Badge Again

Gee, if I wear the metal Wells Fargo badge the bank gave me when I was kid, can I wear a gun too? It's got a nifty looking stagecoach and it says "Wells Fargo Agent" on it. Mind you, I'd only do this if I was in a state other than the one in which I am employed.
 
A possible point!WHo says he had a CCW?We are all assumeing he does.

Ya know they aren't called lead magnets for nothin. I think that he got the ccw if he has one for the prestiege and women. Someone who gets a badge for prestiege is a TRUE MORON. As for the women that are attracted to men with badges those are called (and I apologize to the ladies in advance) BADGE BUNNIES!! cause they hop around from one cop to another.

Just my .02 worth Poacher.

True, but seeing as he is more likely to be asked to present his CHL with the badge on...

Aw, who the heck knows. We've already established he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I always thought that these guys were buying the silly badges to put on belt-clips to put just forward of their pistol when they wore it under a jacket or vest or overshirt. Almost would make a certain amount of sense, even if it still would scream "cop wanna-be."
 
I can just see it now. He comes upon a crime scene and runs in to see what happened. Officer asks what the hell he's doing int he crime scene 'Well I'm sure this will answer all your questions. As he holds it towards the officer the cuffs go on. *Click*

My question is this...does he think that he is the only guy in town with a CCL since he NEVER sees anyone else with the badge on? Sounds like the kind of guy that tries to spit to look cool and winds up wearing it down his chin and all over his shirt. :rolleyes:
 
ckurts, I read the same article by Mas that you did.

Just a thought on this, MAYBE he was denied a CWL and he figures that if he adverizes that he's carrying when in reality he isn't it might make some BGs think twice about attacking him. After all, states with shall-issue laws usually see a decrease in violent crime over other states because BGs don't know who might be armed. So, there might be some merit to it.

Of course, I personally wouldn't do it because I would be afraid that while it might discourage most BGs, it might encourage a few others.
 
I went to get my permit the first day that Kentucky was accepting them. Most of the guys in line looked like late 30's - early 50's professionals.

Before you can get your CCDW you have to go through a 8 hour class - and that's where I saw some of the wierdo's. Don't get me wrong - most of the people were normal. There were two or three guys my age that looked like we all just got out of the military. Most of the rest looked like retiree's. But there were about 4-5 guys that showed up looking like "wannabe's" through and through. One guy had a 6" Colt Python in a shoulder holster. Another had a Ruger P-95 in a shoulder holster (Uncle Mike's special). Others had all lasered G-17's and other nifty guns.

You just had to shake your head.

I'll bet this clot was the guy in his CCW class who showed up wearing the "Kill 'em all, Let God sort 'em out" t-shirt, black BDU trousers and KGB "war trophy" belt buckle.

Ok I got to confess, I know this guy. He's the one with the sweatshirt tied around his waist. He's packing a Glock 17 on his 5'9" 145lb frame. He's got 2 extra mags. (one in his pocket, both pre-ban). A ASP baton, and OC spray. He's a security guard down at the Mall where he is known for his ablity to rough up kids and herass the girls at the Chick FilA. He carries a notebook with him at all times with the local authority numbers on it so he can call it in. He has had the cops called on him at least twice because he's a "Man with a Gun". When asked about this he will alude to "the conspiracy"
If you talk to him he'll ask what your packing, then decry it as "Not enough" explaining the need for at least 40 rounds of whatever. You'll explain to him your reasoning for your own weapon and he'll give you a disgusted look pull his sweatshirt back up and amble off.
Oh and the reason he give for the badge?
When he gets in to the gun fight with the West Side Bloods and is being engaged by the 7-8 bad guys with Uzi's, he can return fire knowing that any cops showing up on the scene will see his badge a realize he's one of the Good guys.
Scary thing is he WILL wind up getting into a gunfight with the West Side Bloods because he will see one of them in a fight with his "girlfriend" and go over there to "straighten it out"
Probably get capped by the "girlfriend" too.
