The first thing that came to mind when I saw the badge was you pull into a parking lot next to a police car as you exit your vehicle your shirt hikes up and the cop sees your .45 stuck inyour wasteband next thing you know your taken down from behind cuffed and his knee is grinding into the back of your neck until he finds out your legal maybe if he sees a shinney badge next to the gun he approches you in a less aggresive manor or if you standing in line in a store and someone notices you have a firearm if there is a badge clipped on your waist people may tend to be a little less jittery.

 

in regards to that.. I doubt it.. because there is no validation process to obtain the badge.. it literally carries no weight..

 

AND with the whole standing in line thing.. I have been in PA for a couple months now.. I open and conceal carry.. when I open carry no one is obviously nervous or jittery.. lol

I've seen some nice CCW Badges anyone have an oppinion about them.

Yea, they make me laugh, I'll stop there before I hurt anyones feelings...

Is this for real!?

Yeah it is.....omce you realize why Lessman came up with the idea, it actually starts sounding a little more reasonable....IMO it's actually a GOOD idea for plainclothes guys, there have been enough "Bue on Blue" incidents over the years to justify something like it. As for Off-duty/LEOSA/CCW..maybe not so good..it does have that 'Rarin-to-Go" feel to it...

 

Meaning the "Sash" thing..not the badges, which imo ARE plain dumb

It looks like the little toy badges I give to kids at work when they want to talk to a police officer.

Wouldnt plainclothes guys have real badges anyway? Why would they need one of those?

...until he finds out your legal maybe if he sees a shinney badge ...

 

If anybody can buy the thing, then what possibly can be the benefit to assure the police that you are legal? Might as well wear a t-shirt that says "not a criminal."

wow, I guess I shouldn't show pics of mine

 

ouch

And is worth approximately as much.

I know of a couple of dozen cases over the years where Off-duty, or Plainclothes cops have been shot my other cops because ALL they saw was the gun, and not the Badge.

Happens a lot. Tunnel vision on the weapon makes one miss what may seem obvious. That is why training is so important.

Oh, you mean wearing the sash??? If that's the case why not just leave them in uniform? Kind of defeats the purpose if they have to wear a sash in plain clothes. I worked in anti crime in Harlem. Being a white Irish American in a flannel shirt, jeans, baseball cap & work boots I wasn't to worried about being mistaken as an enemy combatant but none the less I always wore what I was supposed to so I could be more easily identified by uniformed cops.
