So, I've never seen anyone packing around town in murfreesboro. I was in best buy tonight and I think I saw an open carry with an HCP badge. I couldn't tell if it was an actual cop or a citizen...but I'm going to go out on a limb and say hcp badge. Looks like the badge disease is spreading. I can't say if this is good or bad long term, but I think its kinda silly.

Maybe you shouldve been wearing that badge in the dollar store when they gave you such a hard time. I couldn't resist. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture.
If I had that badge on in the dollar store,those idiots whould have had a babiy....:rofl:

Is that the required carry method for HCP Badge owners? :rock:

But would you wear the badge if it meant you could carry in a restaurant or park?

I for one wouldnt....makes you look like a fool.Went out too eat, in a steak house in Hendersonville,last night,had to leave the gun in car safe because they serve drinks inside,...felt naked,without my peice,but,if I had to wear a badge to keep my gun on,I would just do without.Those things are just for fooling around in someones house,I never have, or never would wear one out in public.....and thats for the record... This is how I roll. :rofl:

Also they're not necessarily fake...

Not every non-leo badge is a fake badge.

If it says Handgun Carry Permit....it is a real HCP badge.

Personally, I wouldn't get a badge and didn't keep mine when I retired. Only thing I kept was my police ID and I don't even carry it around. My intent is just to get the carry permit (along with the wife).

Of course the retired LEO ID is good in the 15 states that don't honor TN HCP's at least. :D

To each is own I recon but personally I don't want to advertize that I'm carrying. I do like the open carry option in case I'm made and can't get into legal trouble. I do carry a copy of TCA 39-17-1359 in my wallet in case I get hassled at some business.

I also agree with not getting a badge. If you're gonna carry concealed....what's the point????:meh:

If they're not LE, not point in a badge. LE impersonation via HCP badge is bad juju. An HCP badge is a "real" hoping-to-be-mistaken-for-law enforcement-badge."

Apparently one of the photos and a few comments made in this thread have gained some notoriety and are creating a bit of a stir with the purveyor of said HCP badges and permit-carrying pouches.

I received a fairly lengthy PM this afternoon from said person regarding the photo and replies. If any of you also have received PMs from this person, please forward them to me for inclusion in our response. I'm assembling a packet of information for review (and reply from) legal counsel if necessary.

Thanks. :up:
