I saw these advertised on, of all plcaes, Facebook. Forgetting for a minute about what most you y'alls opinion is of FB, can you believe anyone would sell these, let alone wear one????
Not me!!

I see, according to your name, you are an extreme dyslexic with tourettes syndrome.[:D]

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Many, many times. They're also for sale on the auction side.

what's the big deal if someone wants a badge? I'm not going to wear it, but it might be fun to whip it out with my CCW permit! [:D][:D]
If I'm ever in a shooting and the cops are coming, the last thing I'm gonna do is whip it out.[:D]

My guess is it would not help the cause. I think wearing one would make you look foolish. I think it would give you roughly the same amount of respect afforded a mall cop...
always like that it that movie

Ah, well. I have not been here all that long, just a few months.

what cause is that exactly? Again, I wouldn't wear one.

You may think I am overstating this, but the cause of the Second Amendment. Seriously.
With some people, we have a credibility problem. No sense giving them more, uh, ammo for their arsenal...

how does a decorative badge create a credibility problem? I guess I don't see that at all.

Remember the first impression is the one that sticks with strangers, don't just walk into room , do a running shoulder roll.
I carry one on a chain around my neck because I'm deep deep undercover.

You mean you don't always do that? Heck I just shoulder roll around everywhere...don't even walk anymore.

If you're going for "cred" with that badge, all that's coming across is "lame."
you want a badge, be a cop. I'd bet the guys who would wear this sort of badge for cred would wear jackboots if they became a real cop.
It's kind of like the guys who have thousands of dollars worth of military gear and imitation military gear and play games with airsoft guns, because they never joined the military or fired a real gun (not talking about those who use airsoft for actual formal force-on-force training.)

Keep in mind, I'm just playing devil's advocate here. It's not that I think they would create any sense of credibility... it's a decoration... I'm just saying I don't see how it hurts it. That is all.

It is the idea that you want to give the impression of being some sort of authority. The idea that you WANT people to notice you.
It is legal here in Indiana, from what I gather, to open carry. I am not of the mind to do so. Removes the element of surprise, for one thing, and beyond that , I just don't want people to know that I am carrying.
No sense hanging a badge on my shirt advertising to one and all.
And, I still think people would look on that badge with derision. People associate badges with police, etc, and to try to make myself look important makes me less credible.
checked your profile for your location. had to google bryant. THat's a bit far from anywhere I normally drive. I live in South Bend but get as far as Warsaw pretty often.

Leslie Nielsen, God rest his soul, perfected the running shoulder roll entrance in the Naked Gun movie, although I suspect it was his stunt double executing the maneuver.
that was funny
The CCW license, proof of insurance, and your driver's license should do just fine.
Carrying a badge to say "Hey! I got a piece of paper that say it's O-TAY by the Gub'mint for me to have me a hidden gun!" is just plain Paul Blartish.

Didn't know you were in Indiana, sohigh.

Bryant, as you know by now, is about 40 miles out of your way. From anywhere...

I can believe they would sell them. People sell dumbchit all the time(and other people buy dumbchit all the time).
I would hope no one would be dumbchit enough to actually wear/carry one.
They are handy for cops, b/c it makes a really easy "impersonating a LEO" case when the tools use it

I still have a couple real badges, if I wanted to wear a badge I'd wear them. I don't wear them anymore because I got sick and tired of the BS politics. I wouldn't want a fake badge, I just don't see any good that can come of it.
other than the lawman from rolling on the ground laughin so hard
