Just that alone would be priceless.

Re: "I Carry A Badge" Leather Concealed Weapon Permit Holder
The stats taken, which I haven't looked up so I'm taking your word for it, of more guns in society=less crimes overall are from a macro level. That does not necessarily mean that more guns known to be on a particular property or person (micro level) the less likely they are to have crimes perpetrated against them. Someone started a thread here the other day about all of his reloading supplies and bullets being stolen. They aren't scared of guns they know about. If they know where a gun is, they can control it easier. They're scared of guns they'll be surprised by.

Re: "I Carry A Badge" Leather Concealed Weapon Permit Holder
I remember someone on this board recently saying that an establishment in his area has a non-compliant no guns sign and he likes to occasionally carry his guns in there just out of defiance. I imagine someone who is decked out in CHL sash and hat and whatnot would likewise attract attention that would not have been invited had the person blended in more inconspicuously.Embalmo wrote:Though people always balk around here at the idea of a CHL badge, I think there are places where IDEALLY (focus on the word ideally) concealed shouldn't always mean concealed. If I had to walk in a scary area to my car, I wouldn't be opposed to a shirt, hat, badge, sash that indicates, "Warning CONCEALED WEAPON PERMIT CARRIER," which might eliminate the need for me to react in the first place to an attack. I would love for my wife to be able to have CHL written all over her clothing.
I believe that the reason that we cannot do this is because of the fear and ignorance of the left, general public, LEO, (and don't give me grief over LEO because CHLs can/do get arrested from LEOs who've never heard of a CHL or a 30.06 sign [they do exists]) and antis in general. It is sad that I have to keep something that is perfectly legal a secret to avoid scrutiny, when getting the word out might save me and my family from attacks.

Particularly if I was alone in a scary area, I would not want to make others think I have a CHL both because it could be taken as a challenge to one-up me and because the element of surprise would not be on my side as the bad guy introduced himself by trying to disarm me.
