I was surprised when I went to BassPro looking for gun accessories to see these next to the pistol holsters.
My first thought was, 'That's Crazy! I'd probably get locked up for impersonating a police Officer'.
Of course, I'm sure they would not be selling them in Bass Pro if that was the case, but it did get me thinking.
I can see advantages to having something like this while OC. Hang it on your belt next to your holster and the 'fear factor' might be reduced for the general public. LEO might use it as a cue that you are legal, etc...
But my own thoughts are mere speculation. I'm most interested in input from LEO about these things. What would your reaction be to seeing someone with a CCW badge on their hip or neck?
Does this his seem like a good or bad idea? I'm sure opinions will vary, just as I'm sure there are a number of possible bad outcomes here.
Let me know what you think.
