CCW Badge?

[capturedlive]

I recently took the Utah CCW course and am awaiting my permit in the mail. A guy recently showed me his in a snazzy case with a gold badge - it was pretty cool. I see websites online that sell said badges, but they are quasi-official looking and I was wondering if I could aggravate an LEO (while traveling in an approved state) having it with my ID. Any thoughts?

Dont do it. We appear crazy enough to the general idiots out there. Adding a badge will put it over the edge.

If you try to LOOK like an LEO, & you're NOT, it will bite you in the azz eventually. My plastic, state-issued ID, has always sufficed.

This has been covered before. If you want it for your desk as a coolness factor, so be it. DON'T carry it with you. I'd rather invest in a good wallet (id holder) that opens up and shows license with CCW/LTC.

This way, if I get pulled over, I can hand my ID to LEO and it will automatically communicate that I am an LTC holder.

Concealed means concealed. Something "announcing" you are carrying seems contrary to that.

Your permit is the only thing you need, and IMO the only thing you should carry on your person, for informing LE you are a valid permit holder, should circumstances or common sense require you do so.

If you want ccw'ers to be labled as vigilantes, this seems like a perfect way to do it.

If you want a badge, go through the Academy and get hired.

The last time I sent away for a badge to pretend I was someone I wasn't, I was 7 years old and got the address off the back of a cereal box.
