Sports fans walking onto stadium bleachers

Objection we hear often: “Evacuations hardly ever happen.” The reality: You only need one to erase years of operating profit and goodwill.<h3>What’s at Stake</h3>Even rare events carry outsized costs:<ul><li>Revenue shock A single evacuation can mean tens of thousands of tickets and concessions lost, plus sponsorship impressions disrupted.</li><li>Liability exposure Crowd injuries, ADA claims, and insurance hikes are often triggered by a single “false alarm.”</li><li>Brand memory Fans don’t remember the odds of the threat being real. They remember the chaos of being pushed into the street and the headlines that follow.</li></ul> Think of it like fire sprinklers. The building may never burn, but if it does, sprinklers aren’t an “extra.” They’re the difference between reopening tomorrow and rebuilding from scratch.And ask yourself this: If it happens on your watch, what story will your board, your insurer, or the media tell?<h3>How K9s Prevent Disruption</h3><ul><li>Pre-clearance Dogs sweep lots, docks, and corridors before gates open. Issues are removed quietly, without delay.</li><li>On-site deterrence A calm canine presence makes guests feel safer, and makes bad actors think twice. (It’s a visible signal your venue takes safety seriously.)</li><li>Rapid resolution An unattended bag doesn’t have to mean a stadium-wide evacuation. A K9 team can clear it in minutes.</li><li>Audit trail Each sweep is logged, providing insurers and boards proof that your venue isn’t running on luck.</li></ul><h3> Big or Small, the Math Holds</h3><ul><li>NFL stadiums: one evacuation has cost venues $500K+ in lost revenue and goodwill.</li><li>Mid-sized concert halls: one ruined show can wipe out a month of margin.</li><li>Community festivals: one incident can jeopardize permits for the future.</li></ul> The smartest venues, large and small, are already adding K9 sweeps, not because evacuations happen every week, but because they know one rare event can define their reputation for years.<h3>The Contagious Factor</h3>Why do fans talk about K9 teams after events? Because calm, professional dogs become part of the guest experience. Guests don’t remember “security.” They remember feeling reassured.That story spreads: “The concert was great, and they even had dogs checking everything, so it felt really safe.”That’s free reputation protection, and positive PR that no magnetometer or bag check ever generated.<h3>The Takeaway</h3>Yes, evacuations are rare. But when they happen, they define a career, a board meeting, or a venue’s reputation.For the cost of a sweep team, you shift that risk from venue-ending to quietly prevented.And in an era of rising threats, and global events like FIFA 2026 drawing the spotlight, the directors who prepare now will be the ones telling the success stories later.Every Threat. Every Target. Every Time.™<h3>&nbsp; Call to Action</h3>If you manage a stadium, arena, or event venue, don’t wait until the headline writes itself.👉 Contact Parallax K9 Solutions at <a href="mailto:info@parallaxk9.com" data-mce-href="mailto:info@parallaxk9.com">info@parallaxk9.com</a> to schedule a pilot sweep before your next event.Because the cost of one evacuation is always higher than the cost of prevention.

