They’ve got guns, but it would be mega illegal to use those guns in any situation that it wouldn’t legal for you, the random shopper, to also whip out a gun and use it. Unlike a cop, who has the legal authority to use his guns in far more situations than you do.
Ok so what? Your argument is that they just have a cop-like uniform, cop-like mentality, and cop-like demand from reactionaries, but just because they’re only allowed to shoot a gun when “their life is threatened,” it makes them exactly the same as you?
They don’t get qualified immunity, but buddy you’re not wearing a badge and walking around with a utility belt with your gun hanging out. No one perceives you with authority and fear. You gate keeping the gym is not the same as you being paid to train to fight and kill someone for a client lol.

You have some very strange ideas about what security guards do
Enlighten me then. What do security guards armed with pistols or batons or tasers train on then? If I hired them to protect my store then why would I want someone who is incapable of killing a threat? I mean of course the description will say “disable” or “neutralize” the threat.
