Here's a vintage thread started by Abraham on the subject.

For many, the bar is lower than the potential legal statutes of actually impersonating an officer. Some just don't want to potentially be thought of as a goofball trying to be a pseudo cop. I just do not think many in the public would be very receptive or respectful of someone that is wearing a toy badge.

Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's a good idea. However, to each his own. I have seen a guy wearing an chl badge on his belt. It was a bit comical and the ladies weren't impressed.

That was back in 2013 when it wasn’t legal to open carry. I don’t see how this relates to today at all.

It relates because the guy was accused of impersonating a leo. The same can happen today.

I do not know how this turned out but it wasn't a good situation for anyone.

I don't think this debate will end up any differently than the age old debates have.

What are you trying to accomplish with a chl badge and what problem is it solving? Also, how serious do you think the general public and law enforcement would take someone wearing a chl badge that can be ordered from online or bought at a novelty shop?

If we decide it's a great idea, I'll order one that looks like a Texas Ranger badge.
