Security guards at tribal casinos in Wisconsin aren't armed, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe, the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians, the Oneida Nation and the St. Croix Chippewa Indians ban firearms at their gaming facilities. But none have metal detectors and none of the guards are armed, the paper said.

Security guards are trained to serve as witnesses for any crime, not to intervene, an industry expert said.
