"Armed" guards with plastic guns

[BehindBlueI's]

Carmel company accused of impersonating police - TheIndyChannel.com

Without commenting one way or another on if they are falsely representing themselves as police... FAKE PLASTIC GUNS IN THEIR HOLSTERS???

I guess that fake open carry company has a market after all.

The news also stated several of them had warrants, it just gets better and better...

 

[Sylvain]

Maybe they are just Glocks and journalists think they are fake plastic guns.

Check doors , usually at night.
It's probably part of what they do.

I have zero issues with private, armed security. But, IMO I want them properly trained, properly armed, and properly paid.

Events over the last few years have more than adequately demonstrated that the days of minimum wage 'Paul Blart' security guards has passed.

Business (like malls, theaters, etc.) should be held fully accountable and liable (even criminally so) for their failure to provide adequate, proper security for its patrons. Especially so for those businesses that attempt to disarm it's law-abiding and lawfully armed customers. This includes gun shows that actually seek business from the legally armed citizen.

You would think that its just a given to have security at places like these. They have secuity at night in the form of an alarm you would think the would have some sort of security during the day.

Especially large public events like you stated, the mall/movie theatre

Meh, if there's no reported instance of them portraying themselves to the public as having law enforcement powers, then I don't see how this will stick.... and I'm assuming the cars didn't have cherries and berries light bars. As for them claiming to be armed, and the plastic guns.... are "real" guns the definition of being armed? They could have a butter knife in their boots and still technically qualify as being "armed."

If the police have no duty to protect, why should a business?

It's not the journalists, it's one of the allegations in front of the committee.

 

[HoughMade]

Because they contracted to do exactly that for specific people in specific places?

 

[yote hunter]

He's talking about all businesses, whether they've hired security or not.
