DO NOT put gun signs/stickers up. It's an ongoing joke that a Glock sticker on a truck means "free gun inside".

Imagine a wifi camera strapped to a glock, that's a fun mental image.

Same principle applies; if you have a sign up warning people that you're armed, that means that there are free guns inside, as long as they wait until you're away or asleep.

It's like, don't put the empty box for the $5000 television set out with your trash, put it out with someone else's trash, so that people don't know you just bought a brand new expensive piece of electronics.
