or when they start putting armed guards at the supermarkets

With just-in-time delivery,
those shelves will be bare before anyone has anything to fight over.

If you’re at the store when the SHTF,
you didn’t do it right.

I've already noted presumably off-duty sheriff deputies at Ohio Kroger supermarkets.

The deputies have a sweet deal: they can work for a private entity in their "off" hours yet are paid at their overtime rate,and the private business gets someone with full authority to arrest ,also fully equipped,and hopefully trained to handle any security situation.

Except my experience is that security guards are traditionally more about service than law enforcement;I wonder about the attitudes and atmosphere changes.
