Well as some of you may have read in another thread, I recently got a job working armed security.
My supervisor said in the 16 years he's been doing this, he has never had a guard hurt on the job.
That's well and good, but I am not the biggest guy in the world, and the only thing we carry are firearms. And in my opinion you can't just shoot someone becuase your afraid of getting your *** kicked.
My question is this:
I know that some security guards carry mace, ASPs and cuffs and I'm sure there is special training for each. Can people besides LEOs take the classes to be trained to carry an ASP? I find it semi-hard to believe that everyone thinks it is safer to give us firearms than other forms of defense.
My guess is that it is up to the individual security agency to say what we can and can not carry, I am just curious to see if these classes are open to the public.
