    Around here that just means they’d shoot the security guy first. That’s why so few banks have visible armed security anymore.

    The current SOP is to just let the perps take whatever, don’t offer any resistance, and let the cops track them down, and make an insurance claim. And optionally slip a dye pack in the proverbial money bag. If you’re a bank or a big enough business the cops will be falling all over themselves to chase the robbers on your behalf. If you’re an independent business owner… probably not so much.

    Our local Walmart has two (2) in-uniform and on the clock state policemen posted there at all times. On our dime – that is, the taxpayers. Meanwhile in the 'hood you can’t even get the cops to show up for a shooting in less than four hours.