The Cost of One Evacuation: Why K9 Sweeps Still Pay for Themselves

K9 teams are one of the most misunderstood assets in the security industry. Too often, clients and even some security professionals underestimate or mischaracterize what properly trained K9s and handlers bring to the table. Here are 10 common misconceptions, and the reality behind them.<h3>1. Misconception: K9s are aggressive attack dogs.</h3>Reality: Professional detection and protection K9s are disciplined, not feral. Their presence deters violence without escalating it. A good K9 team blends into the environment and only applies force if justified.<h3>2. Misconception: Dogs only detect drugs.</h3>Reality: Modern working dogs specialize in far more than narcotics. Explosives, firearms, accelerants, food imports, currency, and even invasive pests fall within their detection capabilities. New programs are pushing into human stress-related scent detection, opening future applications in threat assessment and medical support.<h3>3. Misconception: A dog is a substitute for manpower.</h3>Reality: K9s can replace some security guards, but not all. Their role is as a force multiplier in a layered security model. One K9 can cover an area faster and more accurately than multiple humans, freeing staff to focus on broader protective tasks.<h3>4. Misconception: Handlers are interchangeable.</h3>Reality: The handler is half the team. Without skilled handling, reporting, and situational awareness, even the best-trained dog loses effectiveness. Would you pay for a warm body with a gun? Now imagine that same logic applied to a team designed to find bombs.<h3>5. Misconception: K9s cannot work in crowds.</h3>Reality: Properly trained dogs operate in high-traffic environments such as airports, stadiums, and festivals without disrupting flow. Their presence reassures guests while screening covertly.<h3>6. Misconception: Security is only about reacting.</h3>Reality: The real ROI of K9 security is prevention. Problems deterred or intercepted never become headlines. Stillness and order are the true measure of success.<h3>7. Misconception: Dogs are unpredictable.</h3>Reality: K9 behavior is more reliable than most humans under stress. Trained dogs operate on conditioning and consistent patterns, reducing error when it matters most.<h3>8. Misconception: Technology makes dogs obsolete.</h3>Reality: No scanner or sensor matches the mobility, adaptability, and accuracy of a trained K9. Even DARPA has spent billions trying to replicate canine scent detection and still admits nothing is as effective as the nose of a dog. The strongest programs integrate both technology and K9s, not one or the other.<h3>9. Misconception: Any breed can be trained for security.</h3>Reality: Selection matters. Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, German Shorthaired Pointers, and select Labradors dominate because of their drive, stamina, and scenting capability. The right genetics and temperament are non-negotiable.<h3>10. Misconception: K9 security is a luxury.</h3>Reality: It is a force multiplier that saves money long-term. A single prevented incident such as a firearm at a venue, an explosive device, or even a disruptive fight avoids costs that dwarf the price of the team.<h3>Closing</h3>K9 security is not about myths of aggression, redundancy, or outdated methods. It is about precision, deterrence, and prevention. When integrated correctly, K9 teams deliver a return on investment that no other single security asset can match.Every Threat. Every Target. Every Time.

10 Misconceptions About K9 Security

Close up of business people shaking hands in the office.

<h3>The Hidden Power Behind The Principal </h3>Every high-level principal has layers of protection. Some are visible: agents, drivers, surveillance systems. Others are less obvious: advisors, chiefs of staff, spouses. But there is one role that quietly shapes the principal’s world more than most: the executive assistant.The EA isn’t just an organizer of calendars. They are the architect of rhythms, moods, and environments. They set the tempo of the principal’s life, filter who gets access, and carry institutional knowledge that no agent, no matter how close, will ever fully replicate. In short: they know the principal’s life better than almost anyone.<h3>The EA’s Ledger of Value </h3>What looks like “admin work” to outsiders is in reality the currency of stability:<ul><li>Preferences Memorized: Food choices, travel quirks, seating arrangements. These details reduce stress and keep the principal in rhythm.</li><li>Stressors Spotted Early: EAs sense fatigue, irritation, or burnout before anyone else. That intel is priceless for EP agents.</li><li>The Gatekeeper Function: Who gets access, and when, determines how vulnerable the principal is. The EA is the first and most trusted filter.</li><li>Rhythm Management: Meetings, calls, and downtime aren’t just productivity hacks — they’re safety nets that keep chaos from spilling over.</li></ul>Every EP detail should recognize that these “small” contributions compound into massive protection. The EA may not carry a weapon, but they control the flow that determines whether threats ever get a chance to materialize.<h3>EP vs. EA: Two Sides of the Same Coin </h3>Conflict between EP agents and EAs is common, but it’s born of misunderstanding, not opposition.<ul><li>The EP agent thinks in terms of life: survival, safety, threat detection.</li><li>The EA thinks in terms of time: efficiency, productivity, preserving the principal’s bandwidth. </li></ul>On the surface, these seem like competing priorities. But life and time are not in conflict. They are two sides of the same coin. Without time protected, life becomes chaos. Without life protected, time is meaningless.&nbsp;The most effective protective programs aren’t “EP vs. EA,” they are partnerships. When the EP agent and EA recognize this truth, that they are guarding different sides of the same coin, they stop pulling against each other and start reinforcing one another.Result: a principal who moves through the world both secure and effective.<h3>From Friction to Force Multiplier </h3>The best EP agents don’t just tolerate the EA, they partner with them. Practical collaboration means:<ul><li>Intelligence Sharing: Flag risks that could disrupt the principal’s schedule. Give the EA foresight so they can prepare.</li><li>Listening for Cues: If the EA says, “He’s not in the mood for X today,” that’s operational intel. It can save you from escalation later.</li><li>Respecting Priorities: When the EA marks something as “non-negotiable,” adapt security around it rather than trying to bulldoze through.</li></ul> This isn’t compromise, it’s synergy. The EA isn’t a hurdle in the mission; they’re a multiplier of it.<h3>Why Principals Benefit from EA + EP Alignment</h3>When EP and EA work together, the principal doesn’t just get protection, they get harmony.<ul><li>Daily Friction Drops: No tug-of-war between schedules and security.</li><li>Trust Compounds: The principal sees two critical functions operating as one.</li><li>Performance Improves: Less stress, more clarity, smoother days.</li></ul> From the principal’s perspective, this alignment is invisible, they just feel everything “works.” That’s the real ROI: not body counts or disrupted threats, but a life that flows without cracks in the armor.<h3>Conclusion: Alliance, Not Rivalry </h3>The executive assistant is not competition. They are not a roadblock. They are the closest ally an EP agent can have if approached correctly.An EP agent who alienates the EA undermines their own mission. An EP agent who allies with the EA becomes indispensable, to the principal and to the team.At the highest levels, security isn’t just about force. It’s about alignment. And no alignment is more valuable than the one between the protector of time and the protector of life.<h2>An EP agent’s best friend is the executive assistant.</h2>

