Guard

I have always worried about something like this happening while walking by one of the many guards all over the Philippines and many with their fingers on the triggers during armored car deliveries. I often zig or zag and try to get as far away from many of them that have fingers anywhere near the triggers. Anyone else zig or zag away from those guys or is it just paranoid me? If not then maybe you all should start thinking like me. THREE persons, including a drama talent, were wounded when a security guard

I was always taught to keep my finger outside the trigger guard unless I was about to fire the gun. Aren't these people trained? Don't they have supervisors that review safety procedures with them?

You are not alone in this Lee. I avoid the Shotgun guys as much as one can. Often they have finger inside the trigger guard while they "sweep" you with the shotgun as you pass through the doorway.

Well guys HERE is yet another security guards shotgun that went off and this time seriously injuring 3 people, so who do we fear more, the criminals or those possibly poorly trained security guards with powerful weapons?  Three wounded as blue guard's shotgun goes off

My concern is more about the basic mechanical safety of many of the firearms there. Maintenance is surely not one of the top priorities. Mix poorly maintained and constructed firearms with little to no training? Hmmm makes for a wreck waiting to happen.

Standard operating procedures: finger in trigger guard, sleeping, poorly trained, poorly equipped, overworked with less pay,under the influence or inside job. This time of the year, where children out Christmas shopping and stopping by at a typicalJollibee where these yo-yos have their "momentary lapse in judgement". How do you approach them? Sir, would you mind taking you finger off the trigger? Will you "make his day" by embarrassing him? Will the manager evenrespond or care about the safety of his customers? Or just go to another Jollibee.......yeah right?Jake
