Just after some views before I decide or not.
I'm considering covering the tail gate of my pickup with reflective material but to be different I was going to do a Confederate flag designe.
At work due to my shooting / stalking activities I'm regularly called a "redneck / hillbilly" and think the designe would be fitting.
However the flag appears to represent many different things, I like the thought of sticking 2 fingers up at the gun control establishment but don't want to be associated with racism.
Your views please

are you not just increasing your chances of getting pulled over and getting hassle from the police? I'd also think resale value of the truck would decrease.

I don't see giving stick to the gun control 'establishment' as racism, unless indeed police are indeed a different race! but I do see it as counter-productive.

just my POV
 
Dificult one this, context is the important factor. The Confederate flag on a bumper is one thing, the same flag being flown at a KKK or similar rally is something all together different. Whenever I see one I think of Daisy Duke and that ain't such a bad thing.
 
Wingy,
To me it always sends a message out of rebellion "southern rebels" and you do see these flags hanging off harleys from angels gangs in Europe.
I think it sends totally the wrong message out to any people you might come across while stalking who are on the fence about "blood sports". Your truck is a stalking advert while you are not near it also. The realtree pickup from Roy Lupton looks yank wanabee to me too.
I have had 7 years living over there and the southern flag on a house trailer usually signified that white trash live here.
They lost their war so it is over for them but they will not accept it.
It is England where you live. If you want to play rebels then emigrate to the USA.
How about having a swastika on the truck instead? they lost a war too, and you are neither American or German.
Thats how the world works in my opinion.
This is not meant to be a ****y type post but I cannot express it clearer any other way.

I 'do' know that I would be careful putting rude depictions of the prophet muhammed on the back of your truck! LOL

Bandit I was just about to say the same, we have four flyin at the camp I am inat the moment , Bavarian we also have reb flags being flown by folks from below the Dixie line not trailer trash but two highly paid computer analisys, just drinking some apple pie and eating squirrel .:D
 
Wingy,
Stick what you like on your truck, its yours. The decal material should peel off when you come to sell it. Cant see it causing a riot.
