    I think the story is misleading.
    IF the citizen held the perp at gunpoint, then likely what is missing is the information on the 911 call.
    I think there is a high probability that the 911 call included information that a citizen was holding the perp at gunpoint and "don't shoot the good guy with the gun".

    Police will treat any unidentified guy with a gun as a threat. Likely they did on this scene as well.
    There is some more to the story.

    OP, link to story please

    Valid point, didn't think of that....yes, need the full story....but that also doesn't negate the fact that the badge is bs. I surely hope that an officer doesn't let his guard down because someone has a CCW badge, as ANYONE can get one.

    The badges being discussed are not official credentials issued by a government authority.

    They are fake cracker jack badges anyone can buy online or at Wal Mart for $11.95.

    The same places sell identical "Security Service" badges, as well as fake EMT and firefighter badges.

    Just want to clarify what is being discussed.

    I have one that I picked up as part of a deal I worked out. I have it sitting in on my desk somewhere under a pile of paperwork. I once met a guy who had one on his belt, at first glance I thought he was a LEO but then I noticed the badge was too small. He stated that it would slow down any LEO if he had his weapon in his hand. I think he was a wannabe and couldn't cut it. Maybe my grandsons would like the badge to play cops & robbers. Chris

    Strapping on a gun and pining on a badge don’t make you a Lawman.

    You want a badge then sign up and earn one. Too old, there are some departments with armed Reserve/Part Time Officer and Sheriff’s Posse programs.
