Security guards are allowed to carry on their way to and from work, if they are still in uniform. I seem to recall there was a change in the law to remove the word "directly" from this part of 46.15, just to allow this type of thing. The guards successfully argued that making them disarm to stop for gas or a snack made them a target for the badguys.

In a way, their argument made some sense. They are still a target, but now could possibly fight back. Only time will tell if the change makes any real difference either way (I am betting on no difference, but I just don't see the shooting situations happening that often to anyone, chl's security guards, or cops). I do see it as a step towards loosening up other restrictions if it does work out well.
