Surely you can see the distinction between a NRA sticker on a car versus a MC created to support the 2nd amendment that sports guns on their patch. The cops don't care about your NRA sticker on your car, but they might raise an eyebrow when they see this MC roll by.

Oh I understand allright, and I agree the patch is a little over the top. Don't wear patches or belong to any clubs and have no interest in this one either. While most agree the patch is too much it is their thing. Live and let live if they ain't bothering me or mine I really don't have the time to give a rats azz.

While I applaud the concept, I would think that patch would raise a few eyebrows. The right to wear the patch is/or was protected under the 1st Amendments freedom of speech and assembly. With the government's demigod of "terrorists" the right to either amendment has greatly decreased. Even in open carry states police can and do detain those exercising their 2nd amendment rights for disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct. The days of unabridged Constitutional rights are long gone.

If your old enough, do you remember being able to go to school with a rifle in the truck rake and parking in the school parking lot? Do that today and you'll have a nice little government paid vacation.

Not all that bad.My CCW permits are all in with my DL,so it's the first thing they see. They always HAVE to ask if I'm carrying,and I just laugh. Like I'm going to donate a 4,000 dollar pistol to a foreign government. They just laugh and I go on my way.Wearing a patch ain't ****.Wearing No patch, and a gun,is better.

Yep, I was asked if I was carrying when I entered. Those crazy Canuks want to make sure I don't bring any guns in or take any Cuban cigars out. Neither one worth the trouble.

There's a number of counties and cities here state side that wouldn't find it very amusing either , then there's the hoods were seeing that patch they'd run your *** over just to get the gun . I swear some people are dumb as a damn rock when it comes to basic common sense .
