cops are not required to carry a badge off duty... in fact a badge is techmically nothing but a piece of shiny metal the document an officer should always have on them is called a commission card it is like a drivers license except it shows you are a commissioned peace officer

I've never heard of a LEO having to carry a ccw badge. The ability to carry isn't limited by when you are on duty because the rights given police officers says they have the responsibility to do their job on duty or off. I don't remember the exact phrasing because it's been a long time since I wore a badge. I do know some departments ask officers not to carry in other jurisdictions but that has to do with lessening jurisdictional conflict not whether the officer has the right to carry or not.

Those CCW badges are not only stupid but potentially an easy way to get the wearer in trouble. Not because it's illegal but because it's so easy to play with giving the idea that you are a police officer without actually saying it. I've seen several people get themselves into deep poo poo that way. I always called it "security guard syndrome" because I knew a guy who was a security guard and was better equipped than I was on the job. You'd think the SWAT team had arrived and it all started when that badge got pinned on.

LEOSA gives any commissioned peace officer the right to carry a firearm, anywhere within the United States of America. It is very unsmart for an off-duty LEO to identify himself/herself as a LEO, so I can't see anyone displaying a badge while off-duty

So what's the point in carrying concealed if you have a big badge advertising you have a gun concealed, jeesh!

I think the point is open carry is still illegal so he wants people to know he has a gun on him without showing it. I still don't know why you'd want to advertise it personally. Maybe there's a chance the bad guy sees it and decides not to try anything stupid.
