Security guard shoots armed man in Starbucks parking lot | www.kirotv.com

So you get in a fight at Starbucks, and a security guard breaks it up and tells you to leave. No charges filed, nothing, just stop making a disturbance and get out of there, and you decided it seems like a good idea to pull a gun on the guy?

Man I really hope this moron didn't have a permit and bought the gun illegally. Otherwise it is another idiot giving the rest of us a bad name.

Given that everyone involved bolted, makes me think that these weren't law abiding people. Could be wrong though..

I was thinking along the same lines. But we will probably only hear about it if they are permit holders and it fits the media party-line. Otherwise the story will dissapear.

In Multnomah county (Portland etc) the security guard would not have been allowed to be armed unless he also had a CHL. How stupid is that?

Eh?? If you're a security guard up here you need a CPL before you can carry which makes perfect sense to me.

It makes absolutely ZERO sense that you must have a concealed carry permit in order to open carry. That is one of the dumbest twists in logic I have ever seen.

Wether or not it makes sense for security guards to have training or certifications is a completely different question.

I wonder why the Glock in the picture is cleared. Is it SOP to clear the gun and leave it laying there? or is there more to the story?

I was merely responding to the security guard CPL requirements, not the open carry portion of the "debate".

What did the douche expect? As far as I can tell, it's one more worthless POS off the street.

Washington State requires a CPL for armed security (as well as PI's and Bail Recovery Agents) because that satisfies the BG check requirement of the license endorsement without the State having to do it themselves.

Once the applicant presents their CPL with the application and fee, then they have to pass the DOJTC course's written and shooting qualification.

After passing both tests, the applicant gets an "Armed" endorsement on their professional licenses.

Re-qualification is required each year,, including live fire using each duty weapon the licensee desires to carry on duty. The live fire tests are easier than the police courses of fire, but are fairly adequate for the purpose.

Umm... Thanks for the info.
