Just seems odd to me.

I'm no security expert, but I'm sure they're not part of the security of the place, just decoration. More weapons in public places increases the likelihood of an accident. No need for them to have ammo handy.
Wouldn't have changed anything in this instance anyways. Unlike the movies, I doubt the guard would have started firing his weapon in a crowded place. Plus, if it's just a clip being handy, by the time he gets the clip in and the gun ready, real security would be ready anyways. Kinda superfluous to have another weapon around is what I'm saying I guess
