How do private bodyguards function against armed threats in places where it’s illegal to carry?

831 views

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?

You get something called a mobile holster. For example. The bodyguard hires a local National that is allowed to carry a gun and they always stay a few feet from them or the gun is left in the middle of the car. If anything happens they take the gun; service the targets and give the gun back. Obviously this won’t work in a lot of countries, but it works in enough to stayed employed. The biggest thing a bodyguard can do to increase the likelyhood of getting a job is to increase there medical training as an emt, paramedic as well as become proficient in local languages. At the end of the day your not just a shooter and you need to use your skills to avoid those situations. If bullets start flying the bodyguard failed at some point to mitigate threats on the route.
