I guess OC would look like a LEO or a wannabe?

Mr. An, because of the extreme noise in his store from the gun fire, probably could not hear very well. He turned towards the police officers with his gun in his hand.

NEVER! EVER! Turn toward a police officer with a gun in your hand.

Nope, no thanks. Just as bad as the badge, can be copied, hard to see at more than a few feet, can't see LEOs finding it useful either.

If you must have one of these send me your pic I will make you one with your states emblem and all you relevant contact info including permit number for less money than this thing

Or how about a dark blue windbreaker or poncho that folds up into its own little pouch
LEGALLY ARMED CITIZEN
written in 2 inch reflective letters. When ever you are involved in a self defense shooting just throw it on

Seriously, I don't need a stinkin badge. What so hard to understand the good guy is the one with the gun standing over the bad guys body. Who immediately sets the gun down and does exactly what LEO tell them to do when they arrive.

I know this thread is a couple months old, but I did not want to start another.

There are a lot of animosity against CCW Badges and what not, and I am not very fond of it as well.

Many see this as a problem with LEO's but there are plenty of scenario where it can prevent you from being shot by another armed civilian.

Take this for example, you are the first responder to a robbery at the mall or something. You fire upon the BG, what is to stop someone else from shooting you when all they heard was a gunshot an came to investigate? Or the other way around, you walk into an establishment right as the GG just shot the BG, if you are untrained, you'll most likely draw upon the GG and in return he'll think you are the BG's accomplice and shoot at you as well. This could happen in any scenario where LE are not first on scene.

When you have to use your firearm in public, its not just the LEO's you have to worry about. What is worst than getting shot at by a LEO for saving someone's life? Getting shot by another CCW holder, thinking your the BG.

I'm failing to see where the badge comes into play in the above scenario...are you going to be waving it around in your off hand or are you hoping that they're observant enough to notice it stuck to your belt?

Worst case, you get shot by LE or a CCW'er after you've taken down the BG...at least you went down doing the right thing. If you're gonna jump in the game, you have to understand the risks.

As a CHP holder I am not a first responder. If I hear gunshots my responsibility is to find cover and protect myself, my family and call 911, not to investigate and see what is going on. Going to check out what is happening is a good way to get yourself shot.
If I walk into someplace as a shooting takes place, I duck right back out and call 911. I'm not a coward or insensitive but I'm just not a hero either.