An EP Agent’s Best Friend: The Executive Assistant

Business Risk and Strategy: Hand stopping the wooden block domino effect of a business crisis or risk protection concept, prevention, and development to stability

<h3>The Ledger of Security</h3>In security, the most important entries in the ledger are the ones you never see. Minutes gained. Incidents avoided. Schedules that flow without interruption.Every protective detail, every event, every venue runs on a hidden balance sheet. On one side, there are visible costs: hours billed, staff deployed, K9 teams in rotation. On the other side, there is invisible value: the bomb that never went off, the fight that never started, the disruption that never made the news.Most companies fixate on the first column because it’s easy to count. But the second column is where the true wealth lies. Each minute of order preserved is money saved: no lawsuits filed, no refunds issued, no headlines tarnishing a brand. Every problem prevented is a debt erased before it could come due.That’s the paradox of security: when it works, it looks like nothing happened. But behind that “nothing” is the compound interest of foresight, discipline, and deterrence.<h3>Chaos vs. Order: The Invisible Dividend </h3>When chaos strikes, everyone notices: alarms, evacuations, scrambling staff, rattled guests. But order is quieter, seamless entry lines, calm atmospheres, smooth transitions. The real ROI isn’t visible in the heat of the moment; it accrues in every second of stillness purchased by proactive measures.Luxury hotels prove this point. Guests rarely notice the dozens of staff working behind the scenes to keep the lobby calm, the check-in seamless, and the event spaces running without disruption. But when everything flows, guests leave praising the experience, not realizing how much work went into making “nothing” happen. The order is felt, not seen.<h3>The Psychology of Prevention </h3>Humans are biased toward action. We celebrate the visible “save”, the takedown caught on camera; and overlook the quiet deterrence that prevented escalation before it even began. But in reality, deterrence multiplies ROI: no delays, no lawsuits, no reputation damage. Stillness isn’t passive, it’s the most profitable form of control.What looks like a “win” for another company is often just noise, a single flashy incident quickly forgotten. The details that don’t make headlines are what compound over time: reliability, trust, predictability. Stand still, to go faster.<h3>Reframing Cost as Investment </h3>Too often, security gets treated as a line item to cut. The common conversation: “How can we trim guards, hours, or costs?” But when you measure prevention, the question flips: “Can we afford to lose stillness?”Every smooth transition, every undisturbed performance, every guest who leaves feeling safe is money earned, not spent. The math is brutal: one incident can erase years of savings. The ROI is not the coverage itself, but the chaos avoided.<h3>Stillness Is Profitable </h3>Security that reacts is expensive. Security that prevents is profitable. Smooth operations reduce liability, preserve reputation, and keep schedules on track. The best measure of a protective program isn’t how many fires were put out, it’s how few ever started.Every moment of stillness is money in the bank:<ul><li>A guest who never felt unsafe stays longer, spends more, and returns.</li><li>A venue that runs without disruption avoids lawsuits, overtime, and refund costs.</li><li>A schedule that holds steady builds trust in leadership and brand.</li></ul> Stillness is not passive. It is purchased, protected, and profitable.

