7-12-13 arizona security company owner speaks

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The owner of an Arizona security company says its guards at a Wisconsin mine site needed guns because of strange and threatening behavior by mine opponents. Bulletproof Securities pulled its guards from the Gogebic Taconite mine site in northern Wisconsin yesterday because they lacked state licenses. Gogebic spokesman Bob Seitz says the guards will get licenses and return to work within days. He says guards were carrying lightweight rifles because handguns wouldn't have been effective.
