After Banko Brown was shot and killed outside a Walgreens, SFGATE asked San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors whether private security should have guns.
that defines the circumstances under which security guards can draw their handguns more specifically than state law does.
To gauge whether San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors is considering strengthening local regulation of private guards, SFGATE reached out to all 11 members and gave them four days to provide responses to the following two questions: 1) As a general matter, do you believe private security guards operating in San Francisco should carry firearms? Why or why not? 2) Would you support legislation that prohibits, or significantly restricts, the use of firearms by private...
Two supervisors responded that they do not believe the city’s private security guards should be able to carry guns, and three said they would support increased local regulations of armed security guards. One supervisor said that private security should be armed, and that they do not believe local regulations can be meaningfully enacted. Five supervisors did not respond to our questions.
“Private security guards should not be allowed to carry lethal weapons. They haven’t had the rigorous training of police officers who follow strict protocols overseen by an independent police commission. Security guards in a retail store certainly shouldn’t carry guns because there is no item worth protecting at the cost of human life. A non-lethal taser could be considered for extreme cases when someone needs to be subdued after posing a physical or lethal threat to people in the store.
“Since 2021 I’ve worked to increase accountability for private security while improving police recruitment and retention because unregulated firearm use puts San Franciscans at risk. Everyone deserves to feel safe in San Francisco, and I won’t let up until they do.”“I believe strongly that private security guards should never unholster their guns to protect property, especially a handful of candy.
