Hmm, if you want to climb poles for a living you bring your own equipment. When it needs replacing, company pays it. Not saying you are wrong but, there are different ways to look at it. Who provided the gun? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krip 2 #32 June 13, 2009 Quote Quote Quote My brother works security and had to provide all of his equipment except uniform. In DC, he'd be arrested for that. True. The nutter did a very bad thing. I suspect at 88yo, he figured he had nothing to lose and just wanted to grab 15 minutes of fame.In response to the discussion of the guards equipment: Would a security guard in DC be arrested for supplying his own vest?We had a friend who's son was a guard who's employer wouldn't supply the kid a vest.. We all chipped in and bought the kid a vestR.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #33 June 13, 2009 QuoteThey closed the museum Thursday for a "Day of Mourning" in honor of the guard who was murdered. Personally, I think that closing the museum, even for a day, gave the shooter exactly what he wanted. The best tribute to the guard would have been to keep the museum open with free admission that day to allow people to see what it was the man was guarding, and have baskets available to collect donations for his family. If it's any small comfort, when the museum reopened, it was swamped by visitors determined not to let hatred win: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/06/11/ST2009061101157.html?hpid=topnews Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
