or a Sheep with a gun! I believe some people think a BG would be intimidated by the knowledge they are carrying. What those folks are failing to realize is that an amped up crack head really doesn't care and an active shooter would just know who to shoot first!

Seems like people that want to carry a gun and badge that bad should just go see if they can pass the police academy and at least get on as a reserve. The chances of being in the situation they are using to justify this type of gimmick are extremely minuscule.

If there was a shooting and the person is holding something that is reflecting, one should be concerned that somebody might think it is a weapon reflecting the light.

The best thing in that pouch is the card advising one to shut their mouth and wait for their attorney.

I don't plan on either a badge or a reflective sticker. My license is good enough for an officer and that's it.

The only sticker I have now is the Molon Labe sticker I just put on my car. ;-)
If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you carry a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

There is an online company who has a Molon Labe bracelet that I am dying to get. That will be the extent of my visual "signs" (if you want to call it that)... The paracord bracelet (for those who wear them) are not enough :coolgleamA: hee hee...

I read the fine print on this and it has been shown to be able to stop a 7.62x39mm at point blank range, (brown version only). I don't know why anyone wouldn't want three or four of these things...

There was a push years ago to enter ICE next to a specific name in your contacts on your phone. If something happened to you and your cell phone was found, the first responders would know who to call In Case of Emergency. The problem is most first responders have no idea this was even floated to people, so many wouldn't have nay idea what it means.

Unless it's standard for everyone, most won't know what it means, and it immediately stands out as abnormal.

The notion of a CHL 'badge' is silly.

In Texas they know already when they check your license plate. But they don't know if it is you driving your car. Therefore I always show DL and CHL right away. I don't think a sticker would make sense. More importantly, if you'd have a sticker on your car you actually invite the thugs breaking into your car.
Being pulled over out of state (OK, KS, AR, LA and MO) many times they always gave me my CHL back right away, walked of with my DL and insurance paper to check me out. I was not asked once if I carry while I was out of state.
