Just remember in this day and time. nothing can be considered "just routine" anymore. Especially after Lakewood Washington and so many other not suppose to happen things! Be safe watch your six and ever vigilant. It's just the right thing to do. It saves lives!

And that's the reasoning behind them being heavy, a badge can always serve for more than one purpose!!
