Never. First, I would like like a poser (more than normal), and second, I would be impersonating a leo.

Yeah, not so much. I can see no benefit, and all sorts of potential pitfalls. I'd pass.

Last thing I want is a big shiny target somewhere on my body. If I walk into the stop and rob and chico is holding the place up he is not going to look to see if it says Police, or CCW. He is going to start sling bullet my way.

Good way to get yourself into trouble one way or another.

From my understanding, they have no merit with the law, so they're just a show-off tool. I would vote no on one.

You are correct...they look nice thumb.gif But....IMO....you do not need one smile.gif Kind of wish they did not even sell them. I feel that identifying yourself in that manner would bring more "negative" attention to you than it could ever do you any good. smile.gif And you don't even want to think about the difficult situations the little badge might get you into sad.gif

I have neve met an LEO who approved of them. In CCW class in OK students are specifically advised DO NOT buy or carry a badge.

Badges signify a person of authority, as a CCW permit holder you have no special authority. Therefor they are stupid cereal box trinkets.

I agree with all of the comments already listed, and would like to add one more. Some LEOs really DON'T like them. If you are stopped by a LEO and are armed legally, the last thing you want to do is pi** him off.

Yeah, they're scary. But what if they were required? Then they'd be cool. animlol.gif We could all be posers, dammit.
