Pictures, no video. I did not realize anyone could buy one of these so cheap.

$8,250.

you would need one. The van obviously belonged to a Law enforcement agency at on point.

Looks like the perfect vehicle for pizza delivery in the lower Ninth Ward.

The tires appear to be the weakest spot. Just like painter’s vans.

And to your right is where the CVS once employed local residents, until they burned it dawn. And that sound you hear is hand gun rounds striking the armored tour vehicle.

So.. how much armor (or Kevlar) do they have? Is the glass bulletproof and run-flat tires too?

Or it was used to deliver payroll. An economy version of the Brinks armored car.

Good enough to drive to pick up a CVS prescription in Baltimore.

No background checks on vehicles with gun portholes?

And the media went ape-crap over it, saying "citizens should not be able to buy armored vehicles"!

Well, who the hell are they to say? Who is the government to say what I can and cannot buy?

I have had it with this nickel-and-dime removal of our freedom to be left the hell alone.

Before I drove down to the “pig pen” to commit mayhem, I think I’d paint over those white rectangles.

Nothing says “here’s my gun ports!!!” like a white-on-blue outline...

Apparently I’m not the only one who thought it would be kinda cool to have an armored van. :-)

“The van obviously belonged to a Law enforcement agency at on point.”

I see them around all the time. The people who put the cash in the ATM’s use them, and the local security companies use them for cash pickups.

A lot cheaper to operate than full-sized armored bank trucks, I would imagine.

“Well, who the hell are they to say? Who is the government to say what I can and cannot buy?”

Well, son. It’s a long story but first they started telling people what drugs they “should” be allowed to use in their own home.

Soon after people accepted that, anything the government deemed “detrimental to health” was slowly outlawed. Junk food, violent sports, etc were all just pointless dangerous activities that we as a society paid too much for.

People were eventually ONLY allowed to work, stay home and engage in one safe government-approved extracurricular activity upon accumulating enough credits.

So you see, it’s all for your own good.
Have a nice day...
