What is NOT a valid action under false personation?

The action of representing a veterans' organization is not classified as false personation because it does not inherently involve misrepresentation of oneself as another individual in a way that would deceive. False personation typically concerns instances where an individual falsely claims to be someone else, thereby assuming another's identity to gain some benefit or to deceive others about one's true identity.

Impersonating an officer involves claiming to be a law enforcement official, which is illegal and constitutes false personation because it is intended to mislead others regarding one's authority. Showing official insignia and exhibiting authorized carry permits both also fall under this umbrella, as these actions involve presenting oneself with authority or legitimacy that one does not possess, thereby intending to deceive others based on that false identity.

In contrast, representing a veterans' organization does not necessarily communicate a false identity about oneself as an individual; it could simply involve participation in or support of that organization, as long as there is no claim of being an officer or representative if that's not the case.
