It is unbelievable some of the things created. You can always spot a rookie. He is the one with the Police hat on or the police shirt. Advertising what he is. The old timer is plain clothes setting in the back of the restaurant with his back to the wall. Sound familiar LEO's?

I believe you hit this one right on. To me someone who would carry this would be one with the attitude of the wanta be.

Thanks for the help. It has been awhile and all I could remember was something to do with "intent." Thanks for the help.

I AM PERSONALLY AGAINST A CHL BADGE! To me it is an attitude of the many "wanta be police" in the world. BUT, with that said and Stevie d's statement above I don't think go together. As llwatson said that Utah has a LAW AGAINST IT - I don't find this in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedures. There is more to "impersonating a peace officer" than being in possession of a badge. The badge does not say PEACE OFFICER, POLICE OFFICER, NARCOTICS it says just what the knot head carrying it is a Concealed Handgun Licensee. So if one of you LAW DOGS could post the law on impersonation with the "intent" I would like to read it because I can't find it. I know what common sense says, but the reason this issue keeps coming up and the badges sale (it is obvious they do they keep making them) is because people do not have common sense.

I wanted to add: This is not anything like the guy wearing the black hat that has POLICE on the front. They sell them, People buy them, People wear them, and are never arrested. The best I remember (as I now have an 80 year old mind trapped in my 20 year old body) there is something more to impersonating than just possession. AND THIS BADGE as silly as it is says "Concealed Carry."

CALLING FOR ALL INTELLIGENT PEOPLE: Stroo; TXi; Mr. Cotton, srothstein, KBC, etc. . . I know someone will be hurt that I did not type your name you are "ETC." I just want a answer instead of our opinion.

You can get whatever state you want or your own custom image. (Maybe a sheepdog? Unbelievable! )

[No, I wasn't searching for them - it popped up on a search for 'concealed weapons']
