what's the purpose!!!!

[phil]

BTW, the badge on a cop's uniform is only a symbol of his / her authority, as well. Their actual "paper" stating their authority is the ID they carry, NOT their badge.

That's the exact same case as someone carrying a LTCH badge, their "authority" is on their "pink slip", and the badge is merely a symbol of that authority.

So, just like a et. al. badge.............

I think the big difference here is LEO, Firefighter, EMT, Corrections Officer, Parole Officer, Bailiff, etc. receives a badge with their uniform.

The CCW badge is purchased if you want it. Therefore, it does not even slightly compare to a "real" badge.

Just my .

Another real life incident about these badges:

Road rage incident, two guys are yelling and exchanging words as they are driving down the road. One of them we will call douche #1 displays a handgun. Douche#2 proceeds to laugh and show his handgun. Douche #1 then displays a badge and Douche #2 thinks he is a cop so he starts to flee. Unfortunately for both of them someone else called in their bad driving and obvious road rage issue and both Douches were pulled over. Douche #1 ended up going to jail for displaying the handgun in a threatening manner and his badge was found to be one like is being discussed here. Douch #2 did not go to jail as he was displaying his in a defensive although a stupid manner.

The above story is why I dont like the badges, because EVERYONE I have ever seen with one was a wannabe that couldn't be because of the overtness of their douchness.

I personally don't care if someone has one or not, just don't act like a douche while having it.

I am definitely getting one of those badges for my best friend's birthday.

Best gag gift for a gun owner ever.


I can't imagine what would possess someone to carry (or display!) one of those stupid things.

I like to carry mine on a chain around my neck while wearing a tactical vest with 10 extra mags and a personal gun-shot first aid kit strapped to it. with a HK USP in a thigh holster and a glock 22 in a shoulder rig, 2 openly carried J-frames (one on each ankle...that's right...over the pants), and one more BUG i keep concealed just in case the SHTF...Sometimes i forget to pack my LTCH with me since there isnt much room left for it, but that's ok cuz i have the badge

You could just wear an INGO hat...

I wear mine all the time, but DO NOT ask me about it!

QFT!

What if you get a tattoo of the LTCH/CCW badge?

I hear Roadie will do it if 100 people chip in 20 bucks. I'll be the first to throw in 20, if 99 more of you do.

What if you get a tattoo of the LTCH/CCW badge?

Then you could wear it right next to your gun...

To me a badge is alot like putting a big double stack wing on a grand am! Can you do it you sure can and you look like a total D-bag in the process.

 

[Armed-N-Ready]

There is one born every minute.

To part a fool and his money. If you make it someone will buy it. I don't need a badge to carry I have my pink slip.

 

[Manan]

The badges are available from merchandisers who want to make money from guys who want to play Cop.

Overtness of their doucheness FTW!! Funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Mind if I use it in conversation? And I also wonder if these are the ones who constantly apply for any open police officer position and keep getting turned down, month after month, year after year.

And I do also agree that the only purpose of a "CCW badge" is to separate the owner from money that could go to ammunition or bacon. A good gag gift if it's cheap.

 

[kingnereli]

In addition to the doucheness factor I don't understand the logic over going through the trouble to conceal a handgun and then wearing a trinket that lets everyone know you are hiding a handgun.

 

[SKSnut]

I'll just stick with my pink slip. We don't need no stinking badges!

 

[msgro22]
