CHL Badges - Page 12

lol, I almost thought this was a joke. This is a horrible idea for many reasons. CC is for personal protection, not for the community, so why would you advertise to the community that you have a CHP?

The situation mentioned on the webpage was a bad one regardless. Mr. An should have never left the store in the first place.. Chasing down robbers in the street and firing at them while they are fleeing? Thats crazy... No "CC Badge or Pouch" would do anything to help in this situation.

Plus, the item being sold looks like it was made in someones basement with a 25 year old sewing machine and a piece of yarn..

What's to prevent BG's from buying one of them?

My permit is enough id. Mr. A was in the wrong for chasing the bandits into the parking lot and firing at them. The threat was over when they exited his store. Feel bad for him, but he was a victim of a robbery and also his own stupidity. Plus anyone yahoo can buy a id badge, or pouch or even fraudulent police items ie caps, vest etc, so having such an item is no guarantee you are a good guy. When an officer points his gun at you and tells you to drop yours, you had better do so ASAP. Common sense should have told Mr. A to drop his gun and later explain himself to the police, when they no longer felt threatened. Pouch would have made no difference.

I'll just wear my class 4 vest and Kevlar helmet when I carry. Thanks anyway.

If a cop is 20 yards away and at night, that badge isnt going to be much good... Who is going to even think of flipping that thing down in a stressfull situation?

+1 To add, just because you have a permit doesn't guarantee that you are the good guy. Probably so but no absolutes.

Wouldn't purchase that as either a CCW or a LEO. I started wearing my badge off-duty on a chain because I feel its more likely to draw any responding officers attention when its in the middle of my chest rather than on my belt. Tunnel vision does happen. I wonder if the LEO'S would even see something like the pouch described even if it was opened since their focus would be on the gun. I agree that your weapon should be holstered or on the ground by the time LEOs arrive, or if not, that you immediately comply with their directions.
