Saw that one today. Professional stupidity cost that one guard his life.Hit Watch on Youtube
Probably was getting paid $16 - $18 an hour…. if you want real professionals, you get what you pay for.While I agree about empty chamber carry these two 'cash & transit guards' were about as lackadaisical and unprepared as they could ever be.
Why were they transferring money in a public area around customers?
Guy stuffing the money into the cart has his BACK to everything and unaware of what's going on.
2nd guard is providing no overwatch and is too far from the guard with the money He has his back to the crowd as well, then starts to walk away in the direction of the robbers before they draw.
I saw essentially nothing in the way of even 'basic' security techniques being used and NO situational awareness.
I think your estimate is on the high side.Probably was getting paid $16 - $18 an hour…. if you want real professionals, you get what you pay for.
I was being generous.I think your estimate is on the high side.
Agree, those two were ripe for the picking.While I agree about empty chamber carry these two 'cash & transit guards' were about as lackadaisical and unprepared as they could ever be.

I suppose you could train for it, buy why ?I have watched hundreds of self defense shootings on Youtube, I have seen exactly ZERO rack a slide.
With the chamber empty, you're going to lose 1/2 second (educated guess).The blanket statement that "empty chamber carry is dumb" is du... er, not entirely accurate.
I don't disagree, and like I said, there are very strong arguments to be made for loaded-chamber always. My point was just that for some people, in some circumstances, I can understand the argument otherwise.With the chamber empty, you're going to lose 1/2 second (educated guess).
The question is, can you get the job done minus that 1/2 second ?
And in that situation, 1/2 second is a long time. You might have lead coming your way in 1/4 second.
I would hope that I could unleash hell at 0 seconds.
