Hop Along There Cassidy, Cause Being That Stupid Hurts

Look, in regards to Badges, just don't wear no stinkin' badges - especially if you haven't earned the right nor are appropriately employed to wear one.

Also dressing up like Dog the CIA bounty hunter while wearing a fake badge in a movie theater doesn't help much either:

The Detroit Free Press: Armed Michigan moviegoer with phony CIA badge faces sentencing today

A man who carried a loaded gun and wore body armor while seeing a movie near Flint faces sentencing for a phony CIA identification badge.

Cassidy Delavergne is scheduled to appear Wednesday afternoon in federal court in Flint, where he earlier pleaded guilty to having the badge.

From the article it appears he was carrying openly, while wearing visible body armor and displaying a false badge. It just does not get much more stupid than that.

When you look up the phrase "Stupid and inexplicable things you should never do while armed." - this is one of them.

Regardless of whether your badge came from the back of a magazine, a Cracker Jack box, or even if you made it in your garage, wearing it in public to pass yourself off as a law enforcement officer of any sort when you're not one is asking for serious trouble.

Oh, and because he had a concealed pistol license, this gets recorded as a crime committed by a CPL holder. Thanks ever so much for that.
