Went by the Motown Museum Saturday, Detroit Bass Players met up there for a group photo/tour.

Saw a guy walking around presumably providing security. Pretty impressive molle setup. I noticed no holster on either hip, though. Finally noticed there was a nylon holster attached to the vest, presumably with velcro? How's the retention on that?

Then I noticed I was worried for nothing. The holster was empty. Retention issue solved! Either wasn't armed to begin with, or already had his pistol stolen. Not sure which. I figured it might be a sensitive subject, so I didn't ask.

Notice the one hand on his chest? In a clever display of Ninjitsu deception skills, he stealthily places his one hand over the gaping hole in the holster where lessor warriors place the pistol...

The really funny thing is, you don't need a permit to open carry a pistol in MI. Even if he can't get a CPL for whatever reason, as long as he's not a prohibited person, he can carry a gun openly. Not in the wackermobile on the way to his security detail, but he could drive to the detail unarmed, retrieve it from the trunk, load it and report for duty.

Plenty of room on that rig for some 40. Not Ranger, not Gold Dot, but Steel 211 or King Cobra.

Based on his general appearance, he looks like he spent the weekend getting his drunk on.

Real operators prefer the Colt 45.



40 oz. high capacity.

The 12 oz is ok for a backup in an ankle holster.

Steel 211 has 8.1% abv. King Cobra has 6.0% abv. Old school Colt 45 only has 5.61% abv.

Make your EBT card go further - buy Steel 211 and keep the buzz faster, harder.

I can't argue with your ballistics... But he strikes me as more of a shot placement guy rather than a caliber guy... I bet there's some Crown Royal in the car..

Hard to buy Crown with an EBT card. Gotta shoplift that.

True enough. Got a lot of pockets on that vest to hide it in though...

I bet it would even fit in the nylon holster till you get out of the store...

Walking whackers are worth more spotting points. One can't just hang strobes, LEDs and antennas off themselves. They are more subtle and dwell in spots that can be hidden from casual view.

Whacker vehicles have to follow a strict code of mechanized whackerdom. Only certain vehicles are eligible, certain equipment has to be installed, etc. Leg whackers are more free form and can choose different colors, different load bearing equipment, go hard core or relaxed clothing, etc.

I am still waiting to see a whacker on whacker bike patrol. The red/blue lights are available and bikes lend themselves better to apartments, public housing, commercial lots, etc.

A real operator keeps his 40 ounce empty, and relies on his 12 ounce.

He gets more style cred if he uses a pewter flask, more street cred if he swills it out of the bottle in a paper bag.

Airline miniatures don't count though.

That needs to be published in a whacker handbook SOMEWHERE. I just don't know where!

Prolly in a State statute book for regulation of security guards and security companies.

I see what you did there!

Oh boy, time for some chitlins and orange drink.

Not to be confused with orange juice.

Orange drink.

I was thinking more like a 40 of OE....

OE 800 has a abv of 7.7%. A fav of Run-DMC, but still not king of ETOH.

Factoid!

In 2010, the 3.2% ABV version of Olde English was labeled "The Worst Beer in the World" by ratebeer.com.

OMG... this thread had my ROFLMAO... and I am not in the right place to do that... you guys got pretty damn technical on this stuff.

We actually have a lot of these around the downtown LA commercial areas where the businesses hire their own guys standing out front of their stores and then the block or zone chip in to hire private security guys who wear purple shirts and ride bicycles around the whole area and allegedly harass the homeless living around there.

I'll try to get some of the better equipped walkers and riders when I am down there next time.

But as far as tactics... with a good 40 oz., you can lay down a wall of malt for you to hide behind when you are the first one on scene for an active drinker scenario at the local stop n rob. You ain't gots no time to wait fo backup, son!

Throw down the wall of malt, empty the whole can, and hide your 12 oz. backup malt liquor for when the active drinker reaches for the (now empty) main duty 40 oz. can.

Just don't spill any malt liquor down your leg as you show everyone how you are the only one professional enough to handle an OE fohtay!

Pretty sad that the kat behind him with kid is probably armed and he is not. It even looks like he has something in the loop loaders on the chest of the vest.

So blowing up the pic to full size shows he is wearing the ubiquitous super agent protective service bail enforcement neck chain badge and I think those things in the chest loops are either Swisher Sweets or maybe lip liner from Avon and he's dropping off merchandise to his customers.

I may have to go on a ride along just to see the awesomeness of you's ghetto!

The reviews are hilarious.

Does anywhere else have armed security guards decked out in tac gear at bars? That seems to be the "in" thing around here; plate carriers (with no plates), LBV and a thigh rig with gun. It brings a whole new level of whackerism!
