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?

Guns are simply highly regulated, they are not outright illegal anywhere. Almost everywhere there are exceptions on how a civilian can legally carry a gun. It’s not necessarily a simple process, but there is a process to get a permit. Job requirements like security for cash transfers can get a gun everywhere or might in fact be required to carry one by law, more general mall guard however might be explicitly barred from carrying a gun on the job even if in private life they have permission to carry. It all depends on local legislation.
