CCW Badge

MFinn

Some states require the use of a badge and others prohibit them. I met a fellow at a gun store the other day, he wears one by his gun on his belt. Told that if folks see it they also see the badge, kind of calm them down.

Sounds like somebody is trying to look like a police officer.

And, be careful, it is a crime to falsely identify yourself as an officer, and a lot of badge styles are reserved for Police Agencies only.

I carry mine along with my CIA badge. My business card says Dr. Ripley, Brain Surgeon and Ace Plumber.


That really helps me pick up chicks at bars... that and the other lies I tell. [:D]

They try to push them off on locksmiths, too. Just a fast way for somebody to make a buck. I always figgered they were just for posers.

Badges can get lost, I have the image tattooed on my chest.

Whether you are a cop wanabe/poser or not, if you have the badge that's what people are going to think you are. That's reason enough not to get one.

I usually try to be polite, but when I see one of those I can't help laughing.

I think they should come with a matching t-shirt that says:

"I'm wearing this phony badge because I have an extraordinarily small BallPark Frank". [:D]

No laws I know of that says you must carry a Badge for CC, I always thought it was stupid. Its not illegal as long as you dont try to use it in any manner to identify yourself as a LEO. I would recommend you just avoid it all together, and have zero problems.

Why can you say dick, but not BallPark Frank?

They sell those badges over on the auction side--I would not buy one.

I always wanted a CCW badge until I found a plastic firemans hat with the flashing light on top.

I guess that's why there's no "BallPark Frank's Sporting Goods" but there's a "Dick's". [:D]

Perhaps we should get a pool going.....

I feel like anyone who puts on a badge puts a target on themselves. If I'm carrying, I don't want anyone to know, and I think those who were some sort of hat or badge advertising CCW are foolish.
