I’m an advocate of the Second Amendment (2A), but you’d never know it if you look at my car.
My sister told me that a local firearms trainer in her city recently recommended that women should put bumper stickers on their vehicles that read, “I’m protected by the Second Amendment,” or, “I’m protected by Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson” – you get the idea. The trainer even told her to put that bumper sticker right on the driver’s door. |

There are 2 main reasons I will not support the 2A with a bumper sticker.
1. I don’t want to reveal that I might be a concealed carry holder and that therefore, I might be packing. Talk about giving up the element of surprise.
2. I don’t want anyone to think I may have a gun stored in my car. Think about it. You leave your car parked in a parking lot somewhere – especially an airport or stadium. Why would you advertise that you might have a firearm in your vehicle?
1. You aren't the only one who fantasizes about using the 'element of surprise' to get the drop on the perp(s) who just ambushed you. Too bad it's just a fantasy.
2. You've got a good point there.

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
