CCW badge

[Kid Stanislaus]

I've said before that if you're going to do this be sure to also get a Roy Rogers secret decoder ring to go with it!

I see Nothing Good that could come from having a CCW Badge

Problems ...Yes

Some CA issuing agencies will revoke your CA LTC permit, if they find out you carry/wear a CCW badge.

Site agencies or we can consider this up as BS....

I think a CCW badge is fine as long as you keep the badge concealed...

Buy it, and wear it on your underwear... and DO NOT show it to ANYONE...

And DO NOT let anybody see it... EVER...!

Including YOU...! DO NOT look at it...!

In fact... you will go BLIND if you look at your CCW badge...!

I could think of one. Say you're involved in a shootout, defending yourself or stopping a gunman, of course. Police arrive and you don't want to be mistaken for the gunman. Flash the badge.

It's a stretch, I know. Just hypothetically speaking.

Bad idea, forget it..

Okay... see how this sounds...,

You in a shoot-out... blah, blah, blah... okay - fine.

Police arrive... you reach in your pocket to pull out your authentic simulated
CCW badge... cop drills you with a 240gr SJHP... Because he thought
you were reaching for a ohhh I don't knowww... A GUN...!!!!!

But... oh WAIT... you just wanted to show the nice Police Man your really
cool CCW badge... oh WOW...!

I agree with Zircon John, This topic is pure BS!

Instead of showing a CCW badge to LEO's, it might be better to ask them what they want you to do. Just like non-uniformed LEO's might do in your situation.

After showing a CCW badge to LEO's, your credibility with them drops to zero.

LTC badge is to cool as sock in underwear is to truth.

That could happen. I was thinking more like from a far distance, though...

This is also true, and also the best thing to do.

Like I said, just hypothetically speaking. I don't recommend a badge at all, nor would I carry one.

Legal? I do not know.
Lame, dorky, uncool? Yes.
However, if used properly, it can save your life.

And then the cops think that you're one of the BG's trying to skate.

or

And then the cops shoot you because you were reaching for a weapon.
