I don't have any shirts that say anything about firearms, etc, probably won't have one either.

However, I do have a shirt that says "I'm one of those crazy Episcopalians"

What kind of response would that one generate, I wonder?

Yes, I wear one to plug a new and great local gun store:

I used to wear shirts bragging about my 2A/shooting passion. Now, about the two most controversial T-shirts I own are military - one with the Marines seal (from her oldest) and the other says NAVY DAD (from my youngest). I've got no decals on my vehicle other than an American flag. As I age, most of my private life falls into the "nunnya" category as far as anyone outside my circle goes.

I don't commonly wear any kind of "slogan" t-shirt, but occasionally I'll get artistic and create one of my own. Maybe I'll do it with the second amendment one of these days. :-)

I have my NRA shirts or gun manufacturers and I wear them from time to time. Lets say this is my way of open carry without open carrying.

I have Rock River Arms and a 'NRA- The 2nd Amendment; America's original Homeland Security' shirts. I have never had any negative comments just pro or people asking questions- how can I sign up for the NRA? etc. My wife has a NRA shirt too.

I like the 'Don't tread on me' t shirt on the NRA site, I probably pick one of those up next.

I don't put any NRA/ pro gun stickers on my vehicles, I don't want to invite some scumbag to break my window in search of a gun that isn't there anyway.

I have an NRA, Texas State Rifle Association and a sticker for my local gun club on the rear window of my vehicle. I also have several shooting team shirts as well as a few "T"s that are gun or 2A oriented, though I don't normally wear the team shirts out in the general public. If you want a pro gun T-shirt, sign or anything else with a logo/slogan/political view) then go for it. I've never met, known, heard or read of anyone in the last 20 years who's personally had their house or car broken into by someone looking to steal firearms because of a gun related bumper sticker in the window or the owner wears a "Team SIG" or "Make Mine A GLOCK" shirt. The fact is there have been a number of studies done on this same subject, mainly with inmates at jails/prisons who'd been convicted of burglary, robbery, theft and similar crimes. To a man, they said gun themed stickers on a car or home had no positive influence (make it more likely) on whether they would rob that house, individual or car. Actually, many of them said it had the opposite effect and if they saw a sign/shirt saying the owner was possibly armed, they would look elsewhere for a potentially less dangerous victim. Some of you may remember that John Stossel did a report on the same subject a year or so ago for ABC's 20/20 with the exact same results.

BTW, during the interviews with prisoners mentioned earlier, it was also asked what effect KNOWING that a potential victim was armed had on how they picked a mark. The three responses were either, A) If there's something in a house/car that he really wants or he's on drugs and needs to score for a fix, knowing the owner has a gun didn't matter because the BG will still go after it. B) If a BG is seriously out to hurt you and/or has a personal ax to grind with you, knowing you own a gun doesn't matter because the BG will still find a way to get you. C) If it's a crime of opportunity (as most home, car and armed robbery/assault victims are), the BG is looking for a quick, easy and relatively safe score and if he knows the victim is likely to offer armed resistance, 95% said they will look for an easier - and less dangerous to them - target.

The bottom line seems to be if a BG wants you personally or you have something specific he/she wants, the threat of a weapon won't deter them. OTOH, for victim's of opportunity, crooks will almost always look for easier pickings if they think you're armed and will put up a fight.

OTOH, if you are worried about being singled out as a gun owner by a potential BG or gun control supporter, don't display or wear pro gun logos. It's your choice and it's called Freedom Of Speech, aka the 1st amendment. It's the one in the Constitution that comes just before the right to keep and bear arms we here support and like to talk so much about!

Nope. Have considered buying the occasional Pro 2 A shirt.

I have a couple Glock shirts and don't wear them a lot but I am not much of a T shirt person. Have to be in the right mood. My son wants one of the NRA "Don't Tread on Me" shirts so I am going to get that for him and I will probably get something for me too. I have NRA stickers on both my cars.

I'm another who does not pay much for T-shirts. I don't have an NRA hat yet, don't have any gun related shirts either. About the only pro-gun things I have are the Springfield XD Logo and NRA logo on my Myspace page bulletin board, and the NRA sticker on the inside tinted back window of my truck.

Not to say the thought has not crossed my mind to wear some gun related shirts on stage at gigs, however, I'd have to be ready to have some major "political debates" with the local Alt/Punk/Indie musicians who are often anti-gun liberals with an axe to grind.
