Are you sending the wrong message?
Being a gun owner puts you into a distinct class of the population. Even though you are a 100% law-abiding citizen you now belong to one of the most demonized groups in America. You will be discriminated against, vilified, have lies hurled at you, etc.
I do not promote nor encourage confrontation. The best approach is education. Some of the education is what we share and other education is what we learn and do. This post fits into this second category. Please take a minute to read this and consider the wisdom of what is contained in it. When it comes to gun signs the law does not have a sense of humor.
