    They're well-armed enough, considering they're planning to become a post-apocalyptic private army. The service they're currently selling is protection to resource barons hoarding food and water when the shit goes down.

      Light infantry level at most. They are, as you put it, rent-a-cops, but their true forte is strike breaking. In fact, it's the one line of business they've been consistently in throughout their history. These lowlives even helped amazon spy on union organisers.

      Lots of private security companies today are raking in the easy money that millionaire/billionaire postapoc prepping provides. However, whatever services or protection plans they offer go right out the window in the scenarios their clients envision, as the rent-a-cops have family & friends too, and too many to fit into any secluded compound they're guarding.

        I don't doubt what you're saying, but when I visited San Antonio, Texas last year, I visited a restaurant called Bombshells and the 2 security guards outside were wearing plate carriers. I can't remember the exact shotguns they were carrying, but they may have been Benelli M4s, and they were carrying a lot of extra shells on their guns and on their clothing. I don't know what the frick goes on at this military themed restaurant, but these weren't costumes and they weren't greeters. They were serious, on edge, and ready for an extended gun battle.

        Now that I remember it, even here in California, San Francisco Bay specifically which has a reputation for being anti-gun and pro-criminal, the guards outside of expensive clothing stores(I saw this outside of an Armani Exchange) had the same gear and attitude about them. These weren't your average run of the mill mall cops, these guys were very serious about blowing someone apart if they try to steal.

          Do you also wear a shirt that says "STEP ON ME HARDER, DADDY BEZOS"? Hating on organized labor is a classic bootlicker move.

          Not well, they are just the armed division of securitas, which is the literal bottom of the barrel security companies.

          They're mid-tier, but again, there are no particularly great rent-a-cops. There are some outfits that do VIP security exclusively that will charge you an arm and a leg and actually do a good job of it, but you will never see them at your local mall.

          In the bad old days, the cheaper the outfit, the shadier the shit they would work on. Nowadays the low- and mid-tier shops have to keep their noses somewhat clean because they're all owned by huge conglomerates that care about profit above all else and are averse to bad publicity.

          The high-end market has turned into a gagglefrick, from mostly legit personnel and asset protection, to outright private spy agencies and rent-a-thug services like Tigerswan. The latter sort are problematic because they essentially insert themselves into an unregulated gap between local govt and law enforcement. The cops can't legally spy on you to the extent that these guys are willing to, so they offload that part to the private operators, and set up "fusion centers" where the semi-illegally acquired intel gets passed on to the cops. Collaboration with the cops servers also as their cover to act as intimidators on behalf of the govt, as well as any potential private interests involved.

            Btw if you're one of those who are particularly sensitive about violations of your rights - the encroachment by private security should scare the hell out of you. These guys are the do-what-I-want permit that allows cops to indirectly spy on you, conduct illegal searches, inflitrate your clubs, associations, social circles and the sort. They can do whatever not because they're above the law in any sense, but because they operate right beside it. And if they ever get caught doing something that can't be easily swept under the rug, the cops simply say "we didn't know" and give the company a slap on the wrist. And then they'll sit right back for another morning meeting at their fusion center after some minor procedural changes to satisfy legislators.

            NTA but this is the issue with the "union" topic. The anon you're responding to probably doesn't hate the concept of employee protections and collective bargaining and all that other stuff. You probably don't like the idea of pseudo-political organizations funneling money to shitlib gun-grabbers and other politicians whom the dues-paying union member may or may not actually support (vague 1st amendment issues, especially when you consider how coercive unions can be with laborers paying dues).
            What the union is in concept and what the union has become are two entirely separate things. Still, weirdly, when people who don't like the latter thing I noted say "frick a union," people like you instinctively think they're against the type of shit that's given the person saying it a job they don't fricking hate and that probably pays them something approaching their worth.

            tl;dr you can fricking despise unions in their current-year iteration and all they've become, without hating the concept of organized labor.

            Two things can be true at the same time.

