armoured car security with gun in hand leaving bank???

[Soginator]

Worked at citi bank for a while. Never saw this. Unholstered weapon, even by a uniformed cop = press the panic button. I've only ever seen unholstered weapons at the Fed in LA, when they were doing multi billion dollar cash drops.

I have seen it many times, appears to be a common practice.

[Chapped Hide]

I've seen this numerous times also. Makes sense to me!

lol wut?

WHY?

[Watchur6]

Oh no, a gun! Ahhhhhh!

Was it genuine leather or Naugahyde?

At my bank, the security guards upholster their guns in Pleather. They use Glocks, so I guess it makes sense. Plastic guns, plastic leather.

Yes I've seen this. Given the job, I never thought twice about it being odd.

[twinfin]

Yes, I've seen this too from time to time. Big sack in one hand, gun out and pointed down in the other along with a brisk pace and head on a swivel.

Hell, sometimes I feel I should be walking that way leaving the store, trying to get back to my car!!!

[Squirly]

Did it sound like I was freaking out?

OP, it's normal security procedure. Why are you freaking out to see a gun ?

I spit soda onto my screen and keyboard. Thank you for that.

Really?

How much space does a multi billion dollar cash transaction occupy?

Well, in fairness, we can't hear you. We have to guess based on the words you type and the avatar photo you are using.

...he had his sidearm upholstered in his hand.
...Anyone ever see or do this? ...was hard to see but almost feel finger was on the trigger.

I used to see this frequently years ago. I have not seen it recently. I thought maybe they had simply stopped using this procedure.

I doubt he had his finger on the trigger. Probably just outside the trigger guard. I rely on things I actually see. 'feeling' is no different than 'assuming'. We know what happens when you 'assume' ;-).

I literally laughed out loud at this

Sounds like brandishing. My friend worked for Dunbar, never un-holstered his weapon.
