I've been in both Mexico and Dominican Republic, where guards with long guns are seen.
That is NOT a good look. It does NOT make for a comfortable environment. We should NOT "become more comfortable" with that look.
Concealed weapons should be fine. Many states now have constitutional carry and you would never know who does or does not have a concealed gun -- and that is the point.
I understand what you are saying, but it very much confirms the point I'm making. Optics can not supersede the safety of our children. If your primary argument against visibly armed guards is it looks bad... I'm inclined to say, "get over it" as a counter argument.
You've been to places with armed guards, but have you lived there? How fast do you think you get used to seeing it, and it becomes background noise?
