That's a good idea, but the body that can do something about it doesn't reconvene until next year.

thats just it they need to stop messing everything up and start fixing it
i think the worlds problems could be solved by the combined mind power of the members of this forum however with the exception of Mr Cotton none of us can get anyone to listen to us :smash:

I always thought those badges were a joke or at least a novelty item. The sellers can't possibly believe that they are selling a product that anyone qualified to get a CHL will buy to wear.

Perhaps I have too much faith.

I would buy one if it had the Texas Star . I know a couple of CHLers who own one. I just don't make it to gunshows.
I might even wear it at the right place. Most folks at CHL forum day would see the humor.

Between that badge and this patrol car, you're ready to rock and roll with the scummiest scumbags out there:

Storm chaser or not, that car would make any Woo-woo proud.

I agree that wearing a CHL badge is not a good idea, but I am debating the right of someone to advertise a legal product. I don't like a lot of the advertisers in gun magazines, so I don't buy their products. If you wish to write "America's First Freedom" to protest the adverstisement, that is your prerogative, but I am not going to join you.

I respect your opinion, but mine differs from yours. :tiphat:
Apparently people are buying them, or else they wouldn't keep getting advertised.
I wonder about that, too. As I recall, only one person on this forum has admitted to purchasing a CHL badge. There must be others.
DITTO... I certainly hope NOT.
