Meanwhile, at Mall Ninja University
A reflective sash that identifies you as a concealed carry permit holder. I thought the badges were bad enough but this is a whole new level. You know a good way to identify yourself as a law-abiding person to the police? Don’t shoot at them. And put your gun away.

Wonder if the Canton, Ohio City Gooberment is going to make it a local ordinance to wear one so Officer Harliss can feel safe?

It’s been around and made fun of for quite some time. Guess you missed it the first few times around.
But yes, it is just the thing for the off-duty Food Court Seel Team Six plank-owner to have. Just don’t shoot your arm as you deploy it while simultaneously drawing your H&K Glock SigPro HiPoint.
stay safe.

I will give them credit for this one not having that whole “holster sniffer” wannabe-cop flavor that CCW badges have.
Still probably not the best thought-out idea in the world.

Why worry about concealed carry if you wear a special sash? Might as well just carry openly, but I state the obvious.

MAJ Mike,
“Why worry about concealed carry if you wear a special sash?”
I think it’s meant to be carried all rolled up and deployed after you bust caps.
Because I know that if I’ve just been involved in a shooting incident, the first thing I’m going to remember to do is somehow deploy my special “Don’t Shoot Me” sash with one hand while holding on to my pistol with the other, and get the thing over my head without shooting myself or dropping my gun, all while keeping an eye on the bad guy and making sure he doesn’t make like Jason or Michael Myers and get up off the ground…

Here in Texas we get CHLs (Concealed Handgun Licenses) not CCWs or CHPs or any other acronym.
So a sash like that would simply make the arriving police think the shooting involved a beauty pageant contestant from some oddly named locale. And remembering “Miss Congeniality” they might shoot the wearer first, just because that movie was soooooo bad.

Thank for the link, and @mikee yea thats what the “ARMED” one is for. This is a remarkably dumb idea and I hope this guy doesn’t sell a single one but I know he will sell a bunch.

Hey, whatever you can sell to the rubes.

If he makes one that says Prom Queen, I’m in.

I got chastised in an email from Brownells when I suggested that this shouldn’t be something they offered for sale.
IIRC, the fellow emailing me was an ex police officer.

I suspect the maker also makes “Cop” identification sashes.
Yep … mall ninja cop wannabe wear.

A CCW sash? Right. It should come in a bundle with a CCW tiara.
