Gecko45, please do not continue use of your covert handle here. Territory is unfriendly. Disengage immediately. Repeat, disengage immediately. By this I take it that you think I am someone else. I went to the myspace page of that gecko. The next posted comment had it listed. That is funny as hell! ...

And I carry a gun because I don't know Security Officers. Can I trust you to protect my wife from the dude that just got out of jail, hiding in the dressing room? I'd rather not. What you're saying here implies that you (Security Officers) can't defuse a situation unless you feel like you can physi...

Bottom line--the security guards know the door is not properly posted. So when the see someone armed they must make a decision if that person is an immediate threat or if they are just someone who did not see the tiny sign by the one door. If they perceived this man as a real threat, they should ha...

OK, well this may be a 2 year old post but where I work similar to VCC mall, this is an ongoing issue.

Kennys, I dont' know what to tell you, you just had a really bad experience there. I don't know if the gun rule will ever change anywhere but I guess all we can do is work with what we have.

I agree that a few bad eggs have ruined the perception for security officers. I agree with your first two facts and as far as the third I hate to say it but you are right. In a lethal situation security officers are directed to help who they can and not put themselves in harms way unecessarily. I ge...

Don't get me wrong. It sounded as if the other person was saying "oh if people are mean to me or i feel threatend or to avoid being mistreated" That is how I took it. I understand that most people with guns are not going to just walk around like "I HAVE A GUN SO NOBODY MESSES WITH ME!...

Wow, I am sorry you had to be subjected to that. Most of the people I know have only worked there in the last five. I will agree though that a much larger sign in bold print would help as far reducing the number of and I hesitate to use this word but "confrontations" with law abiding gun o...

VBshooter, you said something about security in numbers to bolster bravado? Understand that I am a security officer and I know that mall. Security Officers respond in numbers because they don't know you. You may be and even Kenny S may be law abiding citizens but how many people are not? Nobody is r...
