I went to town to buy groceries this evening, there was this guy in line that stuck out like a sore thumb. Blue uniform, blue body armor, some kind of Ruger pistol in a tactical holster, but a lot of junk hung off his service belt. People were avoiding him. On his back was white lettering that said "Bail Agent".

Suddenly being behind him, I mentioned that it was bad form for him to be in the store that armed buying groceries. He said back he had to be ready for anything. I said that was great, but 4 people near him have their permits and were armed. He made some not so nice comment and I said that I was guy number 5 with a gun, that he should quietly leave and not be a show off when he was not in pursuit of some bail jumpers.

I see the need for this profession, but not to the point of looking like Homeland Security when they are on a terrorist hunt in the woods, especially when they are taking a break.

O.K. here is one detail that maybe I should have mentioned up front, he was buying a 12 pack of Bud Light. He did leave, he got in to a older Chevy Blazer and left. Bad form, guns and beer.

That guys sounds like a "wannabe" to me.

I have a good friend that is a "Bail Agent"...


One thing you must understand about people who do that job (successfully)...

They (that type of person) don't give a rats behind what anybody thinks. Now, my buddy doesn't go around dressed like that...his vest is under his shirt, his pistols are on him (one hidden, one not), a small flashlight on his belt along with spare mags (8 of them, around the back)...he looks (and is) plenty mean and intimidating even unarmed...both he and his brother.

They were first class bullies back in school...now they are still bullies, but have made quite a good living at it. And both can be found at the local bar about anytime after 6PM.

Very telling. I might have laughed, and I might have pointed, but I probably wouldn't have approached him out of fear I'd be shaken down for my lunch money.
 
What do you mean by "that armed", you had a gun too right. Did his OC make you nervous? Because he wasn't an actual LEO? So he should strip down before getting his beer to go home?
