More like a coat-of-arms that belonged to someone with the surname of Wolfe. There is no such thing as "family arms" in Irish heraldry. Don't let the "bucket shops" tell you otherwise.
That being said, it's none of my business if you choose to wear it -- but, much like the mantra of "know your tartan", know that it is not "your family crest", but the arms of someone who shares the same surname (and who may or may not be related to you).
No one's yelling at you, btw. This is what I did as a genealogical librarian. 
My apologies to Jamie for going OT in his thread about his great-looking new sporran.
