I know this has been asked and answered but I saw a guy with an official looking badge on his belt at a cafe the other day and asked him about it. It was a Conceal Weapon permitt badge.I have heard about these and always thought they were "cheesy" and let it go. He told me he wears one so if he shows his pistol while getting hos wallet out or whatever the folks around him wont freek out.
Just wondering what yall think about them and if they are even legal to carry one in Texas.

I prefer a tiara myself

creates many more problems that it solves..

Herre we go again.

OMG!!! Where to start?

The CHL badge is generally considered to be in extremely poor taste and rightfully ridiculed without end. Use of one as anything other than a gag gift should be discouraged.

How will your friend respond if someone asks him if he is a cop? I am curious to know what some of our resident LEOs would do if they saw this. Would you guys just start laughing uncontrollably or would you say something to that person or would you arrest them?

In this day of morons impersonating LEOs and driving around stopping people to rob them or worse, I think carrying around a CHL badge, especially in this manner, is a profoundly bad idea.

If you don't ask or search you won't know. Don't be afraid to ask a question after searching there are many knowledgeable people here that will help you!

I like the Neon Green sash with reflective letters myself.


Seriously Gig,

If you saw someone with a CHL badge and you were on duty what would you do? Do police departments have procedures for this?

And I'm sorry I thought this was a friend of yours. I glossed over the part where you said it was just someone you saw in a cafe.

Was this him?

Reminds me of this guy whose entire motorcycle is dressed out to look like a Police Motorcycle.

Anyway, so he's impersonating a concealed WEAPONS Permit holder when he is only a concealed HANDGUN Licensee? That's deceptive and not honest if he has no permit to carry brass knuckles etc like in Florida where they issue "weapons" permits.

The tiara might look good on you. Me, I prefer the cape.

I'm undercover....umm I mean concealed. No one sees the gun so the badge is a bad idea.

How do you tell if its a costume or a real zombie?
