When will they start to let security people be armed? The only ones with guns are the bad guys People have the right to protect themselves and their property. What good can a security guard do when they come up against something like that.

I fear we will see more of this. Crime usually increases during low season, and it's going to be low season for quite a while. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

How can this be? Isn't it illegal to own a gun on sxm? Must be fake news.

I hope the Police on both sides can get a handle on this stuff. This news on top of the rebuilding may end up keeping people away for good. That would be sad.

Agree, if people need money to survive, they will do whatever it takes to get it.

Sad but true only the criminals have guns on Sint Maarten. Topper got caught with a weapon on his premises after two prior robberies and he went to jail. In my 20 years full time on island I figured out something is wrong with this picture!
