I had not considered this to be analogous to OC at all. The one or two that said they can see some merit it having one say that the place to carry it would be on the belt next to their holster. This way if their shirt or jacket were to move such that someone might see their gun they would also see some kind of badge and not freak out. Personally, I think that is a risky endeavor and would not do it. However, that is at least the reasoning for some.

Wow - again? Really? The market for this bit of stupidity is the small segment of people that have a gun and somehow managed to get a concealed license

Yup. Maybe we should take this into account the next time there's a discussion on making the test easier or decreasing the requirements. Now, constitutional carry might solve this since the badge would become meaningless. Well, more than it already is.

I don't when I'm in my cage, but I do whenever I'm riding my bike. Most of the time they also wave back.

If you don't ask or search you won't know. Don't be afraid to ask a question after searching there are many knowledgeable people here that will help you!

And I'm sorry I thought this was a friend of yours. I glossed over the part where you said it was just someone you saw in a cafe.

OMG!!! Where to start?

The CHL badge is generally considered to be in extremely poor taste and rightfully ridiculed without end. Use of one as anything other than a gag gift should be discouraged.

How will your friend respond if someone asks him if he is a cop? I am curious to know what some of our resident LEOs would do if they saw this. Would you guys just start laughing uncontrollably or would you say something to that person or would you arrest them?

In this day of morons impersonating LEOs and driving around stopping people to rob them or worse, I think carrying around a CHL badge, especially in this manner, is a profoundly bad idea.