The Hidden ROI of Stillness: Measuring Prevention, Not Reaction

<h3>Let’s say the quiet part out loud: the dog doesn’t decide outcomes, the human does. </h3>The “dog-first” model looks good in photos and purchase orders, but under pressure it creates blind spots. Venues and estates now vet the dog to an inch of its life: health records, microchip, vaccines, training/proficiency certs, licensing/tags, insurance COIs, crate/vehicle standards, even signage audits. Meanwhile, the decisive variable: the handler’s composure, behavioral literacy, and judgment under time compression, often gets a handshake and a hope. That gap is where incidents grow.Pretective operations shouldn't be about adding hardware. It’s about buying minutes without raising optics. Those minutes come from the human on the leash.<h3>The Old Model, and Why It Breaks Under Stress</h3>A working dog’s capabilities are real: explosive traces, firearm odor, human stress signals, even tech such as hidden microphones and corporate espionage devices.&nbsp; Canine sensors can and do catch what technology misses. But even a “great” dog lives inside the human’s decisions. Routes, angles, pace, pressure, timing, interpretation, that’s handler terrain. A strong handler makes an average dog exceptional; a weak handler turns an exceptional dog into a near-miss machine. False cues, missed changes of behavior, poor search sequencing, these are human errors.The modern model: the K9 is the mobile sensor; the handler is the processor and judge. When you operate that way, you generate earlier decisions, fewer errors, and less need to escalate.<h3>Composure Is the First Weapon </h3>Signal flows downhill: calm handler → calm dog → calmer environment. In real operations, bearing isn’t cosmetic, it’s a control surface. Posture, grooming, alertness, and a low, even voice shape crowd behavior, steady the dog’s threshold, and reduce friction around the principal. “Bark-and-broadcast” leadership burns social capital and spikes incident risk. Calm authority deters more reliably and protects principal tempo.<h3>Read People, Not Just Odor </h3>What the dog cannot do, the handler must: build baselines and flag anomalies. At Parallax, we use a disciplined loop:Baseline → Anomaly → Decision.Train for four lenses:<ul><li>Kinesics: gait, shoulder set, hand activity, sudden “ready” posture.</li><li>Biometrics: blanching/flush, tremor, breathing cadence, compulsive self-soothing.</li><li>Proxemics: odd angles, orbiting chokepoints, unnatural standoff or encroachment.</li><li>Atmospherics: when a room goes quiet, when space “makes space,” when the crowd’s mood shifts.</li></ul> The common sentiment in the K9 industry is “trust the dog” and hope odor solves what human perception should catch first. &nbsp;Most programs skip training the handler on the Human end of things entirely.<h3>Hope is not a good plan. That’s waiting for the bomb to go off.</h3>A handler-first approach formalizes the profiler’s loop and drills decisions under time pressure so operators can triage in real time: no threat / possible threat / immediate threat, then act: with the dog confirming what judgment already suspected.Guardrail: train out handler-induced error. Neutral eyes, neutral leash, neutral body language until there is evidence. The nose should serve the mission, not the handler’s expectations.<h3>Subtle Interventions Beat Loud Commands </h3>Discreet interdiction is where EPK9 quietly outclasses a solo agent. The right, ordinary question still matters, but the dog changes the physics: silent stand-off screening, built-in deterrence, and a non-lethal “wall” that reshapes choices before voices rise. The handler runs a micro-interview and reads the response, hesitation, pitch shifts, over-explaining, surfacing deception early and escalating only when needed. Presence over volume.Vignette A vendor arrives unannounced at the service entrance. The EPK9 agent angles off the threshold; his K9 heels in a relaxed, neutral posture.