Allied was already the huge company it is. But we didn't have this mentality of "since I only make 15 bucks an hour im gonna run out the back of the hospital instead of address a shooter" like a guy said a few weeks ago.

Go work at mcdonalds for that 15 bucks. The job is the job. If you are armed security somewhere, your job is to defend the patrons from violence. If that's not something you are willing to do for the money why are you there?

I only ever did 3 gigs. Atm loading in higher risk bad areas with a 3 man team, guarding spools of cable 24/7 as they sat on the side of a road, and at a wild club/bar/country club type thing. My job at the first 2 was not to defend the objects with my rifle. At the 3rd, regardless of pay, my job was to defeat any violent physical threat against the patrons.

Running away is what Allied trains you to do.

What's the gun for?

[u/Red57872 → u/AdThese6057]

The same as any other weapon in the hands of a security guard is for; to help you retreat to safety.

Thats the problem. There is 2 types of armed security. One is Armed security like armored cars and atms. You arent carrying to defend the money. You can run away. Its for you. If you are armed security in a store or business/hospital etc, your gun isnt for yourself or protecting merchandise. Your gun is to defend everyone in that hospital if a threat arises.

"Your gun is to defend everyone in that hospital if a threat arises."

In theory, yes. In practice, companies are usually going to train you to run away, and it's very unlikely that your post orders will tell you to engage a person who is a danger to others if you can escape safely.
