Not sure why you think someone might mistake you for a 1%er. Odd, weird, bizarre, sad, maybe even a bit narcissitic.
Isn't the whole Lone Wolf No Club thing just a Cry for help?.......Sad really....look at me I haven't any friends...

P.S.- I'm not nor have I ever been in law enforcement.
Dont care "if" you or anyone else wears it. Just strange that you wear it so people dont think you are 1%er. That's what's sad.

Stick to your new reason/definition and wear it because you like the organization. Dont say its to let others know your not a 1%er.

You work for department of corrections? Detention Supervision Transportation Incarceration

I have a lot of patches on my vest that have meaning for me. Some are various projects that I worked on, some are funny or familiar sayings and some are from HOG. I have some pins on it too. And I'm hoping to get one from the Iron Butt Association in the near future.


That is not the primary reason for the AMA one, but affiliation with AMA is by definition non-affliation with 1% M/C culture. I don't want to argue semantics with you on this so Ill let that go now. Believe what you wish.


No, I don't work in the department of corrections.

Simply odd anyone thinks an AMA is needed to prove you are not 1%. Sad. You're either poorly self educated re clubs or your LE buddies have grossly mislead you on club terms/practices. There are thousands of clubs wearing AMA patches and yet attend and support 1%er events benefits functions. Nothing about AMA disassociates one from 1%er culture. Your training was subpar at best.
Wear it proudly in support of the AMA not for any other reason.

Ok, boss.... I have some opinions on the psychology of a man wearing a 1% diamond patch that I'd like to run by you, perhaps another day?
