Wow Mojo!

And so it begins...

Either way, you'd still be a geek.

A secret handshake would be cool!

You know, over the years I've seen a lot of "plain clothes" LEOs and the first thing I noticed was their weapon, then their badge. I see the badge and I figure they are a cop. But honestly, in order to read the text on that badge I'd have to get relatively close to the person and get my eyes level with their belt line, and I'm not keen on invading someone's personal space like that.

The text on the badge could have read "Micky Mouse Bail Enforcement" and I would never know.

I'm with you on that, sir. However I've got way to much time to sit and contemplate "what ifs". Such as, if a BG is willing to shoot somebody just to steal a $300.00 phone, what would stop them from doing the same to steal a $500.00 pistol?



Why would anybody need to carry a second gun? In case someone trys to steal the first...

Edited to add: I understand the intended purpose of the fabled CHL badge is to deploy it after exposing one's firearm for whatever reason. And I can envision rare instances where one might want it to be known that he or she is armed (to prevent an attack without having to actually draw the weapon).

Identify Friend or Foe (I think)

Soldier of Fortune!!! Thanks for the trip in the wayback machine. Years ago my career plan was to grow up and place a "mercenary for hire" classified in that magazine.

Sure wish I had sent off for one of those gold plated, John Wayne commemorative Thomson machine gun non-working replicas!

I had some friends that were going to become part of my company of mercenaries. 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?"

Oh, and I agree that an ID holder on a rope could be useful under the right circumstances.
