I agree, bad idea to carry one. I really don't see the benefit. Regardless if you are displaying a "Badge" or not when the LEO arrives at a SD shooting scene you should be treated as a possible threat until they could determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
 
Flash it just right and it will revoke your gun rights for ever.... its called impersonating an officer, and while its funny on TV when people flash a tin star and act like a cop, in real life it's a ticket to be Bubba's little bunk mate.
 
I didnt mean to offend, but my thought is that when and if I do retire, Im just going to say goodbye to my previous work and will not return. If I were a retired policeman, then I would simply leave the badge in the picture frame and hang it up on the wall.

Thats just my style, opinion and way of doing things. Others might have a different way or opinion.

If I am working then I am working, if I am retired then I am retired.
 
I and any real copper will be a cop until the day I/we die. Whether or not I receive a paycheck does not matter in the least. Being a cop is not a job it is a way of life.


I will always have the power of arrest. A citizen has the right to make an arrest, and make them everyday. Everytime they sign a complaint they are making an arrest, I am just doing the paperwork.

Don't get me wrong, I am not looking for trouble I am watching for it.
 
Wagonman says it right!

It's JUST like the old adage: You CAN take the country boy out of the country, but you CAN'T take the country out of the country boy! Once you've genuinely developed a police officer's MINDSET, it's PERMANENT!

You won't go looking for trouble, but if IT comes LOOKING for YOU, "Katie bar the door"!
 
CCW Badge

Do youz think you be the POLICE?:confused: Bad idea!!!!!:eek: The badge is USELESS:eek: Means nothing, the permit in your wallet/ pocket is all you need. Someone see's you flashing that CCW badge and notifies the police you will be charged with impersonating the man. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 and get to stay in the gray bar hotel. Maybe even lose you CCW permit and possibly the right to own any firearms in the future.

If you are going to carry and flash a cereal box badge, you might as well also get a Wyat Earp hat to go with it, make the outfit complete.
 
Guys, this has come up several times over the last few years, and every time, the opinion is almost unanimous: It ain't a good idea.

Further, those who defend it stand firm, and it invariably descends into a peeing contest.

The noise here is starting to outweigh the signal, making it head in that direction. Best we close this one, methinks.