“Good morning, what’s your work order number?”As the man answers, the K9 samples the air, eyes moving from the vendor to the tool bag, subtle change of behavior the handler knows cold. No bark, no scene, just precise, sustained interest a human alone can’t replicate.“Hang tight, we’ll get you checked in.” Two paces off the door, the K9 forming a quiet buffer, the vendor’s credentials go up for verification. A preliminary staff hand-search of the tool bag finds nothing. While they wait, the K9’s interest in the bag in the vendor’s hands increases. The man’s eyes flick to the exit; his breathing shallows.The EPK9 agent applies velvet force, calm posture, soft voice, guided compliance. “Let’s stage your kit here while we confirm.”Decision: despite the cleared hand-search, hold and call for secondary. Credentials return clean, badge legitimate. Because the K9 is still keying on the bag, the agent cues a search away from it (neutral handling to avoid bias). The dog ignores the cue, drives straight to the bag, and shows a clear change of behavior. The vendor grows visibly nervous; now, even non-security staff clock it.&nbsp;The agent leans on RICE principles to reduce resistance and surface truth:<ul><li>Ego (face-saving): “Is it possible you might have forgotten something in the bag?”</li><li>Ideology (shared goal): “We just want to keep everyone, including you, safe.”</li><li>Reward (easy off-ramp): “If it’s an oversight, we’ll secure it and get you on your way.”</li></ul>The vendor insists there’s nothing. The K9 commits, final indication on the bag in the vendor's hands. Secondary security personnel arrive and conduct a deliberate search and recover a small, sub-compact pistol the first pass missed. The vendor claims he “forgot.”The dog’s stand-off pressure and precise interest created time and space; the handler’s behavioral read and neutral process turned noise into signal. Today, it’s a policy breach with a plausible excuse. Tomorrow… maybe not.Either way, this sequence delivers real ROI. It protects the schedule and the principal’s tempo, avoids a costly inner-perimeter stop or evacuation (or worse), keeps you inside policy and insurer language with clean documentation, and prevents the headline or guest-video moment that dents the brand.&nbsp;<h3>Beyond “Handling”: Judgment and Anomaly Profiling </h3>This craft isn’t leash work; it’s judgment under time compression. The job is to feel the moment the baseline snaps, weigh intent and consequences in a breath, and choose the move that protects the mission without spiking optics. Our standard is simple: composure that steadies the room, behavioral literacy that turns noise into signal, and evidentiary neutrality that keeps the work defensible when it’s replayed later. We train for tempo (calm on demand), for reads (baseline → anomaly → decision), and for process (what we do is repeatable, auditable, and quiet). The K9 extends our reach beyond human and tech alone; the handler decides where that reach matters. That is the difference between coverage and control, and it’s why our teams are built around judgment first, dog second.<h3>Bottom Line </h3>Studies show a trained K9 can detect explosive trace odor at parts-per-trillion. Think a single drop in dozens of Olympic pools. Dogs also pick up acute human stress on breath and sweat with ~90%+ accuracy in lab settings. In practice, that means a dog can flag a problem at stand-off, quietly, fast, while people are still deciding what they’re seeing. The data is clear: a top-tier K9 creates disproportionate leverage, one team quietly sets the tempo for hundreds.But here’s the hard truth: the decisive weapon on a K9 team isn’t teeth, or even the nose. With a poorly trained handler, those capabilities get neutered. What matters most is disciplined perception and judgment at the human end of the leash, not just “six months, 12 hours a day” chasing odor diversity. Train and vet the human, and you buy minutes without raising optics. Ignore it, and you’re funding mascots, not protection.Call to action: If your K9 program trains dogs but not human composure, questioning, and anomaly reads, you’re funding sensors without a processor.

