Other than police officers there are now security guards at just about every corner figuratively speaking. Security guards spend their time guarding buildings and garages around the clock, day and night. Most of these guards are assigned to work cites alone where there is no other employees or supervisors present.

That unarmed guard would not be able to stop the robber from putting a bullet through the bank employees or the bank costumers, nor would the guard be able to stop him from robbing the place. On the other hand if that guard who was standing in the corner would have been armed it would be a lot more intimidating. The sight of the fire arm on the guards waist may make the criminal think twice. If at that point the criminal would over look the guard and proceed to rob the place, the guard could then put the skills he learned through his training to use. He/she could possible stop the criminal before any harm came to anyone. Another example of dangerous location guards have to patrol is parking garage. In Dayton Ohio most big garages have private security guarding the places throughout the night when it is suppose to be empty. Guards are their to keep criminals and homeless people out. Within the Sinclair library database there is a article about a female guard. She was working in a Dayton Ohio parking garage next to city hall in 2010 and was viciously attacked. This guard was unarmed and brutally beaten by two people while on duty there. While the article the city spokesmen talks about the security guards safety. "Faulkner said last weeks incident emphasizes the need to properly match the level of security to a specific location." (Wedell) The security company who has the contract with garage refused to comment on that incident. Every location a
This website provides a lot of meaningful and relevant information as well logical opinions which are closely related to the idea that teachers should be allowed to carry guns at school. Throughout the article, the writer does a great at emphasizing on a few of the major reasons why many people are so against teachers being allowed to carry guns in schools. Thus being that for many, it is simply an ideological objection, while others believe that instead of providing guns to teachers solely for the purpose of protecting themselves and their students we should be working to keep guns out of the hands of homicidal maniacs. He proceeds by efficiently explaining the reasons as to why these objections can be considered faulty. While reading this
After the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, parents, teachers and administrators started questioning whether schools are safe anymore. The only way to ensure a massacre of this size won’t happen again is to arm teachers. Teachers should be allowed to carry guns at school in order to protect students. “According to an article in the Huffington Post firearms are already allowed in 18 states with few restrictions.”
Currently, if Americans begin to arm themselves in public premises is it necessary for security, police, or even as massive as the military to exist? No. But, what about police brutality and situations where the predicaments are similar? Perhaps that, may not even be the concern for some. Who can a person even think to trust? Who will protect
Responsibility and reliability are two of the main characteristics an armed guard must possess.

What if someone who is 18-20 was getting kidnapped, how are they going to defend themselves? If they could get a concealed carry permit at age 18 they would be able to defend themselves easier instead of fighting them with fists. A lot of deaths or injuries are from people between the ages of 18-20 because they have no way to defend themselves. The concealed carry permit law should be lowered to people 18 years of age when they are able to purchase shotguns and assault rifles.

Hiring police officers to perform private security work has positive aspects and potential pitfalls. Business owners vary in their opinion on hiring police officers. Liability and cost are reasons some prefer to hire private security guards or take other security measures. Other business owners prefer the training, professionalism, deterrence, and authority that come with hiring a police officer. Due to lawsuits involving off-duty police officers, the Courts have had to develop tests to determine when a moonlighting police officer is working under the authority of the private company or in the role of a peace officer. Issues have arisen about the difference in police mentality and retail service. Some argue that
The McDonald incident happened in front of a bar, security guards were nowhere to be found and when one came outside, it was when McDonald stabbed Schmitz. I think bars, or any places with alcohol, should have more security guards around, especially outside. There should be plenty of security guard, so they can have eyes everywhere and help prevent fights from happening. Bars always have drunk people around, when people are drunk they do many dumb things that can lead to violence. Drunk people can easily start fights with just the little things. Security guards, when seeing drunk people, can send them home, so they will not start fight. Security guards should always be around, to stop things from happening right away. The security guards should also take classes where they can be more aware on how to find trouble and be ready for any type circumstances. Bars should also have more cameras, especially outside, so if a fight were to breakout, they can see what really
BANG! The criminal shoots at you but misses. You have a few moments before he shoots again. But you have nothing to defend yourself with. What do you do?Whenever you are in danger, a police officer tries to save you, and catch the criminal. Even if it means risking their own life. People have been arguing over whether police officers should be armed or not. Police officers do need these weapons. For the purpose of catching the bad guy, and saving as many lives, as possible. Police officers in the United States, should remain armed because, they need the protection, it will distance them from a criminal, and it influences others to be intimidated, causing less crime.
Americans have long been guarded of using the military for domestic policing. Concerns about potential abuse date back to the creation of the Constitution, when the founders worried about standing armies and the intimidation of the people at large by an fanatical executive, who might choose to follow the unhappy precedents set by Europe 's emperors and monarchs. Police officers are trained to protect themselves and the public by using the minimal amount of force required to safely enforce the law. The use of force options can range from physical presence to deadly force, and not all situations are the same.
The requirements of hiring more public police officers usually higher than those for private police/security guards, and its more time consuming. Most private infrastructure when hiring security/police
On December 2, 2015 there was an office holiday party in San Bernardino. Employees were socializing and enjoying their selves. An employee and his wife enter the premises and starts shooting.

Would anyone rob a bank if they knew there were armed civilians inside. Let’s say, on a Friday night right before closing, a vehicle flies up to the bank barely stopping before two individuals jump out wielding long guns. They quickly scurry into the bank, immediately taking control away from every person inside. From this point on the people on the inside of the bank are at the mercy of those two criminals. Defenseless people, another story in the Sunday paper that is painful to read because its preventable. Now lets add a few people that exercise their right to bear arms in public. That vehicle might not show up, no Sunday article, and most importantly everyone goes home. Those people inside that bank are safer having protection at
