It seems to me that the idea of an identifying "badge" of sorts might have it merits.
Perhaps a state issued insignia (not so much a badge, although maybe the state might decide so) that can be attached to the belt or holster. It would have to be official, not subject to counterfeit, and available only to LTCs. It might not be made mandatory to wear one (or maybe it would) but any form of badge or insignia would be prohibited unless it was the official state LTC insignia. This would offer a easily recognizable sign of an associated license. A simple education campaign by the state would expose the public to this idea, but most importantly it would offer an immediate id to an approaching LEO. It would have to not be easily confused with a law enforcement badge.
Just thinking out loud.

Good luck with that! Bad idea IMO.
