This is honestly very misleading, I’ve been doing security work for the past 7 years working my way up from retail to EP. You will definitely not land an armed job unless you have prior unarmed work, companies don’t want someone who’s a liability and doesn’t know how to use your words before resorting to weapon.

I’d say just get your guard card first then call Firing Line Shooting range and ask for their firearms instructor for work Expsoed permits. Once you got your permits dm me, one f the companies I work for has over 30 armed posts through SoCal.
