This is like comparing apples to oranges. These are planned attacks because the reward of large sums of money completely outweigh the risks associated with the robbery. This has absoutely nothing to do with OC'ing and the comparrison is just plain silly. These guys would have been robbed even if they had been concealing firearms. I am sorry but your argument doesn't hold water IMHO.frankie_the_yankee wrote:stevie_d_64 wrote:Frankie the Yankee...

I think the security guard and armored car employees, with the ATM service folks is a great demography, much closer to our community in relation to their exposure to the general public than uniformed Law Enforcment...
A quick Google search brought this page up.

Apparently, there were 40 bank-related armored car robberies in 2000 and 49 in 2001. So we know that people being openly armed, even when they have an armored vehicle at their disposal, doesn't always deter robbers. In at least these cases, the robbers took the presence of armed guards into account and committed their crimes anyway.
I don't have time to dig up all the info, but wasn't there an incident in Philly last year where 2 or 3 guards were ambushed, shot, and killed in an armored car robbery? OC sure didn't do them any good.
