Neither do I, I just have my gold coin collectors society stickers on my car. Figure that way if they break in and don't find any gold they will leave the guns alone.

I really don't get the sticker thing. As with all things in life, there is a risk/benefit assessment. The risks (vandalism or trouble in prosecution) may be small, but the benefit is exactly zero. Easy choice.

I have a liberal marathon runner friend. Added my 5.56 sticker as a joke. I'd never leave a firearm in that vehicle so it's all good and I really doubt most people get it. Now on the other hand somebody could make out like a bandit on loaded magazines.

This is the only sticker I've ever put on any of my vehicles (not counting the DoD window sticker when I in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club).

I did consider putting a "Run, Hilliary, Run!" sticker on my truck in 2016. On the front bumper, of course.

Not as good as “not guilty”, but better than 40 years.
Prosecutors have until June 6th to decide if they will retry the case.

If nothing else, this case proves that Minnesota needs a stand your ground law. Prosecutors relied heavily on the duty to retreat. I’m 52 with a bad knee (no ACL- it was torn before DRs knew how to reconstruct them) and 5 stents. I’m not sure I can out run a testosterone filled 17 year old anymore.

Those facts could be introduced by your defense attorney. Size, age, health all come into play.

In all cases, not being a hot head or even easily agitated is a benefit. I imagine that was part of the defense. Character witnesses that can prove that you are rational and generally not excitable could be extrapolated to show a true feeling of fear for life or great bodily harm from the interaction. I guess one way to handle it would be to remain in your vehicle until police show up. Don't even talk to the other party.
