No gunships? I would have expected an AC-130 or at least an Apache.

He'd be dead if he had a gun....zero situational awareness. Bad guy was on him like a cheap suit and the only thing on the good guys mind was wondering what over engineered coffee drink he was going to buy on the way home! Have a gun, be aware, and as mentioned above have back up with you for large transaction. Also, running in flip flops is for idiots!

Always ask for two envelopes when taking out big money at the bank.. Put a few hundred bucks of 20's in one, the rest in the other. Keep the 20's in your back pocket and the other in your waistband or sock.

I went to a local back ATM drive-thru in SoNH and saw a guy sitting on the ground behind a shrub just across from the ATM lane, so just kept driving thru and call the PD. They had a squad car there in less than 2 minutes and confronted the guy. I was parked across the road at another business, told the dispatcher I saw the officer arrive, thanked her, said goodbye, and drove off to another ATM. The guy might have been a vagrant panhandling - I never followed up with the PD and heard nothing from them.
SIG’s Bullets and Vehicles course has some good training on getting the gun out of the holster from the driver or passenger side, shooting from the side windows, as well as exiting the car while firing and taking cover. Shooting from inside through the windshield is a blast - literally. Aim at the hood ornament to hit to hit 1-2ft higher.

Before the Vid when I would take our large sums, the bank would have me sign a waiver that if I got robbed outside, it wasn't their fault. I always thought it was funny. But clearly it's an attitude and someone has won that lawsuit in the past.

At the end of the day things haven’t changed all that much from the 1800’s
I go everywhere armed...
Why not bring another person (or two) if making a large withdrawal? Say a friend or two that you trust and who also own (and know how to use) guns.
One friend goes inside while other sits in car with full visual on bank door and the rest of the lot. AR-15 riding "shotgun"...
Reciprocate for their needs...
Not required and they can not keep you from your money. Next time tell them to politely GFY and get the cash together asap as we have somewhere to be.
If they balk tell them you wish to close the account immediately and to have the $17k in cash and the balance in a certified check.
Banks are too full of their won shit to remember who is the customer.

Next time you go let me know. That way between the two of us we could have 5 or 6 "friends" watching our backs.

If asked about your armed status, ask:
- Where are the recordings from the video stored?
- Are any cameras out of service?
- Do you use red dye packets?
When told they do not talk about security, tell them "You asked about my security procedures, so I figured we could start the conversation by talking about yours first".

Coming in time, need to save for thay
Unless you appendix carry, that's where the money goes
The government has a much better tool for stealing your money: financial repression. Which just means holding interest rates meaningfully below the inflation rate.I've been saying it for years: retirement savings plans like 401Ks, 403Bs, IRAs, and pensions are all f***ed once the .gov realizes how much money is sitting around and figures out how to get their paws on it. For your own good, of course. You can't be trusted to manage your own money, after all. And if you can't manage your own money, then you really shouldn't have guns.
They started using this tool in earnest in 2020. It’s also how they paid for WW2. If you purchased bonds in the early 1940’s you lost half of your value over 10 years, because inflation ran hot with 3 major spikes, while rates were pinned extremely low.
They can print as much money as they want, why would they bother stealing yours?
Bail-ins are a concern if you live in a country that can’t print its own currency. Maybe the southern part of the eurozone.
I could see some tax structure changes but not bail-ins. Totally different things. Something like a $1-2m cap on the value of a Roth is not unthinkable. They will literally change the law because of Peter Thiel lol.
We should be going armed everywhere it's legal to.
Rob covered what you can do if asked. But, have you seen signs on banks stating no gunz allowed? Which states? Matt.
