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

I think it could be used against you if you had something racist, xenophobic, or murderous displayed on anything. I've seen confederate battle flags seized as evidence. I would think it harmless though to have a humorous or motivational saying inscribed or displayed. I don't engrave or apply stickers to my stuff, it's not my style. But it looks good on yours.
Our 1stA was put there for this very reason with that being said I do have the battle flag on the back plate of my G-19 that I carry every day. I live in rual NC and had two great grandfathers fight in the 21st troop NC during the civil war. This for me is not a race thing it's more of respect where I came from thing. I've had to draw on a fellow trying to rob me in a gas station parking lot with a fish club but thankfully he ran and I did not have to shoot. I do not think the battle flag on my glock would have made one bit of difference if the situation did take a turn for the worse. And yes he was black but he also had a aluminum fish club so he could have been green or florescent orange and it would not have changed the outcome.
I fully understand from where you are coming, and I'm not saying that you are wrong for honoring your heritage. I am saying that I have seen the battle flag seized as evidence, right or wrong.
Back in the mid 90's soldiers were forced to strip down to their underwear and were inspected for racist and gang related tattoos. The government approved list of bad tattoos included the confederate battle flag. Soldiers that had them had to justify those tattoos. And no, I'm not saying anything anti tattoo either.
On a side note most people don't know what the "Bars and Stars" is. It is not the battle flag, it was the first official national flag of the Confederacy. I see the Bars and Stars fly around here at the same frequency as UK or UofL flags.
Good first post.

Thanks I forgot about that being my first post lol. I do understand what you are saying and it's sad that you are right. Anywho I will proudly carry it on my hip![]()
So a Manufacture put a certain logo on my lower -then I should never use that gun for SD/HD or ever own it cause it could be used to portray me in a bad light? Really? Same with the -Never use reloads- BS! Well news flash- if your involved in an SD/HD shooting as we've seen in the GZ trial and they (DA) has it out for you your firearm or loads will be the least of your problems! Did the type of weapon and or ammo come up in the GZ trial? Nope!![]()
Flipside to this is that (AFAIK), GZ didn't have any markings on his gun what-so-ever (outside of factory ones). Hence why it (probably) did not come up during the trial.
As to what ammo was used, while that's not exactly on topic (along with reloading), outside of Hornady's 'Zombie max' ammo, I don't think there's any ammo being promoted for anything other than hunting, plinking or self defense (if it's even being promoted for anything to begin with). So again, that's (probably) why the ammo as well did not come up during the trial.
