I would like to know why private security guards, who aren't sworn peace officers, and have as much "authority" (there only job is to observe, report and deter crime) as the average citizen can legally open carry a loaded weapon while law-abiding members of the public can't. in some instances, a member of the public has far more firearms training than a private security guard, but that person can't open carry a loaded weapon.
Why is that? When will this be challenged? Private security guards should not have more rights than the public.
Has this issued been talked about much here?
