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?

I am from a country where almost nobody carry weapons. Even common criminals do not usually have gun.
So your standard “VIP” really do not fear to be shot in most situations. So bodyguards do not need to bear firearms.
There are of course few, very few, very poor, areas in the country “controlled” by the mob and there, there is a chance people (criminals) are armed with guns. A VIP would probably just stay the hell out of it.
People can get licences for sport or hunting, but weapons can be carried only unloaded inside carrier bags and only from your home to your place of use through an agreed route. Some people can get licence for concealed carry, but it is extremely difficult, costly and to be renewed once a year.
Except the police and the army, private security guards inside banks and post-offices are the only people you’d see openly carry.
