Except in this country an armed security officer is a rare thing. It's hard enough to find one carrying batons/cuffs etc, let alone a gun :(

However the security guard could carry an imitation gun, so long as he has a permit, was a member of a collectors society and the imitation was on display in a museum or locked up in a gun safe! :eek:

Not in NSW he couldn't, in the last few years all the rules have changed regards armed guards now cash in transit guards are about the only ones who carry, we gave up our lic several years ago as insurance and compliance cost just didn't make them worth the hassel:)

You missed the comment about it only being on display in a museum or in a gun safe.

I believe that Tasmanian Architect Ross Langdon believed he lived in the real world, it was certainly very real when he was executed by Al Shabaab militants.
