Yes, of course. Agreed. Because a criminal would NEVER obtain one.I'm sure i'm going to get flamed for this but in this one rare instance one of those damn awful CCW badges might actually be somewhat useful....

Umm, methinks something is amiss.At least in Kansas a private citizen is required by law to assist a LEO who asks for that help and the citizen has the full and same legal protection if they do what the officer says.
2-2407. Assisting law enforcement officer. (1) A law enforcement officer making an arrest may command the assistance of any person who may be in the vicinity.

Never say "never". I've seen a lot of antics by criminals in my day. If criminals would go so far as to obtain clothing identifying them as LEO, I wouldn't put it past them to obtain items like the badge in question.
I say the badge is a VERY BAD idea. In some jurisdictions it's illegal, and simply having one is a criminal act.

I don't think you saw his sarcasm on light..? lol
For one of the more unusual incidents in which a private citizen saves and/or assists in saving the life of an LEO, read the odd, sad tale of David Zaback.
"The inquest will aid in deciding weather or not to file charges?"
I hope that is standard procedure, from the information given in all of these articles it appears as though it was a good shoot.
Hey guys, I'm a member of another forum and this is a very hot topic lol.
I'm going to post the exact question posted on the other forum and see what the responses here are like..
As a officer, and now retired to private citizen i have no legal obligation to take action, once again i don't all the state laws across the country but i don't think a civilian has any legal obligation to lay their life on the line to fight crime.
Each person has to make their own call, once again TEXT scenarios are great and loads of fun for the sake of discussion. I enjoy them because we can make decisions without the consequences of final results.
But i'll end with this statement, when and if you decide to take a action with deadly force, remember you own that BULLET... and if you shoot we the best intensions and end up hitting, killing a innocent bystander by way of penetration, ricochet, or being off target, THE LAWSUITS WILL BEGIN... and there's no better motivator than CASH to file a lawsuit. The Police are Bonded by their department...WHOSE BONDING YOU.
There's nothing more important than you and your family/children, but as a adult with a CCW you'll have to make up own mind at any given moment. Good Luck
Excellent post.
Excellent post.
Yeah it is. Damn, you just can't do the right thing anymore without worrying about a frickin' lawsuit. Some world we live in.
