Cdn law stipulates you have a licence for an armoured vehicle, and must notify local police. I pondered this reason, and was quickly informed that police need to know etc due to criminals using an armoured vehicle for nefarious reasons, ie bank heist etc. So you're right, who uses? Garda, Brinks, politicians, stars, Heads of State, Military, Body guards for pineapple countries, dignitaries, jewellers (I know a guy that used to transport "gems" for jewelry stores in the trunk of his beat up old car, but he didn't carry a gun for years). There must be a big need for them as there are quite a few of these companies around, and doubtful they are turned out in the daily quantity like Honda. Speaking of car companies, Magna purchased that defunct armoured company. Who specializes in the design of these and is there enough secrecy to extract espionage or abduction theories here? Or was he a sad tale of hit and run driver?
