I have been seeing companies offering concealed carry badges , I am not a law enforcement officer of any sort Nor do I want to be. A friend of mine bought one of these badges and i sorta made fun of him at first.
Then I gave this some thought. I myself do carry concealed. I never thought much of having any ID badge.
However lets say you come across a situation Where a concealed citizen happens to get control of a bad situation and the cops come rolling in. They have no idea whats going on but they see and armed man in a place he shouldn't be? would it be a good idea to have some recognizable ID to flash the police? and maybe other concerned scared citizens? .
Lets say you see someone getting mugged ,raped or kidnapped. should you look the other way? or maybe help the victim and get control of the criminal . And have some easy visible ID for when the police arrive.?
Its my opinion but i would think if a police officer is called to scene and a weapon is drawn he will automatically see the person with the weapon the bad guy. Even though he was only detaining the actual criminal.
I have seen some people with permits who do not need to even touch a gun and i have seen some cops that make me wonder how they got there?
I am not saying permit holders should fight crime or play batman and robin, but if I see a someone being harmed, I am more likely to help than look away. Most crimes happen because criminals think they intimidate most citizens and know most of them will run.
If i was in a situation where I was detaining a criminal with a gun drawn, I would want the police to know right away in a very easy to see and identify form who the bad guy is.
Lets say I had a criminal under control in my own home and the police come up to them the bad guy is the one with the weapon, If I drop my gun when police arrive because they ordered me to not knowing whats going on , and the criminal grabs his other weapon and shoots me or the police officer. If i had some ID easily recognized my life would not be in danger and the police can safely move forward .
I was reading a similar post elsewhere about it , and seen a lot of negativity on it . And i was one of the guys making fun of my friend for having one of those concealed badges.
After thinking about it . I think the state who issued you the concealed weapon permit should issue this badge to you . I think it should never be visible until it is absolutely necessary. Any anyone using it in the wrong manner should have his permit revoked .I Saw someone talk about a guy who was flashing one to every one he could, my question is how did he get a concealed permit to start with?
So I don't know but I think it may be a good idea after all. Especially if it could prevent me from getting killed. I think they should be issued with The full concealed carry permits.
With crime and unemployment on the rise maybe its not such a bad idea?
What do you think ?