Behavior as the First Weapon: Why Handlers Matter More Than Dogs

<h2>How K9 Security Teams Integrate With Executive Protection Details</h2>In the world of executive protection, one reality never changes: time, distance, and control decide outcomes. As threats evolve, faster, closer, more adaptive, technology alone isn’t enough. Firearms are increasingly restricted, carry heavy legal and optic risks, and hostile actors learn to exploit the gaps. That’s why the integration of K9 units into security details is no longer a novelty, but an inevitability. A trained K9 team shifts the timeline left, providing early warning, deterrence, and behavioral control that no other tool can replicate.<figure id="figure-xod3cuccjdmf74qrka" class=""><img id="xod3cuccjdmf74qrka" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/243o6sGhbZgJQra6Z9YKQKslXDGmjmuAL7cSNBVlLVUsaoodaUtNN2O9MauCGI2Y.jpeg" alt="executive protection dog" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/243o6sGhbZgJQra6Z9YKQKslXDGmjmuAL7cSNBVlLVUsaoodaUtNN2O9MauCGI2Y.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>More Than Dogs on Patrol </h3>When most people think of K9 units, they picture gate guards or static patrols. In reality, a modern K9 integrated with an EP detail is not a mascot or a backup plan — it’s a mobile sensor, a psychological lever, and a deterrent that changes behavior before a problem even begins.A dog’s nose can outperform the most sophisticated machines at detecting explosives, firearms residue, or contraband. Despite decades of research into electronic sensors, no technology has yet surpassed the sensitivity and operational flexibility of the trained canine olfactory system for detecting explosives (NIH, 2021). But its true advantage is dual: physical detection plus psychological disruption. At 15–20 feet, posture shifts. Hands come out of pockets. Eyes drop. Crowds self-sort. That’s compliance without conflict — and the best solution to a problem is the one prevented before it ever happens.<h3>Where Guns Can’t Go</h3>International operations often limit firearms. Even domestically, principals and their families increasingly prefer a low-optic presence at estates, offices, or events. A K9 fills that gap — non-lethal, policy-compliant, and quietly effective.Where guns escalate, dogs de-escalate. Where cameras only record, dogs change behavior in real time. A firearm is a last resort that can trigger headlines; a camera documents what already went wrong. A trained K9, by contrast, prevents the disruption altogether, extending the protective bubble without drawing attention.This matters in today’s environment. Clients want security that is invisible until it counts, insurers want solutions that reduce liability without raising risk, and principals want to live without feeling policed. The K9 uniquely satisfies all three: a silent sensor, a living deterrent, and a visible symbol of preparedness that requires no explanation.<figure id="figure-9vx6ungtknmf74qwuz"><img id="9vx6ungtknmf74qwuz" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/2bR1L3yoo1dBIdiTCTd3Nqxw8gxANVwkfjwBo9GfXGOFkMH71DG4pISrz0558vMj.jpeg" alt="security dog training" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/2bR1L3yoo1dBIdiTCTd3Nqxw8gxANVwkfjwBo9GfXGOFkMH71DG4pISrz0558vMj.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>Rings of Protection</h3>Think of EP as layered rings: long-term counter-surveillance, medium-range early warning, short-range logistics, and last-second disruption. A K9 expands each ring.<ul><li>Long Ring: Random sweeps and presence make hostile reconnaissance noisy and risky.</li><li>Medium Ring: Odor/stress detection adds minutes of warning at choke points.</li><li>Short Ring: At the vehicle, elevator, or entry, a handler and dog form a moving barrier that alters attacker calculus.</li><li>Close-In: If deterrence fails, a bark or lunge breaks an assailant’s decision loop, buying the seconds needed for extraction.</li></ul><h3>Integration, Not Addition</h3>The key is integration. K9 teams slot into an existing detail’s command and control structure, with reporting, cadence, and posture tuned to the principal’s culture. Sometimes that’s discreet — plainclothes, calm, and almost invisible. Sometimes it’s overt — visible deterrence at estate gates or event entries. Either way, the presence is the product.<h3>The Direction of the Field</h3>Threat tempo is up. Public incidents are faster, closer-in, and more unpredictable. Clients, insurers, and boards are no longer impressed by generic “armed presence.” They want early warning, liability reduction, and proof their investment is working. K9s meet that demand with auditable, policy-compliant outcomes.But not all K9 programs are equal. A large portion of the market is built on lowest-bidder contracts—handlers treated as interchangeable, dogs deployed as little more than window dressing, and reporting designed to meet the bare minimum. You get the quality you pay for, and in high-threat environments that gap is exposed fast.The future belongs to integrated systems: dogs that expand protective rings, handlers who operate as trained protection agents, and deliverables that hold weight in a boardroom as easily as they do under pressure in the field.In short: dogs go where guns can’t, and they buy the time principals live on. Not every company can credibly say that. We can.
