New York City luxury buildings hire armed guards for possible Election Day unrest
- Thread starter MothMan
- Start date
I've declined two offers so far for these jobs. I wouldn't take one for any amount of money. I'm sure every recently retired cop is fielding these same calls. I hope they think long and hard before opting for these positions. These are the people voting in, supporting, and financing the very mobs that chased us out of policing and will make up the threats they're being hired to face.
If a cop can't defend themselves without facing PERSECUTION these days, do you really think a private security guard can?

Best thing anyone can do is move out of this state.

But, But, But, you get to carry a machine gun!

I was going to ask...
How does an off-duty officer get to carry a submachine gun (full auto)? Aren't they off-limits?

With enough money you can get anything you want in NY.I was going to ask...

Their employer will just get the appropriate FFL and SOT and then they can have whatever they want.
Laws are only for the peasants.

Glaring clues from how the story written should shoot down the anti-cop/retired cop tropes quickly.
They're twisting the truth, like every media outlet does.
One building is employing "machine gun" toting cops, and it's being done through the NYPD as a department and the department of homeland security.
It takes 5 seconds to read an article correctly...
As I said earlier, having been offered these jobs. No retired cop is getting a machine gun in private employ in NYC. There's absolutely zero legal mechanism to facilitate such an arrangement. It would be illegal.

Type 7 FFL and type 2 or 3 SOT and some state licenses and they're good to go.
Cost the security company less than $10k/year.
The only reason we don't all have then is cost.
Just the way the people running things want.
Not happening. I never encountered private security with anything more than handguns in NYC. In fact, even Israeli special forces/secret service had to deal with regular average NYPD cops for help because they could only carry handguns. I did UNGA nearly every year of my career and spent 4 of those sessions guarding a high profile hotel that always held Netanyahu.
I've stood during high profile event briefings numerous times where every agency was present and representative from any private security, including from foreign nations and NYC's highest profile businesses.
If you see someone with a machine gun in NYC, they are Feds, State Troopers or specialized NYPD units. Period.

Probably cheaper and easier for the elite to get their security badges than licenses then.
I guess it makes sense, why pay $10k/ year when you can get the taxpayers to subsidize all of it for you.
You may be right that it can be legally done, but no one does it. Even Bloomberg's private security only have handguns. If anyone would do it, it's him.
F the "elite".
Left Wing Liberals deserve any payback their BLM / ANITFA pals dish out to them.
Hate Cops ? Then defend yourselves.
And you: Private Security. Refuse to defend them.
For any amount of money.

2009 I was an FDNY Battalion Chief downtown Manhattan and I had to go into the "Frozen Zone". While getting checked out by the grey uniformed private security, my driver, also a veteran, pointed out to me the brand new M4 being carried by a lefty, that had a 3 position selector switch.
I didn't think non-LE or military were allowed to own automatic weapons made after 1986.

I'm ready.
If I ever meet you in person you have a beer on me.
I couldn't have said it better. The same people who created and condoned this don't want us to be able to defend ourselves but think they are entitled to being able to buy protection. F them. Let it burn.
A friend of mine who took one of these jobs swears that's his plan.
What i don't understand is... if the Democrats get guns banned by the public, how can private security even exist?
Are they going to carve out exceptions like they do for LEO?
And how does this not run afoul of equality laws?
