Re: Conceal Carry Badge - Legal?
I think i have that badge... Was given to me some years back...as a joke if i recall correctly. I asked an LEO friend about it, and he said that any LEO who saw it would want to know what "official office" you were trying to represent being part of...as in you're saying you have authority to have a badge without actually having that authority...

I think the premise of having something to show the police in a situation where your gun is drawn on a felon, so that they dont shoot you, is a great idea. Unfortunately I cannot think of any legal way to implement this.
I'd say skip the badge, it's more trouble than its worth.

Yes there is, can't tell you why though. Just like we can't tell you why we touch the tailend of your car on traffic stops...
So are you saying that you would raise your gun into the air, then aim it at the ground, and then aim it at the bad guy again after doing so???Courage is not the absence of fear but the mastery of it

Well thats at least one retired officer ( 1861 ) and at least one other active duty officer ( Dave ) that seem to support my contention that ridiculing the idea of a CCW badge merely because of " mall ninja's " isnt maybe such a well thought out position . Im not trying to put words in anyones keyboard , but my read on their specific responses is that it seems to jive with the argument that in very narrow circumstances, having a badge displayed may in fact slow the situation down with regards to first arriving officers .
Which is all I was stating to begin with , that the discussion of the pro's and cons needed to be had in a well thought out and serious manner , instead of just tossing it aside with a snort of derision and a dose of sarcasmSi vis pacem, para bellum

Re: Conceal Carry Badge - Legal?
The office already has a card printer, used for LTCF issuance, so why not just use the same printer for internal IDs? A laminated piece of paper looks.... fake?
Are the full time act-2 deputies issued certification cards by PCCD/are they also issued mpoetc cert card, since they are also act 120?
