    It’s almost 2 years since I left the industry. I work as armed security now and crime has gone up.

    Armored messengers are getting targeted more than ever. On March 12, someone attempted to rob a money truck in Iowa, got shot dead. https://www.radioiowa.com/2020/03/12/man-shot-in-waterloo-attempted-armored-car-robbery-has-died/

    M
    y co workers who work as armed messengers are getting their shotgun endorsement and another body will be put on their route. They’re working 2 man teams now.

    I got a couple offers for when SHTF and under the table work. I’m looking at a private estate or this private farm. I’ll be working when SHTF so at least they got food. Y’all better start stocking up on ammo because the price has gone up. There’s only a few that sells them at factory price and even that will halt at some point.

    I had a encounter once with a armed courier bringing a hell of alot of money into a particualr bank I happened to be inside doing business at the desk. There he stood 5 feet from me as a concealed carry with a full Colt and magazines etc under cover on me. He didnt have a clue I don't think. However if he knows anything at all about how people are alert as he is he probably marked me as a carrier mentally because I evaluated him then the entire interior of that banking space.

    Whats really stupid in this area is we had a couple people try to hold up a local dollar store for peanuts relatiely speaking when Loomis is sitting behind 3 rifles and armor bringing in barrels of money into walmart across town. HA....

    People have Officialy Lost their Minds.

    I whipped into Wally World down the street from the condo in naples Florida.

    Wanted to run in and buy a bunch of cheap fruit and cheap wine to make some Sangria for going out on the boat with friends and family this weekend.

    Insane. Lines 30 deep. For Kraps and giggles I strolled through the store. Paper products ,canned , frozen foods Wiped Out.

    Plenty of fruit , wine and Corona though so all was fine in my World.

    I know someone who works at the courtesy desk so in and out when she squeezes me in.
