Conceal Carry Badge - Legal?

[Maryland Comrade]

>For the guys here that got the Fla. permit, did you get a badge offer?
I didn't. The only possible value I can see in having a badge would be if you get "microwave radar scanned" out on the street. The scanner-guy might also see a badge "of some sort" and give you the benefit of the doubt that you're a cop "of some sort". They aren't looking to stop everyone with a gun, just those "without badges".

Well, I'm sure NY/NJ/CA are already looking into it.

"if I ever meet a fellow gun owner carrying and or displaying one of those badges, I think I'd open hand slap them in the face."
It's stupid, thoughtless, ignorant and thuggish comments like this one (and attitudes) that piss off anti-gunners (and gunners too, and rightfully so) and make it harder for those of us who should be able to legally carry and shoot guns to do so.
If I were the issuing authority reading your post Iwould see you as unstable and I sure as hell would permanently revoke your right to carry.
I think you might need your little pistol if you tried to hand slapped me-- and yes, I am PA licensed to carry a handgun (badge or no). I'm respectful of others and would only use my weapon in a life or death situation.

Your first post and you revive a 2 year old thread?

Do you realize that you raised a dead thread from 1-1/2 years ago? It's like arguing with a cow when you respond to such an old thread.

Are you saying this is a moo point?
