I work for a retail operation on Tucson's east side. Every other day, our safe is emptied by Garda Cash Logistics (nee AT Systems) to be sent back to corporate. This morning, as I was stocking, I noticed the guard's Safariland holster had it's retention hood in the down (unsafe position) and told him:
Me: You do know your retention hood is down, right?
Him: Huh? [looks puzzled]
Me: Your holster, the retention hood is down.
Him: Oh, that's how I keep it. I have to use this thing [points to his gun] to much to worry about retention.
He takes the money and gets into the truck and drives away.
My questions are:
1. Are armored cars attacked as often as he suggested, or is he just making up an excuse?
2. Even if they are, why the hell would he think that he shouldn't use the retention feature on his holster? I would hope that the people who bring my paycheck are at least as well trained in pistol safety as the police department.
3. Or am I just making a big deal out of nothing?
