A complainant would have to show that armed guards demonstrably reduces the probability of deaths occurring with robberies...and I'm sure the insurance companies have done the statistical calculations to prove that having no guards and just handing over the money is less dangerous to employees than armed guards trying to prevent it.
My guess would be the insurance costs for the robbery are lower than the costs of the liability of the security guards.
If you have a bank that is robbed and two of your employees are murdered by the robbers, unless there is some crazy extenuating circumstances, it would be difficult for the employee families to get much of a judgement against the bank. However, if a guard roughly handles a disruptive minority, you're going to see quite the judgment and insurance increase.
I believe the decision to remove guards is based upon financial concerns and not employee safety. That is must my opinion though.
Yep, the cost of security guards is part of it.
Also I don't think there is much evidence that armed security guards really make much difference.
The truly sophisticated robbers are fairly hard to stop. They may well have inside information, accomplices, disguises and other means of getting away.
The average yahoo often screws up or gets caught by law enforcement. My friend was telling me that they had two robberies where the thieves stuffed the money in their pants, unaware of the exploding dye packs.

Has this "good guy with a gun" been caught yet?

So if a "Good Guy with a Gun" does something bad, he suddenly turns into "Bad Guy with a Gun" and is therefore not representative of the "Good Guys" anymore.
you know the guy who did have a permit and a gun was told to go inside- on the adjoining building--probably saved his life! - he WOULDT have been first one shot by police- he would have appeared to be another shooter on the scene- BUT nobody mentions that
