I never was a proponent of anything that drew attention to being armed, certainly not a fan of open carry. And not to go off in a different direction, I am not one that likes or uses stickers on front doors or car windows that say, "Protected by ............" (Insert your favorite gun on the blank line.) Why make yourself a target of a gun thief or someone that wants to disarm the opposition?
My castle has two signs on it: "Protected by ABC Security video surveillance" and "Beware of Dog." As proud as I am to be a NRA Life Member, I don't display that sticker to the outside world, not for any political reason, but I just don't want to announce to anyone casing the neighborhood that I have guns inside.
And coming back to the original issue, it's all the same reasons not to let the world you have a gun on your person.
