Private bodyguards have the same rights as every other civilian. This means that if a state prohibits people from having firearms, private bodyguards wouldn’t be treated differently.
How then will a private unarmed bodyguard be able to protect a vip in very dangerous parts of town where almost everyone (Edit: a lot of persons) has illegally obtained firearms? Are they trained to disarm people? Or do they just scatter and bail?

There are often legal exemptions for companies vs citizens. You’d probably just have to have your bodyguard company apply for the correct licensing.
You can alter your tactics to use different technology when in different places. Perhaps you’d be allowed to use a non-lethal gun. There’s air guns that shoot capcaisin balls instead of paintballs that are concealable for sale in the UK for instance. Maybe you up armor your client or yourself or both.
Also yea sometimes you follow the better to beg forgiveness than ask permission doctrine. If your a rich VIP its better to hire a lawyer for your bodyguard and be alive right?
Thats my take at any rate…..
