Natick Mall Firearms K9

I was there yesterday for a haircut. No robots, no drones, no swat, no dogs, no pants sh*tting. Regular old mall BS.

Also a good reminder that no good deed goes unpunished.

But then I felt it…the lousy nips were on to me the whole time with some new secret mall stuff…

…barely escaped with my stocking stuffers.

Chain stores with long term leases locked in that have to pay rent if there or not. Ever notice how malls never have small independents as tenants except in carts that monetize some of the pedestrian space? I go to the mall whenever I need to. The last time I needed to was several years ago.

lol it’s worse now, if you go to malls, you’ll find a bunch of derelict ones that have junk stores in them now like, for example, at Searstown, they had one of those Halloween junk stores in the place that circuit city used to be and I don’t know if they still rotate in and out of there anymore…..

Looks like Caesar's in Las Vegas is doing the same thing with firearm detecting dogs.[thinking] In addition to Caesars Palace, they own 8 other properties in Vegas.

Caesars introduces new security gun dogs

I find it hard to believe any basic mouth breathing security company would send a minimum wage worker to Texas for 6 months and pay tens of thousands of dollars to train him or her and a new dog. That’s just not happening for mall security. Maybe for a nuke site or something, but not for Auntie Annie’s Pretzels.

Not much they can do to you unless you’re asked to leave and you refuse. Live your lives people and stop obsessing over the hysterics of idiots.

I used to sell high-end, graphics computer systems as an outside sales rep. One of my customers was United Nuclear down in Uncasville CT.
The first time I visited the place, I had to get checked in by security at a guard shack located outside the chain link / barbed wire fence around the property.

When I entered the shack, I noticed two, very intimidating German Shepherd dogs giving me the stink eye.

So I asked the guards "Jesus. Is this place really that security conscious that you have attack dogs on site?"

The guard laughed.

"The wife of the owner is big in German Shepherd rescue. These guys flunked out of police dog training because they were too friendly. They ended up with us to get a good retirement. They give everyone the stink eye so they get dog biscuits. Try it."

The guy handed me two biscuits, and the dogs came running over, sat down, and gave me their paws.

I heard the same thing about the MSP and National Guard folks who were patrolling Logan after 9/11. Those M16s had empty magazines and empty chambers.

As you said. Security theater.

I was delivering to the Braintree Mall and ran into the dog and guard outside, I asked him was the dog smelling for gun powder and he told me "certain gun oils/lubricants" he was not specific on which. Maybe he was lying.

I guess porn stars should stay out, especially gay ones. They really are into lube.

Friend of mine worked at a Silicon Valley Tech company. Went into work one Saturday, and accidentally set off the silent alarm. Two cops armed with a dog show up, all serious and professional. As they are checking out his story that he was allowed to be there, my friend notices the dog. My friend is eating a Snickers bar, so he hands the dog a piece of the candy bar.

The cops go ballistic.

Don't feed him! He's a professional police dog.

My friend looks at the cops. "I think he likes it."

I think the dog had to go back for remedial training.

Bad juju to feed a dog chocolate.
 
The NG guys had empty M16s, but the MSP guys had MP5s that were loaded. Same at Green. The airport cops were armed as usual, but the NG were carrying empty M16s.

Which of course made zero sense.

Feeding chocolate to dogs can kill them.

Patrol k-9’s are one step away from being literal werewolves. Nobody is getting close enough to feed them anything by hand.

Police officer is considered a position of high trust in the civilian world; soldier is not.

Any decent sized dog can tolerate a fair amount, so a piece of a Snickers bar (chocolate coating over nougat, caramel, and peanuts) isn't going to do much of anything to a typical patrol dog.

Now, fullsize Cadbury bar to a small dog, yeah, that's a bad thing.

That’s why I used ‘can’ and not ‘will’.
When you’re responsible for a $100K dog and every moron that walks by wants to rap on the window, or reach down from any direction unannounced to pat them, or feed them whatever happens to be in their dirty little hands atm, I can see why people get an ass chewing for any of it.

If my memory is correct the ones at Logan were MA MP's. So.... I guess sorta police?

Not civilian police though. Also, don't ever call a civilian policeman a civilian policeman they don't like that. [rofl]
