    These stickers do 3 things.

    1- let's people know which car to break into.

    2- will get you some unpleasant attention from the police on traffic stops.

    3- let's everyone know how insecure you are.

    Yes, that is what reasonable, good, and mature people think.

    There are absolutely a subset of the opposite kinds of people that see this as:

    1. Don't mess with me or my property

    2. Will get me respect and attention in all the ways daddy didn't give me.

    3. Let's everyone know that I am really manly and I use the phrase "alpha male" unironically at least three times a week.

  • 11 points kuluka_man

    Just a thought, but isn't it incumbent most especially on the person wielding lethal force to think twice? If you have a gun for self defense, a more sane sticker would say, "I desperately hope I never have to use this." Of course, the most sane option would be not advertising your gun ownership via sticker.

    I always find these stickers interesting.

    Aside from being cliche they achieve two things, one of which is pretty dangerous.

    First, they do serve as a deterrent to light hearted thugs if they manage to see it.

    Second - and more dangerously - they give any would be attacker a heads up of the drivers so called mindset and preparation, meaning that - if considered- any attempt at the car (etc) will necessarily have to have its force escalated to immediately kill or incapacitate the driver without getting his attention or without letting him respond. And that, my friends, is stupid. Better to just be alert and armed than escalating theoretical force.

    If the prosecution doesn’t bring up that sticker as proof that the person didn’t take every possible step to avoid having to use deadly force, they’re not doing their job. And even I’d be down with that argument were I on the jury.

    Assuming that this is in Missouri (OP said “Indeed” to it being a “St. Louis moment”), yeah, you really need to convince a jury that you were in reasonable fear of your life. What’s “reasonable” is up for interpretation by the judge or members of the jury. At least for me, it’s “made an honest effort to not use deadly force”.

    I’m in the city on the other side of the state and have familiarity with CCW & self-defense training. They nailed it pretty hard that “you really don’t want to shoot if you don’t have to”.
