Hi JC JC, thank you for your feedback. The safety of our employees and members is our top priority. Please know that we utilize best practices in branch security measures when it comes to both our systems, staff training and security guards.
I am sure that having a gun could be dangerous for all involved, unfortunately. Even law enforcement are known to misuse firearms on occasion. It is true, though, it could be that if a security guard is equipped with a gun, and that it is visible, that this action could definitely deter someone for their own good also. Innocent lives, without interference right away, are also sure to be saved in the event of scuffle. I should know. I was attacked recently at Lake Merritt and was nearly beaten to death. The bank should alert politicians about the dangers of allowing people out of jail and prison without a place to go. There is very little incentive for people not to re-engage in the habits that they inquire while incacertated. Sad but true. No one is paying to pending after effects!
