Not only are there no signs, but very few LEOs let people know where they live. Most keep their phone number unlisted/unpublished to help keep it secret. And most government records that have home addresses (like property tax and city/state employment) are considered confidential and not open records if the person is a peace officer or judge.

However, quite a few LEOs drive their squad cars home and park them right out in front!

If Erik Scott would have had a "badge" on his belt he may still be alive. I don't think the "badge" concept is such a bad idea. You are not representing yourself as an LEO but as a LICENSED Concealed Weapon Carrier. A badge with your CHL in one spot doesn't sound so stupid to me now because of the Erik Scott incident. Anything you can do to keep LEO from opening fire on you is okay with me. Just a mere second of, oh wait, when seeing a "badge" could mean the difference between going to jail and going to the funeral home. If a LEO laughs at you cause you have a "badge" ask if he has heard of Erk Scott in LV. If they sell them at the gun shows - someone is buying them.

I apologize that I didn't explain the scenario as fully as I should have. I'm wasn't trying to say that a BG pulls a knife and you pull your gun and hold him until LEO's get there. What I meant was, what would you do in a situation where you would have to cover the BG? Say you shot the BG and he's down. You don't know if he's still armed or could possibly get up and pose a threat again. I myself, am going to cover him until police arrive for my own safety. I'm not trying to throw a million crazy off the wall scenario's out there. The possibility of shooting someone is the risk we knowingly face when getting our CHL. If I have to shoot someone because they posed a real lethal threat, you can bet my gun is going to be on them for the full 5-15 minutes until the LEO's get there. I'm not willing to take a chance that the BG could get up and harm myself or my family. Sorry that I wasn't clear in my other post.

We were sitting in the clubhouse working out our secret codes and what not when one of the gang member's older brother stuck his head in and demanded to know what we were planning. We told him we were going to go to South America to work as mercenaries. He shook his head and said, "How are you going to teach anyone there about the Bible when you don't even speak Spanish?"
