaded or otherwise) in their autos - as long as it's out-of-sight, I'm just wondering if having an NRA window sticker has contributed to car break-ins? I read somewhere, were someone suggested it was like having a big advertising sign that says, "GUN HERE - please break in and steal it". Of course not all cars with an NRA sticker have concealed guns in them... but just sayin'........

My sister has one on her car. Two weeks ago she walked up to her car to find the windows down despite the fact she always leaves them up. Upon entering she found her seat moved back and some items ruffled through. Nothing was stolen. The first thing I thought was that they were looking for a gun, but who knows?

Personally I don't advertise affiliation with the NRA, or any other group. I just don't get the point of bumper stickers saying what your beliefs are. No one cares!

That's bullshit; cops need PC or RAS to pull someone over. I hope you got his badge number and spoke to IA about it. You have a right to go about your lawful business without an abusive cop getting nosey.

i try to pick my fights, he let me go so i let it go. yes, at first his attitude was rude with me and he asked to search my vehicle, which i denied access to. but in the end i was let on my way and he changed his attitude midway.

One on the truck, one on the car. Neither has been messed with. Only vehicle I've had messed with (stolen) was BEFORE I had the time to put a sticker on it.

No basis. I just remember growing up when everybody had the huge speaker systems in their cars and proudly pasted their vehicles with all the brands on it. Just begged for low lifes to steal it. Hence, Steal-me-sticker.

Because most common theifs probably don't get it.

I elected not to put an NRA(or any other sticker) on my truck. However, living in Houston has taught me you damn sure better have a "100 Club" sticker on the back of your vehicle.

/\/\ What's that? Have a few friends in Houston and getting cars broken into seems to be a regular thing. Crazy.

Sorry - anecdotal evidence such as this isn't really much in the way of "evidence", since many of the thefts w/those systems were done by "friends" that had seen the gear, as well. Would strangers hit 'em? Sure - but I ain't gonna let what "might" happen preclude me from showing my membership/support for the NRA or other gun-rights group.

Well said.

I wasn't trying to put an exact label on it. I guess i should have phrased my post, "We used to call them steal-me-stickers."

And you nor I know if it was done by so called friends. Regardless, advertisement brings attention.

Yeah - but with MY advertisement, they gotta wonder - is it IN the vehicle, or ON him?!??

I don't have the mind of a criminal, but my guess is, there is not a lot of wondering going on, more like process of elimination which means your window still gets broken to find out. But I hear ya.
