This seems just too stupid to believe

Sometimes the badge doesn't even help. I was carrying CC at one of the local Malls some years ago. Security officer saw the weapon through my white shirt (my mistake) and freaked out. Showing her my Special Deputy badge didn't work; had to show her my ID to calm her down. I'm surprised she could read it...

. He was trying to CC but was printing bad. I noticed that first.

He laughed and said he wasn't a cop, like being a cop was a bad thing. So I said, what's up with the badge? He told me it was his concealed carry badge and proceeded to pop it off his belt and toss it to me. I said WTF is this? Told me he bought it at Don's.

I couldn't help but give a big belly laugh and told him to each their own but that piece of tin is retarded. If you're trying to CC, why are you advertising with a badge and btw...you're printing something fierce. You might as well OC. I you not he says OC is illegal in Indiana.

Let's count it down

Gay CC Badge - Check
Printing while trying to CC - Check
Not even knowing his rights to OC - Check
Him and his pals scoffing at me like I'm the idiot - Check

I think he passed the dillhole test with flying colors. He should keep the badge and display it proudly.

Man that sounds like my brother in law. Hes such an idiot looking for approval and trying to act tough and smart. Hell he told me that he bought rounds for his Mil. Pro .45 (which he thinks is the coolest weapon made to date. Not knocking it but come on.) for $15/100. I about my pants and almost shot milk through my nose after he said that. Me and another gun always talk guns since we're the husbands of friends, and he happened to be around and overheard us talking and chimed in. I dont like to bully people but this kid is a know it all, cant tell me nothin kind of guy.

Badges? Did someone say badges?

I will engrave anyone's badge FREE, providing I can engrave dumb on it.

I was being sarcastic !!!!!!!!

No ya weren't. You just realized we were joking about the wimmins losing their inhibitions at the mere sight of the badge

Watched a history channel show not long ago about Jesse James. The show spent some time following around some researchers looking for evidence of stashed cash and hide outs etc. All these guys were OCing and had badges on their belts. Had to pause the show (thank you DVR) to get a good look, sure enough "Carry" Badges. I'm guessing one of these things is the fastest way to get slapped with an 'impersonating and officer' charge if you ever did have to use you gun, or jumped in and helped in a deadly situation.... but then again maybe the sight of a badge will make the criminals realize how much of a BA you really are and they'll decide to go somewhere else. I'm patiently waiting for someone here to fess up to owning one of these things. I doubt they will, but with this site growing everyday and the lack of knowledge and common sense that we all periodically display here the odds are somebody's got one.... so who's got the balls to admit it?

I admit that I thought about getting one, and the only reason I didn't get one is because there were none I liked (still a kid at heart, and Halloween is still my favorite holiday because I can be a samurai).

There's an "assume the position" joke hanging out there...

The kid I sold an old car to this spring had a CCW badge on his belt. I asked him why he got it, and he said that he thought it would keep the bad guys away. I just said "oh" in response and beat feet out of there.

 

[Sgt Rock]

Saw those at the 1500 & thought "What kind of redneck moron would carry "Concealed" then wear a sign saying "Hey, look at me, I've got a GUN"! Then I noticed the vendor was wearing one. I had to chuckle.

 

[vitamink]

They say "concealed carry" because "tremendous douchebag" wouldn't fit.

 

[Old Reliable]

I think these badges are awesome. They go great with my tap-out t shirt.

 

[Sylvain]

If you dont like the idea of the badge you can go with this:

I guess the "idea" (well I guess it can be called "idea" even if its not a bright one) behind that is not to wear this all the time but somehow pull it out of your pocket and put it around your shoulder while you draw your gun with both hands and the same time.
And then when the police gets here I guess you stand like that still holding your gun hoping they wont shoot you because you have a cool "CCW" yellow miss-america-type-of-thing banner on you.

I wonder what they will come up with next ...

 

[ATM]

I wonder what they will come up with next ...

CCW helmets and capes.

 

[Expat]

CCW helmets and capes.

I have always wanted a nice cape.

 

[Sylvain]

CCW helmets and capes.

I guess you are right, they already have the shirts.

And hats ...

So cape and helmets must be next ...

 

[SgtBaker_21]

How about a cloak? Maybe some kinda Jedi style cloak so I can conceal my light saber, too.

I admit I bought one of these badges for my friend. Her husband got deployed to Iraq which left an attractive lady home alone with her then two year old son. I convinced her to go to the range with me and try out a few different firearms for home defense with the approval of her husband. She fell head over heals with the passion to shoot. She called me to meet her a local gun store and pick out her first of now five different firearms from rifle,pistol, and shotgun. When she got her LTCH I gave her the badge for her B-day. It was more of a trophy with her name and her first gun engraved on it. She loves it just for the sense of accomplishment of doing something new that was at first very scary to her, and excelling at it. Now I hate shooting trap with her because she makes me work way to hard to keep up. Her husband is home safe and sound and scolds me because she wants a Kimber 1911. All this to say I have no regrets for the purchase, sorry to disappoint.

In that case its different I guess, it makes a cool trophy.

THIS post made reading through the whole, long thread worthwhile to me! I really enjoy hearing about women who will step up, discover a fun hobby, and learn to protect themselves from harm all at the same time! AWESOME story! And yes, this is the only time I think a CCW badge would be a good thing.

I hope one day I get to see someone with a badge on like this. To bad I won't be able to make fun of them in fear of being sued for bullying.

I got a red badge...it's not one of courage, oh wait...it's a wing
