are they just a deterrent, or actually an asset?

Speaking of guards, one time I went with Kram3r to Britain, and we slept together, but anyway, he said "G'day" to one of the guards and then he flew back to Australia.

Naa, there a joke. I almost thought they were gonna pull a gun, and then I came.

they are a waste of time, if you ask me.

No guards is a waste of time

As long as they carry uniform they serve my purpose just fine

Im not going to pick a fight with a guard built like a tank whether he has a gun or not ermm

well, I was an unarmed guard, but never got messed with.

A guard probably is a guard for a reason I am sure he is pretty good at fighting

the one we have tonight is an overweight old lady

This has been another useless fact brought to you by that guy who calls himself dave.

SGA?

they are good for standing by with 5150 patients in hospitals. they are good for neutralizing combative patients in hospitals. they are also good for keeping the peace during emergency situations. (evacuate buildings when there are bomb threats) they are good for alerting the authorities/police.

They're not allowed to be armed here. But then again there's less crime here, partly due to the fact that the whole country aren't allowed a gun whenever they please.

on the other hand there are security guards who hides out in the building and sleep during the job which makes them useless.

Where I work all of our guards are unarmed, and I think they do do some good, because just having them walking around in uniform deters anyone from doing anything, and they've helped when we get lost child reports, and when someone takes something from the giftshop, etc.

We only have one at the mall over here and he's built like a water balloon ready to pop.

Hellooooo? Is pepper spray not considered a weapon? As the Englishman John Smith once stated, "Hell hath no fury like a woman with peppery spray." Of course, I'm not sure if Pocahontas had a little can of bottled up torment.

Oh, and an unarmed guard doesn't really do anything but make a tresspasser thing twice about entering and doing whatever he or she came to do. Guards should at least be armed with a baton, if you ask me.

Any guard is a good guard
