    browning stickers and car air fresheners

    I know it shouldn't bug me but it does. Why does everyone have browning stuff in their car who otherwise have no idea what it is. Young girl at work (navy issued mattress) has a steering wheel cover and air freshener with the browning logo. I innocently asked her what she shoots. Assuming naturally that the burned out light bulb had an actual browning product. But instead she gave me the puzzled look and then started to go on about how she didn't own any guns and wouldn't. Ever since the browning stuff on a females vehicle has bugged me. Why are people so inherently stupid. I am sure we are heading to a world not much different then the the one portrayed in the idiocracy movie.

    It's what they're striving for.

    I see a lot of Browning logos on clothing and vehicles around here. Most of the people sporting them here are also good ol' boys and gals who wear camo and are actually into hunting - at least according to the deer/archery/gun stickers that complement the Browning logo.

    Yeah around here the stickers usually denote the vehicle as being owned by someone who hunts. Sadly, the only Browning I've ever owned was a compound bow wich was ruined by sitting in the hot sun in the back of a 280Z in a parking lot at Ft Riley.

    I have browning floor mats don't get me wrong. Just that incident made me wonder when I see someone that doesn't fit the profile. I also own and regularly use a browning bps

    ^This. But also, generally people wear the Browning brand clothes, and hoodies, and put Browning Decals on their cars and trucks... Usually self proclaimed country people. Now most of these people at least legitimately hunt, but there's always a few that have never cleaned a deer in their life. Unfortunately, most of these people couldn't name a single firearm that John Moses Browning designed.
