Won't happen. Wearing a CHL badge (although stupid) under current law does not constitute impersonating an officer. Now, if the guy wearing the badge represents himself as a cop then he's in trouble.
They would have a better shot going after these guys that wear shirts with "Police" and "FBI" on the back of them. These are much more common than CHL badges.

Would you start wearing it at that point?

Only if it were some kind of requirement. Otherwise, no.

Until DPS starts sending a badge with the plastic, I ain't touching a badge with a 10 foot pole.

The only one I've ever seen was under a glass case at cheaper than dirt. Seeing as how I never plan on walking thru the doors of CTD again, I don't ever expect to see another one.
