I see this as an adult (???) version of the "Junior G-Man" badges that were popular when I was 5 years old . . .
Since it doesn't say "Police" or "Sheriff" or "Constable" I don't personally see it as a factor in impersonating an officer, and were I on a jury in a trial where someone were so charged, it would take a lot more evidence than one of these badges before I voted to convict.
I just see an adult carrying one of these badges as silly.
I thought this was a joke...

I now want to clarify my post wayyyyyy back when...
Once again, I believe as many others do, badges are silly and stinky...
I give this another two months, and we'll see this issue again...

This was taken off the "badges" website, and is in no means an endorsement (by Stevie-D, his employees, or subsidiaries thereof) of any badging, or use of any credentials, in a manner that would be breaking any law, statute or ordinance..."Readily identify yourself to Law Enforcement officers when needed with your Texas State Concealed Weapon Permit Badge."

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']

Hey now. Watch that "sheepdog" stuff.
