Do you oppose security guards in general, or only off-duty police officers working as security guards? I ask because as far as I can tell the practical alternative is to hire some guy who flunked out of the police academy and became a security guard instead, which seems... worse.

Personally I navigate life without hiring any security guards. But I recognize that some people and/or circumstances might have legitimate need for one.

I think the beef is with the idea that police have a trusted role in society, that is incompatible with being "goons for hire"

I’d just open carry my .45 into the Apple store. Probably wouldn’t go over well with the typical Apple crowd, but guarantee you won’t be robbed.

I did that once with a Glock 20. I didn't care if went over well; no way I'm gonna receive a large corporate order and move it to the parking lot at night any other way. No way to tell who had access to the order info in their system, though I will say I'd trust Apple on privacy far more than I would most other hardware companies.
