Your in range 07/12/23
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was at the WallyMart the other day, parked next to a dusty pickup
truck. As I was leaving, I noted a sticker on the truck's back window.
It was shaped like a scope crosshair, and was surrounded with the
words (curved along the top and bottom):
"IF YOU CAN READ THIS"
"YOUR IN RANGE"
I suppose the implication there is that if a person is close enough to
read the sticker, a person inside the vehicle will shoot them. Or
perhaps the implication is only that someone inside the vehicle
*could* shoot them.
Never mind that somehow a sticker was conceived, produced, sold, and
purchased without anyone apparently noticing that "YOUR" doesn't mean
"YOU ARE". What is an "in range", and do I have one? How do they know?
Why is this sticker talking about my in range? What does my in range
have to do with reading the sticker?
