I went with option 1.

The general public would assume you're a LEO.

I'd still carry concealed.

I want pulldown panels on my carry vest with CHL in big white block letters like the police undercover jackets.

Then I can get these for people I hang out with:

Hahaha, wow. Glad I don't hang out with you.

Excellent way to bait and switch there. Take a small piece of an argument on how to move forward on OC, something not even my original idea, and attack. Real internet tough guy there.

Badges are meant for law enforcement or emergency services personnel or peace makers. If you think you are any of these just because you now have a CHL then you need to reevaluate the reason you got one in the first place. If you want to wear a badge then go to law school and earn the right to wear a badge.

The idea was a brain storm on how to make OC more palatable. It has jack to do with CHL. Next time read the thread before you foam at the mouth.

He does have a valid point. It was Open-carry, not CHL.

Is anyone here old (mature) enough to remember the black comedienne, Pearl Bailey? I remember a skit, about a 100 years ago, wherein the punch line was, "...if you gotta' wear a badge sayin' what you is, you ain't...".

Somebody help me. How can I remember things like that and I can't remember what I had for lunch?

I am old enough, but unfortunately not mature enough to remember her. If I recall correctly she wore one of those funky pill-box hats that were in style all the time.

BTW, I too have lost my short-term memory. Have you seen it lying around by chance?

Does this fall better on your ears now?

You know this would be a good idea except for the few rotten apples that would take advantage of it.

B"H
That will call for a tie to match.

I am just shocked no one is discussing the mandatory use of a Peacemaker, Spanish style rig, and required speghetti western soundtrack at all times that was also part of the discussion. Come on, if we're going to do it, it needs to be done right. Now others will argue more of True Grit approach, but nah we've got to go for full on FistFull of Dollars here. Anything else would be unTexan.
