Curses!



I hope it stays open just for that!

Because I open carry, that is a clear indication that I have license to carry...most criminals wouldn't dare give away the fact that they are breaking the law.

I always duct tape a complete copy of the U.S. Constitution to my chest when I open carry. That eliminates the need to explain although due to the first amendment they have every right to express their opinion too.

Thanks Security122, I am realizing that..

Also finding out how thick skinned a poster has to be to hang out here…

The reason I brought it up was the other night at dinner with my GF I was asked by the server if I was a cop. So I asked some people I know why they always assume if they see a gun that it’s a cop and not just someone exercising their rights..

Soooo sorry to have brought it up..

Whomever has the power to delete this thread please do..

Don't be sorry to have posted this. Don't let the ribbing discourage you from posting here. Just people joking around, that's all. Anything that remotely has anything to do with OC vs CC will result in a bunch of BS, and not necessarily serious BS.

I guess I need to find better search parameters, I looked for this subject but used LTCH so my mistake for bringing up something that had been beat to death..

I mentioned that I would get slapped around asking the question. I guess you can just delete the thread..

Don't take it too personally. The search function ain't the best and some people forget that there's a larger world out there that hasn't had the privilege of participating in every INGO thread ever created.

Indeed...if you use Google, you'll get much more accurate results.

The short answer is no, you wouldn't be impersonating an officer as security guards do this all the time. Presenting yourself as an officer then displaying the badge just adds to the totality of the circumstances. They make these already. Here's an example but there are many others.

My 2cents...Though you may not be impersonating an officer, with this badge you will be impersonating a douche bag.

Prolly if you're carrying that badge, you don't have to "impersonate" a DB.



ETA: Dang, scooped!!!

I do not think you would be impersonating a DB, you would be a DB...

I just look for the guy OCing his rifle downtown Indy on the Circle, good enough identifier for me

I honestly did not know there were these "carry badges" and I agree it would make a person look like a DB or like a wannabe..

I had an interesting conversation with a LEO this evening, he was taking a break sitting in a local grocery store parking lot when I went to grab some goodies and I stopped to ask him his opinion.

I asked him about open carry, he said never open carry. He also stated that if I carried concealed or open and someone called 911 that he said normally the responding officer would warn me the first time and that the second occurance they would take my weapon. I didn't argue, just said thanks, have a safe evening and walked off.

I find it funny that the whole time we were talking he was trying to figure out if I was carrying..

I don't take anything personal anymore, except a threat to me and mine....

Don't feel bad... stick around.

Here are a few other things that'll get you slapped:

• Mentioning "tactical advantage" in the "Where did you OC today" thread.
• Shopping at Dons or Pop Guns (which, by the way, sells a CC badge).
• Asking "which is better, Glock or _________".
• Telling people they wasted their votes on a Libertarian.
• Telling people they wasted their votes on a Republican.
• Voting Democrat.
• Saying handgun "permit".
• Complaining about spelling.
• Complaining about those who complain about spelling.

That's about it, I think. to

A reason for the OC walk in Indy on Black Friday, cops need to quit making up the law

How can one be so dangerously misinformed about their own job?

Yeah, they're s'pose take it on the first occurrence, aren't they?

 

[ATM]

Yeah, they're s'pose take it on the first occurrence, aren't they?

Clearly.

 

[PatriotPride]

This should go well.

Optimistic.

 

[PatriotPride]

I wish. The idea of the police paying me a righteous sum of money sounds very appealing to me.

[hbarnett1]

Does anyone know where I can get some plastic handcuffs to wear next to my badge!!!!!I want to look like an official D B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

agree 100% plus why spend money for a badge that says you can carry when you have already paid to get the pink paper.
