Concealed Carry Badge

[GBuck]

How is this thread alive? I thought the "badge" trend would pass when I started handing out my "I have a LTCH" tee shirts with big font.. Copied them off the "SHERIFF" AND "POLICE" shirts.

I like this one:

It should probably have BACON on it somewhere. Just sayin'...

Your wish is re-designed!!!!

^^ Looks good...but I think ATM meant that he wants to see actual bacon on the badge, not just the word

 

[ATM]

I like it!



...and yes, actual bacon slices would be even better.

And just like that, you have given me my new custom user title.

Glad I could help I am known to be pretty quotable, but most of what I say usually just flies under the radar. It always feels good to be appreciated though.

I am considering getting a badge since I only Open Carry and have done so for years. I used to be a Fugitive Recovery Agent years ago and I had a badge next to my Glock. A friend of mine, who is a Police Officer, gave me a Fobus holster and is giving me his Duty belt so that I can carry more mags. I don't pretend to be a LEO and I used to turn down free soft drinks etc. when offered. As soon as I can comfortably wear a light jacket, I do. So far no one has said anything to me including Indianapolis City Police and State Troopers. I want to make sure people are comfortable when they see my weapon and that the Police don't shoot me if I have to defend myself or help an LEO who is in trouble. Thoughts? I am still in the thinking stage. I will ask my Pastor tomorrow, who is a City Detective, what he thinks.

Thoughts?
All the bad thoughts.
The fact that this was ever considered a good idea, and that this thread was resurrected from the dead, leave me with bad thoughts.
A badge won’t make an officer feel more comfortable if they don’t know the person wearing it, or at least if they aren’t following a certain protocol.
A badge might get you killed or harassed these days, without the force of law on you side.
JMHO, YMMV, what do I know, etc.

 

[Yup!]

Welcome to INGO...

You've revived a 9 year old thread - lol, I don't think even time makes getting a badge a good idea. I'd even argue in todays climate where enough people are anti LEO, that you're even asking for MORE trouble than when this original post was started as a bad idea.

Hey, this is INGO and with this properly revived, I bet we can get 5 more pages out of it!

What you need to do is not worry about carrying a deadly weapon and just make your body into one. Look there on the you tube for some Diamond Dave school of ninja training videos. In a few short training episodes you to can be slanging some lethal Judy Chops. Just remember do not go ninjaing no bodies that do not need ninjaing.

Are you kidding? We NEED some entertainment.

Carry on everyone!
