The right to keep and bear arms and the right to protect your home go hand-in-hand. To help gun owners get this message across to would-be intruders or criminals, Denny Derflinger of Winchester, Virginia, created the “I Carry and Protect” Home Security Decal.

“By putting this decal on your car or home, it tells an intruder that you have a gun and you are going to protect yourself,” said Derflinger.

The concept was developed about a year ago, and according to Derflinger, “The simplicity of the decal has overwhelmed the public.” Gun owners can display this decal in the window of their home or vehicle to assert their rights and deter crime. For only $4.75 (including shipping), you can purchase the first line of defense. A portion of each purchase benefits NRA’s youth shooting sports programs, which reach millions of children each year.

This little decal sends a big message, and you can purchase your “I Carry and Protect” Home Security Decal online or in one of many Virginia locations.
