Guess that answers that

It was reported over and over that Jeanne Assam, the lady who stopped Matthew Murray at the Colorado church shooting, was a security guard. This despite evidence to the contrary.

Turns out, we were right, she was not:

In Colorado Springs, where a troubled young man brought an assault rifle, two semiautomatic handguns and 1,000 rounds of ammunition to a church, security guards aren’t allowed to carry anything more powerful than a revolver.

That could change early next year, when the city will consider a proposal to permit licensed security officers to carry semiautomatic weapons.

First, revolvers are generally more powerful than semi-automatics. Second, Assam (IIRC) carried a Beretta 92, which would be illegal, apparently, if she was a security guard.

    The reporting on this incident isn’t about accuracy or legalities. It is about discrediting any action by a private citizen that may cause others to think they have the right and the power to depend upon themselves for defense.

    A self-reliant people are much less malleable and are much more difficult to control. Control of people being the what the issue is really about. The media is carrying the government’s water on this. As they have done for at least four decades now.

    A weak populace is much easier to take advantage of and therein lies the incentive of media to aid in the destruction of self-reliance in that populace.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
