What good is and unarmed security guard when the robbers have guns. Absolutely none, it is just a feel-good thing and for show.

If security personnel were given guns, what do you suppose they would do with them? Open fire in a crowded tourist location? That's madness.

I would think that if they did have guns it would make the offenders think twice about commiting the crime. Trained security guards would have the same responce to make as an armed police officer when to use force.

Before this thread goes totally off course, I'll add my 1 1/2 cents. Of course, robbery is reprehensible. But it isn't a capital offense, and security guards do not have a Bondian license to kill. If I were a robber, I'd realize this and I'd be more afraid of the guard dogs.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Directed at no one in particular, before this goes totally off the rails about guns, will end this one here.
