Philadelphia gas station owner hires security armed with AR-15s to protect store

A gas station owner in Philadelphia recently hired security guards armed with AR-15s or shotguns and decked out in Kevlar to protect his establishment from the city's rampant crime.
Neil Patel, who runs a Karco gas station at Broad and Clearfield streets in North Philadelphia, said he recruited Pennsylvania S.I.T.E. state agents to protect his employees and customers after his store had been repeatedly ransacked, according to local Fox affiliate Fox 29.
"They are forcing us to hire the security, high-level security, state level," Patel told the outlet. "We are tired of this nonsense; robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs."
Patel explained he was finally moved to hire the armed security after young people recently vandalized his business and stole its ATM. He said his car has also been vandalized by criminals in the area.
Chief Andre Boyer said Pennsylvania S.I.T.E. agents are decked out in Kevlar and well-trained in the use of weapons and relevant law.

Too bad over half seems to like it based off their voting habits.

No way I'd take that job. You know the D.A. there is just itching to throw one of these guys in prison for shooting a dindu.

Demand a refund on his taxes for the city not providing police protection and figure out a way to sue George Soros for installing a Soros DA.

The Democrat way. Equality doesn't mean everyone equally rich, it means everyone equally poor.

I imagine this will become a fairly standard practice for a majority of private industry operating in big cities nationwide within a decade.

Eventually a mafia type protection organization will arise and fill the void.

That’s what they do in Central America. It’s Philly. Not surprising.

This is 3rd world country stuff. In the 90s I spent time in rural Honduras and every gas station was protected by armed security carrying ak47s.

I bet his sales double. Hope so anyway.

The great thing about long guns for security is that you can ram the butt-stock into the kids' heads in situations where they haven't quite earned a dose of lead yet. Not sure how well that works with muh AR ergonomics, though. I'd want an AK. An AK also demonstrates to the hood that you mean business in a way that an AR just does not.
