more guns needed?

So we got this crime alert from the campus police.

The victim, a guard employed by Vanguard Security, was working at the Stanford Gate House when she was approached by two subjects in a car. The driver pointed a gun at her and demanded money. She informed the subject that she had no money. The subjects then drove away

.

OK, I know attempted armed robbery isn't funny, but something about a security guard being robbed -- and not having any money because he doesn't get paid much money -- and the security guard not being able to protect himself other than to say he's broke is a little bit off kilter.

I have a solution: arm the security guards! That's what this campus needs - a few good wild-west style shootouts! Or not...
