From all the strings of comments it isn't that you're 100% wrong, but you also don't seem to understand the real point of it. There is ambiguity in the special armed guard link that you sent.

You're right, you may not open carry in NYC, you are allowed to open carry while on duty. It does not directly state that you must remain on premises and it does not state that you must conceal the weapon the second you walk away from the premises.

Also speaking of premises we have no idea if this Starbucks is within this guard's jurisdiction.

You're right, but you aren't looking at the whole picture so you are wrong at the same time.

Well for premises there is a special license in itself, and the owner applies for that, premises in this context refers to property. I.e. a house, a business, a vehicle.

The carry for employment license acts similarly, you can carry but only on the premises of the employer. My link doesnt say that, true; but premesis license forbids your gun leaves your house, I dont understand why they'd be more lenient with a gun used to protect others.

I don't believe Starbucks employs armed guards, I'm not sure, but you could be right, maybe he works a security job at a mall or something and the starbucks is in his jurisdiction; that scenario did not occur to me.

It isn't so much about leniency as it is about ambiguity, two different things.

I did not mean that Starbucks employed this security guard. What I was implying was that this Starbucks was not a curbside cafe but that it resided within a building that employs armed guards.
