i think the cartoon show, "Family Guy " said it best. regarding national guardsman..or any non to semi professional security people..." nothing like putting your life in the hands of a guy who sells cell phones monday thru friday."  ie: a couple of courses on gun safety, personal self defense, a day once in a while at the shooting range (boy, these sights are waaayy off!)   does not make for an authentic security force.  a real simple truth that doesn't get told enough is that most lay people under stress, even with practice, won't hit their target. may freeze and not even take the shot. may even accidentally shoot themselves. or another "friendly". 
  and  K Williams:  'LCC already employs a very professional team. They simply require the appropriate armament"  - the 2 statements made combined contradict each other. for all intent and purposes, a professional security force is appropriately armed.
