Can security guards open carry?

I did security work right out of high school. I remember going to qualify for my gun permit...wow. There were a lot of other guys there to qualify...and they were HORRIBLE. Just think of everything wrong you've ever seen at a shooting range. Well it was ALL there at the same time. Some of them were shooting the wooden frame into pieces instead of hitting the actual paper target inside of it. I had to shoot three times as I was putting 3 different calibers on my card. Several of them took several times through the testing to score high enough to qualify once. Very scary.

Funny thing, my bank, Wells Fargo has a security monitor, like the commercial.
Across the parking lot is Bank of America with an armed security guard. I was talking to the security monitor at Wells Fargo and asked him if he needs a gun will the Security Guard from Bank of America come and help him out.

when I worked Armored Car I used to go to Wells Fargo Cash Vault Every Day..at least 3 times a week WF security would hand me someones gun they left in the bathroom..so yeah..lots of armed guards do stupid things with their guns..even had a few fire off rounds in the trucks..including a shotgun into a side window..and one guy even blew a hole in his own hand trying to do a press check..and I have seen people trying to qualify for their gun card that I wouldnt feel good about having a pointed stick within 50 feet of them...
