They will get you lynched in court - don't do it
They may add weight to the prosecution depending on the circumstances
Doubtful they would have any significance in court, but fellow enthusiast may ridicule them
It won't make any difference either way - do what you want
In a climate where every action of gun use, even for self defense, is easily and publicly scrutinize, it may be prudent to keep personalized slogans off your weapon....just my opinion though. To some extent, you're free to do what you want when it comes to personalizing your prized possession.

So how many here have some pretty offensive tattoo's? Do you think the DA might try and use your body art against you? Might try an paint you as a racist for some of it? Or a gang member/biker? Or ex con? Maybe we need not to worry about stupid shit! Maybe we should work to get stand your ground laws passed in the other 20 states that don't have it ! Then if your involved in a good shoot you don't have to ever worry about getting into a court room! Cause when applied correctly you don't go to court!![]()

I agree. There are too many "Tier 1 operators" in the gun community that are giving actual enthusiasts a bad name. Having a shitty attitude, not respecting the current political climate, and just all around irresponsibility concerning the shit they slap on their guns it's obnoxious.
98% Sarcastic. 100% Overthinking things and making up reasons for buying a new firearm.
I don't have any at all on my weapons, however I have though about getting a dust cover with the American flag since I've served in the Military. Wonder what wise Prosecutor and Juror that would PO?? You never know in todays climate.
Great point. All we need to do is get such laws passed, just like in Florida. That way we'll never have to worry about being dragged into court when we defend ourselves.
Oh...wait.
"Worrying about something" and considering possible consequences aren't the same thing. Want to get "Infidel" and "Justice" tattooed on your forearms? Go for it. Just do so knowing that in the highly unlikely event you're forced to shoot an attacker who happens to be Muslim you're going to have some 'splainin' to do.
I'll agree than getting wrapped around the axle over cosmetic gun modifications, tattoos, or modes of dress is a little silly given the very long odds that such things will ever come into play.
Nevertheless, I prefer to go through life without broadcasting my ideological views to the world. Others are free to do as they choose.
It depends on what it is. If it's a racial slur or some vulgar slang then it might be used in character assassination. On the other hand something patriotic might be OK.
