content: Funny thing, that. Most security firms where I live don't actually allow rent-a-cops to have firearms while on the job. The courthouses and government buildings are typically guarded by sheriff deputies (Who are, of course, armed) but rent-a-cops typically just call the police and document the incidents for when they arrive.  Then again, this is Florida, and Tampa, no less. Florida itself has such a reputation for insanity that not only did it spawn the "Florida Man/Woman" meme, the rest of the South just wishes a seismic fault like California's San Andreas would appear, and Florida could just slide off into the Gulf. Guess it's just par for the course, there.
