Badge Again

I took some letters to the post office and decided to walk down to the book store and check out the gun magazines. There he was. Proudly walking, holding his really silly looking girlfriend's hand and wearing a big, shiny silver badge on his chest that said " Licensed Concealed Weapon Carrier". I shook my head in disbelief. How could a dummy like this have qualified for a Kentucky CCDW? Then I remembered the dummy who had just blown through the redlight missing the old couple by inches. He must have qualified a drivers license. Sigh...more Algore voters.

Disgusted,
Will

There are places that make badges that say almost ANYTHING. I just never figured I'd run into anybody stupid enough to buy something like that. I was wrong.

There are private companies that make these badges. They buy lists of CCW license holders from the states under the Open Records laws and offer to sell you a badge. These badges are a BAD idea -- you can get busted for impersonating a law enforcement officer.

I give 3 to 1 odds she was holding his strong hand (his gun hand). When the local gangbangers accost them, what do you think she's gonna do with her hand?
a) throw it up above her head?
b) sucker punch the closest bad guy?
c) sqeeze really hard while grabbing his bicep with her other hand?

Lest I come under fire from the more empowered females on this Board, I remind you that this is a woman walking around with a man who has a CCW badge on his chest.

This is just too funny.

"Uhh, excuse me, bad guys. Ummm, my name is Dum-Dum and I have a gun and I want to tell you about it well in advance so that you'll be aware of this fact and get the jump on me should you wish to put my life in your hands..."

Uh, this may be a stupid question, but if you're wearing that badge, WHAT'S THE POINT OF CARRYING CONCEALED?!!? EVERYONE KNOW'S YOU'RE CARRYING!!

Idiotic...

Rich,
You may be right. As I was standing there with the "shocked as sh!t" expression on my face while staring at dummy, I did notice that the silly looking girlfriend was holding his right hand. Most people are right handed, so I guess you called it. I also looked at his beltline, but I couldn't spot the piece. As he walked by me he actually lifted his nose a little. I guess that somehow, that badge gave him a feeling of superiority. At first I felt like he was wearing a big "I'm Really Stupid" target on his chest, then I felt sorry for him. Any man who uses a silly badge that he purchased from an add in the back of some magazine to feel superior, is really deficient in other ways.
This is the first time that I've seen anything like this. Somehow, I thought the "badge" posts which I have read previously were jokes. Now, with my own eyes, I've seen one of these guys.
I just don't know what more to say.

Disgusted at noon,
Will

Everytime I see an ad for one of these CCW badges I wonder what kind of moron would actually buy one of these things.
Considering that the vendor has to pay for these ads and the frequency that I see them run in various publications, there must be more people buying them than we realize.
If the vendor wasn't making a profit sufficient to pay for this advertising, we wouldn't see these things at all.
Kind of scary!
 
Badges....BADGES... We don't need no Steenking Badges ;)

The only time I ever saw such a thing was on a local guy who has gone through countless personae: a soldier, a cop (he'd wear every badge and tin toy known to mankind in addition to stuff affixed to his car), a singing cowboy, a private eye (complete with ads in the paper) and, for the last ten years or so, he's been Elvis. That's the most stable he's been! (And he's not a bad Elvis, either!)
I suspect there are more of them than we know.
 
Doesn't that badge scream out "wannabe?"

Would anyone who spent the time and money for a concealed carry permit actually buy and wear one of these. Please tell me the answer is no. I mena, you actually get a license with your thumbprint on it and all in my state, what else do you want?

Dumbfounded,

If I was a Bad Guy I would use the badge as a target, and steal his winch afterwords (along with his wallet). Since I'm not I would probably just grin my "your in idiot" smile, chuckle under my breath, and shake my head a little. Which I do often.
 
well....how does that C&W song go....."HERE'S YOUR SIGN"

Looks like the tin badge is his "sign". ;)

I read an article by Massad Ayoob in which he stated that in his experience, the criminal group most associated with fake badges was sex offenders. He recommended that anyone considering getting a CCW badge should have it engraved "Strange Ranger". :D
 
"winch or wench, PB?"...straight D's in English classes. Remember that comment was being spoken from a bad guy's stand point. Not my own.
