Would it be useful to have special license plates or stickers for gun owners who travel with their guns? That way law enforcement would immediately know they were dealing with a gun carrying motorist, even before they pull them over.

It could (would?) also allow criminals to target them for break ins since stolen guns are very marketable. It may be best not to advertise that your (parked) vehicle is more likely to contain highly desirable cargo.

This system already exists in reality, except it is only on the computer screens of any and all law enforcement.
ANYONE who is issued a CCW by any state, already has their tags flagged as being a gun owner by law enforcement from any other state, and is possibly carrying.
That is the main reason I refuse to get a CCW.
Horror stories abound where in gun hating states, people have been pulled over and searched just because their tag came up as the owner having a CCW.
Then if they do not find any gun, they drive away, leaving all your crap strewn about on the side of the road for you to put back in. This kind of crap happens all the time.
Maryland, and Illinois are some of the worst offenders.
How about one of those stickers like the "Baby on Board" stickers? It could say, "Coward on Board."

Just. No.
I may or may not be carrying my gun, first of all. Secondly, stolen guns are a valuable commodity. I don't want to inadvertently put a target on my back.
Hands on steering wheel. I have a legal firearm in a holster in my waistband. Obey the officer's instructions to the letter. Remember, he just wants to make it home at the end of his shift.
Some, not all, jurisdictions correlate licenses and registrations to driver's licenses. That's fine. They should all do it. But advertising to strangers? No way.
And what is the benefit? The danger to police officers is the criminal that would not have said sticker or plate.
Wait - I thought the pro-gun argument is that carrying a gun makes you safer, rather than putting you at greater risk for being attacked. When someone has a sticker on their home window advertising they have a security-system, it doesn't increase the risk of being burgled. But now you're telling me that advertising that you're carrying a gun increases your risk of being attacked. To me, that's a contradictory argument compared to what pro-gun people usually say. So according to what you've said, the gun has no deterrent value, and advertising that you're carrying a gun just means you're at greater risk, not lesser risk.
This undermines the pro-gun argument.
