CHL Badges - Page 4

Hey Guys,

I take all the badges you don’t want.

I drill small holes in them, attach a swivel in each hole and attach to a fishing hook. They make great spinners.

Have occasionally used them under the kick stand of a motorcycle. Works pretty good, but kinda ruins them as spinners.

We don't need no stinking badges.

Look, I approach this forum like I approach work...

Half asleep and slowly. But seriously. My work requires exact attention to detail, 100% procedural compliance and complete confidence that you are doing the exact right thing at the right time. We have a policy where I work...

The ONLY stupid question is the one you DO NOT ask. I feel we should, when queried by our fellow members, answer their questions with the same courtesy and thought that we answered the question 3,6,12 or 18 months ago. Sure it takes time, but if we didn't have the time would we be here in the first place?

Ignoring my rant (sorry guys!)

Probably not a good idea. But if you like it, and it stays as concealed as your gun, who are we to judge?

The big perk/disadvantage to CCW badges is that you might be mistaken for a cop. That could be a good thing in some circumstances (accidental display of a weapon in Wal-Mart or some such place), but I reckon that LEOs could tell you that being a cop doesn't always entail the best of treatment.
Somebody decides they need a cop, and come up harassing you to get you to help 'em oust a relative or neighbor or some such. Or they decide that shooting a cop is good for their reputation on the street.

My take is that the "badge" is nothing more than law and order wannabes trying to get in the back door and most likely getting shot doing it.

Well I think this thread has served it's purpose.

Badges are for LEOs and people in some official capacity.

This is getting locked but will remain a sticky so newer members will hopefully see it, read it, and come to the same conclusion.
