In order to carry a firearm on duty, what must a guard possess?

To carry a firearm on duty, a guard must possess both a security guard card and a firearms permit. The security guard card indicates that the individual has met the necessary training and licensing requirements to work as a security professional. Meanwhile, the firearms permit validates that the guard has completed additional training specifically for firearms handling and meets the legal requirements to carry a firearm while on the job. Possessing both credentials ensures that the guard is adequately qualified and lawful to operate with a firearm in their professional capacity, thereby promoting safety and compliance with legal regulations.
