CCW badges

Don't need one...got a hat instead.

I've seen people around here wear them around their neck. Kinda defeats the purpose of concealed carry when you're sporting a badge that screams "Hey I'm packin!"

+1 Who needs a badge - I just wear my t-shirt with the arrow that points to my 3 oclock position and has the logo that says "does this gun make my *** look fat?". Just kidding but believe it or not I saw this on a real shirt.
 
While I also see no real use for them....I have known a lot of former "coppers" with badge collections. (A company some where has to be producing those fake or commemorative badges also.)
Except for the public displaying of the badge (on the belt or neck) seems almost the same to me.
Sorry...I'm sure that this is gonna make some guys mad.
Remember, I'm entitled to my opinion.
 
Don't got one. I do have a badge that says "Official U.S. Taxpayer."........But it don't get me no respect.
 
I hope keith44 means "Cavalry" not Calvary.
If he waiting for a religion to arrive....it is going to be a long wait.
 
It sure would simplify things if the criminals would just tatto "BADGUY" on their foreheads :D

Either one...Seems like an eternity ;)

Big ol badges...Big enough to make into a belt buckle. :D

Can I just taken my John Deere hat an put the badge on it?
Should I turn tha light on (/\ see abuv /\) all tha time, or jus when in a shootin?
 
I had never heard of them until now. I feel the words goober and dork fit the description of those who carry one quite well. Pretentious rectum seems fitting also.
 
It sort of reminds me of the Bounty Hunter badges people like Dog Chapman carries. That and his bean bag gun, or is it a paint ball gun?

As a retired LEO, whenever I get pulled over, day or night the officer that comes up to my car, finds the engine turned off, dome light on(if at night) and both of my hands are thru the steering wheel holding the dash. Most of the officers know exactly why I'm that way, will say, "Where is it"? I tell them and they either open my door and take it or say relax. and ask for my papers. It you show them something shiny, they will respond in kind, only their shiny may become flashy real fast. CCW badges are dumb.

Here in NC, if you are open carrying, it must be in plain view in the vehicle and not in your holster. I keep mine by itself on the front passenger seat. I went through a police checkpoint one afternoon, and the first thing I said to the officer as he was coming up to the car was "Sir, I have a loaded firearm on the front seat. How would you like for me to proceed?"

He asked for my driver's license. I asked him if he would like for me to step out of the car for his safety. He smiled and said if he didn't see mine, I wouldn't see his. :D

I gave him my license. He asked what I had. I said I had a Model 10. He said he carried one when he first became a cop.

Gave me my license and told me to have a good day.
 
I'm waiting for the t-shirt-
I'm a proud member

Of course, the wearer would need his nifty badge to prove it true.
 
I've got a great idea!!

Let's get some forum badges made up!

"Pardon me ma'am, but I'm from the Smith-Wesson Forum, and here's my badge".