              Most unions end up being worse than the conditions pre-union.
              Work hard so you can get a promotion but it makes the lazy old fricks look bad, they pressure management to cut back your hours and said lazy fricks make your work life miserable.
              Lazy fricks in redundant positions are difficult to fire and make everything inefficient.
              Forced to pay dues that go towards paying six-figure salaries to union leaders who sit on their fat asses and care more about protecting the union's power than improving conditions/benefits for workers.
              Resolving personal grievances must go through the union and they may not support you.
              Can't get jobs in union shops unless you join the union.
              As [...] said, I have no problem with the idea of unions but in practice they generally screw over the individual with more bullshit than the original reasons for which the unions were formed.

                I didn't say that either. I guess I'm probably biased because I do work(unpaid) for our union on the side. So I get to see a lot of shit that management tries to sneak past us.
                Almost all unions depend on guys like me doing unpaid work on our time to try and improve things for everyone. We do make mistakes though and so do the higher ups. But in my experience they were always honest mistakes as opposed to anything malicious or unethical.

              Yeah but the thing about this is, unions becoming basically "de-politicized" and also turning into a rotating door of career union guys who just care about protecting their own positions are related. There's a term in organized labor for this, "business union," which I think means the union is basically run like a business too instead of being in principle a democratic organization controlled by the actual members. That's what they do: don't worry about politics, don't get involved, just let the union handle it...

              I have some friends involved in unions who tell me about this stuff. Some unions in the U.S. are better than others, some have really good people in them, some are getting better, and some are really bad and mostly grifts. They seem to be better the more "rank-and-file" workers are organized and participate and hold the leadership accountable. One of my friends is in a really bad one where the leadership discourages that, which sounds like a sick joke, but most of the workers are demoralized anyways and don't think of what they're doing as a "career" and don't get involved so nothing changes.

              The unions have their own internal politics. I know another guy in the Teamsters from a multi-generation family of union members, and being a union guy is a big part of his identity (I think this is an underrated but good thing about them, especially for men, it's like a tribe but based on work instead of gang bullshit), and was part of this organized faction within the Teamsters to elect a different group of people organized in the "rank and file" instead of the old Hoffa clan, and there's a big contract renewal coming up, maybe they'll go on strike I dunno.

              Nothing is perfect in the world. But there are also costs to 40+ years of Reaganomics and the decline of organized labor in society that makes people reconsider it.

        Except their soldiers are going to turn on them immediately. If you are on the richgay security detail, what’s the point of keeping them alive if the dollar is meaningless? If USD still has sway and value, society hasn’t completely collapsed. The rich dude isn’t providing the food, water, power, or location/housing. Why would you keep them around? Why wouldn’t the team leader just kill them and take over?

        is equally correct. The rich are largely self-obsessed or so autistic their understanding of disaster prep is buying a several million dollar hotel room or learning to shoot arrows in their backyard. The security companies behind these organizations are far more capable of maintaining a functioning hierarchy in a collapse scenario but very few are serious about the nitty gritty details as few are planning as far ahead as a global EOTW would entail. The billionaires don't have much of a chance outside of places no one else would bother to take from them & the security companies are either irrelevant or have a lifespan if they don't rapidly adapt. What will actually happen in a collapse is far more of a dice roll than a billionaire dystopia would suggest. It'll be still be shitty, but likely not that brand of shitty.

        lol @ Bombshells. That's a Texas thing but it's because their patrons are just moronic.

        Bro that's called a mall ninja. They've existed for awhile although now society is getting to a point where they might actually get called to put up or shut up given everyone chimps out left and right.

        > these guys were very serious about blowing someone apart if they try to steal.
        Then the shop gets sued to oblivion by the DOJ/California state and they get fricked up by floyd riots because a dindu nuffin got shot. I'm not saying it won't happen but most stores understand in the climate right now if you rough up a thief (let alone fricking kill one) you're going to get more headache than its worth. Unless you think the media won't have a feeding frenzy about stoking up unrest due to jamal being executed for theft.
        They're more about scaring would be thieves from considering it because Jamal won't have the thinking to go "They won't shoot me because of the above". This might change as crime gets bad enough people go "I don't care just do something" but right now unless it's real big thief shit like a fricking car or something shooting a looter is guaranteed trouble.

