I've seen references to CHL badges thrown around the forum in a joking manner. Well gang, they're people out there selling them!

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']

That's going to be $36.95 down the drain... :lol: :lol: :lol:

"Readily identify yourself to Law Enforcement officers when needed with your Texas State Concealed Weapon Permit Badge."

And either get shot, or arrested for impersonating (I figure the attempt is enough to get you into some trouble you don't ever want!)

When I took my chl class I think the instructor had one of those on his belt. He was not a LEO because I asked.

O dear lord! What was he thinking???

BTW, for those of you with a Utah CFP - Utah strictly forbids those badges. I don't cover it in the class, but then, I didn't think I had to!

Time to add another slide to the Powerpoint...

Actually, I thought the law prescribed that badgers who are licensed CHL holders must visibly identify themselves at all times...

Yeah, right up until you try to clip a badger on your belt.

What LEO would accept that anyway? He is going to want to see your chl.

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.
