Very interesting topic. Hopefully my solution will help. I've had my CCP for almost ten years now and have accidently "exposed" my weapon on numerous occasions. The first time it happened, I was also mistaken as an "off-duty" or "undercover" police officer, to which I did not reply as to avoid confrontation. Then one day shortly after my exposure incident, I saw an ad in the back of one of my gun magazines about a "concealed carry" badge. This got me thinking so I ordered one. What I received was a very high quality badge that, unless you're reading it from a foot away, looks like a police badge. The badge is extremely high quality and heavy just like a law enforcement badge. On the front of the badge it says, "Concealed Carry Permit holder". I have my CCP badge on a belt-clip holder that I clip onto my belt right next to my gun when I'm carrying. On several occasions where I have had my shirt blow up, or leaned over a little too far, and my gun has been exposed, the reaction from those who have seen my badge and gun has been, basically, no reaction at all. I can only attribute this to the fact that they think I'm a police officer. For me, the badge has worked for over 9 years now and I've even gotten positive comments from police officers. Of course if you decide to get a CCP badge, you can never, and I do mean never, use it to identify yourself as a cop. This will get you a very long stay at the point-of-the-mountain penitentiary and thus, you will lose your carry rights forever. One added bonus to the badge, if you ever get into a situation where you have to use your gun and the police arrive at the scene while guns are drawn, the badge just might save you from being shot by the good guys. I mean, think about it, a police officer arriving on scene doesn't know who the "bad guy" is......the badge might make him think before he acts. Hope this helps. - VP
