By giving guards guns, banks put customers at risk

By giving guards guns, banks put customers at risk

Nobody in a bank should be armed – including the Bangkok Bank guard I saw last week. 

The reasons are:
1) The bank’s insurance should cover such losses.
2) If a robber knows that the branch guard is armed, the guard will be the first one killed.
3) Customers don’t want to be in the middle of a shootout – especially when they’re sitting ducks.
