I avoid placing socio-political identifiers on my home and vehicles. Violent imagery not only says "gun here to steal" but is probably pure gold to the persecuting shyster should you have to defend yourself. Also serves to invite vandalism and not part of the gray man plan. In addition, why alert malefactors to their peril before action is necessary? If you're going to have to shoot it's better if they don't start dodginging before you start shooting.
Not just that, but if you happen to be a Republican, putting up a candidate's sign during election season can open you up to vandalism.
It sucks looking around at neighbors, who in my neighborhood all have Carolyn Long signs up..... and other liberal identifiers on their cars, etc.... and know that they can go around supporting such things and never have a problem...
Knowing if I put up a sign for Herrera-Beutler or a 'vote Republican' sign up ... I would have them stolen or smashed.... maybe vandalism to my cars, etc.
Not as risky as wearing a Trump hat... but still, there is a risk
Funny times we live in.
