Guards provide safety, peace of mind

It's ironic this article on security guards was published today.
"'When a (nonmember) does come in, I am looking for bulges in their clothing and guns,' he said."
What if they're just happy to see you, Kevin?
To carry a gun, a private security guard first needs to obtain a firearms permit. That requires passing a test on the use of the firearm, and then being fingerprinted and undergoing the background check.

Ziegler also had to obtain permits to carry a baton, pepper spray and Mace. He said he was familiar with the weapons, having once taken classes in hopes of serving as a reserve officer for Bay Area police departments.
Ah. I feel safer already.
