   AB 2128, as introduced, Gaines. Private security services:

guard who carries a firearm to maintain an insurance policy that
provides minimum limits of insurance of $500,000 for any one loss due
to bodily injury or death and $500,000 for any one loss due to
injury or destruction of property.
   This bill would require that insurance policy to provide minimum
limits of insurance for an unspecified amount for any one loss due to
bodily injury or death and for an unspecified amount for any one
loss due to injury or destruction of property.
