Well, you are right. It is a mystery. I was surprised when I walked in and saw the guard and have no good explanation for it.

Store is in a pretty good suburban area…. West part of Loveland, Colorado..

Living 30 miles from Boulder has everything to do with it.

Sounds like they've upgraded their security detail, the guard with the cell phone in the video wasn't much help.

armed guards at the grocery store are fairly common down here in Miami.

Several years ago we went to New Orleans and the Holiday Inn At the French quarter had an armed guard and the Walmart nearby did also. I figured now most companies are so woke they would just rather have a shooting as have an armed guard.

I didn't figure they needed guards in Texas!!

There's plenty of woke corporations here who have 30.06 and 30.07 signs posted at their stores. They don't want you in the stores either concealed or open carry. But a lot of stores only have the 30.07 sign which "prohibits" open carry in their store. Concealed is OK

Saw on FOX business a gas station in Phili that had guards with AR shotguns.

Owner says all problems stopped (moved elsewhere) since he hired them.

Perhaps….. a policy change……but after 18 months?

Our nation is changing right before our eyes.

Looking like we will have to deal with feral people when they present themselves.
