I'm not sure I can figure out what the legitimate use might be. What is your thinking?

Thought that I would weigh in here as a new carrier. I too thought this would be a good idea...until I found this site. I thought that if I was caught printing that this would alleviate some of the fears that a LEO would have. It may not be his stupidity that was front and center, but maybe he is just uninformed. Maybe approaching the guy and pointing him to this site could have made him a better carrier.

But, I have to admit wearing a badge and not carrying screams keystone cop!

A waste of metal that could be used to make more firearms, or shell casings for ammo. Who was the idiot that thought of CCW badges anyway?

Naaa, you don't say anything........ Just point and laugh!

Somebody who wanted to make money off of newbies with a new CCW.

Maybe he hasn't got his one round yet, so why carry.

I thought of these things more as a novelty, but makers of these also do legit LE badges too. All about money, not character.
