I work part time as a security officer on the weekends? Just the local cotton mills, warehouse and such. Alot of these places are in bad neighborhoods and we the guards are not allowed to carry a firearm.
They tell us to call 911. But in my opinion I feel tha I have the right to protect myself so I pack a pocket pistol, cellphone, Maglite flashlight OC spray and my trusty ColdSteel folder. But If I get caught with my protection I or we will get fired and God knows we working folks cant afford that. I have not had any problems yet, but was advised just this week to keep a watch on the break ooms and shop areas because of someone came in at the first of the week and carried of alot of goods so if we cant pack, what are we to do? We have no training ecept for fire watch and making rounds every hour. we have no training in dealing with dangerous situations or anything and its all 3rd shift. I pack anyways and take my chances.