        Also I wanna add that the Pinkertons of union busting days is different from the ones now other than the name.

        In terms of actual bodyguards, the people who hire them usually just want to flash around the fact that they have security and no one expects any actual trouble more dangerous than a drunk butthole or regular schmucks being somewhere where they're not supposed to be, but if a gun comes out they're not taking a bullet for their client unless they're complete and total morons like this guy

        This is speaking to most mid-level guys who work private security for rich people, although someone like Taylor Swift or Oprah who has a real need for security probably has more competent people. There will be a security lead that knows stuff, and maybe some bouncers to be muscle, augmented by cops and local/venue security. Even at the high end most bodyguards are still just guys that stand around and are mostly useful at handling overzealous fans or hecklers. The reality is that if someone wanted to do something to someone and had put the smallest amount of thought into it, there's basically nothing you, the target, could do except hope to get lucky.

        Bit like a home defense dog. It's there to dissuade low to middle level threats. Which is fine. Like tying an onion to your belt, which was the style at the time. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta take the ferry so I gotta find where I put my nickle. Back in those days nickles had pictures of bumblebees on em. Gimme five bees for a quarter you'd say.

      Naturally, the regular security people are unarmed. We “RTFers”, by arrangement with the local police, carry high-strength OC spray and batons. If we have a full tactical alert and permission from the local LEOs we also have a Mossberg 500 with less-lethal rounds and two K-frame Smith .38s loaded with 158gr. LRN.Basically, the situation is that we get the call, we lock up the situation, put everything five by five, and cordon the area until the local authorities arrive. We’re cops, we just don’t get the glory.

          I got your back brother!You see, some people here understand the risks we security officers undergo to protect you people, would we exist if our jobs were useless??? I tell you that we are undervalued for our beneficial effect on society at large, for the urban and suburban shopping centers see %80 of the armed violence in this nation, and why don’t the cops take care of it, because they are a bunch of wusses, and they are not man enough to put up with the danger and stress. You all who are makeing fun of me have never been threatened by jailed drug dealers, serial killers, and shoplifters, or fired at by high powered rifles so excuse me if I decide to have good weapons to protect and defend myself without all of you makeing fun of my choice, and they way I do my job!

      This. And can confirm. I have worked security for 10 years now, both contract and direct employed. 99% of security guards are utter morons who can barely stand they are so fat, let alone do anything. They amount that are actually armed, and know how to use those arms, is alarmingly small. And if society would collapse, they would all disperse to go be with their families and loved ones. No one is protecting their employer. You might get a few cowboys, but they would be rekt quickly by the sheer numbers of the mob.

    work as armored truck driver at one of the larger security companies. gonna effortpost since I am on the shitter anyway.
    we are provided lvl3 vests and polo shirts / jackets.
    firearm needs be a compact or full size semi auto in 9mm or 40sw. No 1911 style weapons and no revolvers. most carry glock 19s, 17s or sw mp's. these are not provided by the company. Personally I do a psa dagger becauss I am poorgay. you bring your own including owb holster and pants with belt.
    some people bring ar15s/shotguns which are stored in truck. each truck has a crew of 2-3 people depending on the area.
    one driver that never leaves the vehicle and a "hopper" that delivers and picks up cash. the occasional third guy sits in the back by the money. Its pretty rare and only happens in high risk / high value situations. the pay is $20-25/h about 45-48h week. one of the perks is you get free firearm classes/range time and your pay increases with your "skills".

        this is correct. policy is to just hand over everything incase of a robbery. we carry firearms for two and half reasons reasons 1) looks / intimidation 2) self defense 2.5) incase of a robbery were shots are fired instantly without warning.
        If we are ever to be held at gunpoint for whatever reason its just hand over shit and dont resist but given the trucks are well armored there is a high probability that shots will be fired immediately which means are to respond with force, this aint some sheepdog shit but its common sense that the attacker wont stop at shooting the truck up

Also the job is more interesting than basic armed guard stuff - I guess. The guy said it was deploying around the country for strike security/surveillance in addition to active shooter response. He said it's a good company to stay at and they promote internally, he had been there for like two decades.
