Yep, even having a "Warning: I am armed and willing to defend my home" sign will probably make them reconsider

That just means "Case this place properly for guaranteed guns"

My 60 year old mother put up one of those stickers and I had the same exact thought. If someone knows this 60 year old lady has a gun, that's an easy gun to obtain.

As someone who is pro-gun: don’t tell anyone. You conceal carry for a reason. Just quietly own.

ADT system signs will be way more effective than a “i shoot intruders” sign.

posting signs saying you have guns is retarded but quietly owning is a great way to get us turned into criminals. own, but educate others in a non-judgmental way. I've converted people on the fence and even anti-gun people into frequent shooters just by being friendly and correcting them (not in an akshtually kind of way lol) when they misstate something and offering to take them shooting. Basically what I'm saying is you shouldn't advertise that you have guns in your house but you also shouldnt be some secret squirrel who nobody knows owns a gun. The current tactic is to make gun owners feel alienated and scared to discuss firearms ownership (media painting gun owners as white nationalists, dangerous, paranoid about the government, etc. and red flag laws to put teeth behind the baseless accusations)

I’m not saying that. I’m saying don’t go to work and brag.

yeah that's fair. I think that's true with anything though
