I like longwatch's idea. That's cool.

For my submission, lacking of graphics, I always thought it would be cool to have shirt that said:

Open Carry -- because people shouldn't be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of the people.

It's not my quote, and I don't know who originated it so I can't give proper credit. I've heard it from many sources.

I like the original post from Mr. Pierce. It's simple and proffessional looking. As mentioned in several other post, when OC'ing, it helps to maintain your appearance and exhibit a professional attitude. I think shirts with messages along the lines of "Bad Guy beware" may give the anti's / uninformed the impression the OC'ers are a bunch of hald-cocked vigilantes. This is my 2 cents guys. I'll support it, whatever the concensus. This post is not to offend anyone or degrade the excellent work that you have contributed.

Cheers,

Jason

I can see where you are coming from, and agree about how "anti's" could react. I believe most of us were just having fun with some ides. I do plan on putting a warning label similar to the home security stickers on my home windows.

One thing I would like to possibly see on a shirt is something along the lines of: "Rights not exercised, are rights lost."

cs9c1, I think your quote would be fitting for the apparel. As far as the windows on your house, I totally agree. That is your domain, I would have it done in NEON if I could afford it.

Have you ever seen one the the t-shirts that have the fake lady in the bikini on the front and back? I wonder if you could make one where it looks like you have a gun on your hip with a large PDO logo on the back and logo like you see on the normal gun t-shirts you see at the shows?:lol:You could make it left or right side strong.:lol:Just a thought. BTW I like the golf shirt idea also.

I'd like to see a polo-type shirt that is straight cut. The front and the back of the bottom should be the same length. This facilitates concealed carry.

I'm thinking of a very simple logo. It consists of a holstered pistol -- perhaps the outline of a 1911 or Hi-Power in a slide holster. Both the 1911 and Hi-Power shapes are very distinctive. There should be no legal issues with either image.
