Title: What is this?
Post by: Twycross on December 18, 2006, 09:31:54 PM: I saw a guy today with a weird symbol on his jacket, one I haven't seen before. It was like the jewish six-pointed star, but the top two protrusions were rounded off into semi-circles instead of points. It was surrounded by some sort of wreath I couldn't fully make out.

And being a curious sort, I'm wondering if anyone here knows what this is a symbol of?

*grumble* And here I was hoping that it was some sort of secret society badge or neo-nazi gang emblem.

I finally figured out the AA sticker. That stuff drives me crazy.

I just googled "blue square equals sign" and looked at the first few results. Google is amazing.

Thanks. It's just one of those things that I wonder about whenever I see it on the car in front of me, but it's gone from my mind by the time I'm in front of a computer.

Man with a gun. I use that symbol as my avatar on non-gun forum.

Post by: Perd Hapley on December 19, 2006, 09:53:28 AM: Would that still be used, or is it a relic from Depression days?
Title: Re: What is this?
Post by: wingnutx on December 19, 2006, 09:57:17 AM: It dates back that far, but I don't know if anyone still uses those symbols.

Post by: Matthew Carberry on December 19, 2006, 09:58:48 AM: Those stupid "dove's foot peace signs" are relics from the Sixties and I still see them all over...
Title: Re: What is this?
Post by: Perd Hapley on December 19, 2006, 10:02:51 AM: I know I'm taking this too seriously, but symbols used by hobos probably never gained the widespread noteriety of something like the peace symbol. Anybody might want to express a wish for peace. Very few people were interested in identifying who had a gun in their house.

Sorry, carry on with the light-hearted thread now.

Post by: Matthew Carberry on December 19, 2006, 10:23:23 AM: I should've put some sort of smiley in that last post fistful. I was trying to be funny, not critique your valid question.

The hobo "man with a gun" symbol could be a neat thing to revitalize among gunnies, like "molon labe" gear, kind of a secret handshake.
