I know this isn’t about hunting, but I figured many of the individuals who post here may be familiar with firearms laws.

Does an individual need an armed guards license to carry his personal pistol with him while working for a security company? Or does he just need a concealed pistol license? Does he need one or the other, or both? Or does it depend on the company?

Note: I live in the state of Washington, and this question pertains to this state.
Why do I want to carry a gun?

Because I am the only individual working the site in a high crime area. I would feel much safer if I were armed VS being unarmed. Especially when confronting a group of 5-6 people.

I think anyone in their right mind would agree with me.
Mark, you are incorrect.

There is no client at my job. My job is on site at my job. It is it’s own security company. It doesn’t work for anybody else.

I’m filling out my pistol license application and I have some questions.

Question 38 reads: Have you ever been terminated/discharged from any employment or the armed forces for cause?

-I have definitely been discharged from a previous job but for reasons such as excessive lateness. Would I answer NO to this question?

Also, my fiance and I are recovering drug addicts. It specifically asks on the form if there has ever been a history of drug use. 4 years ago, we both changed our lives and no longer drink or use drugs. Is this going to negatively impact the application??

When my fiance quit using drugs, he checked himself into a mental hospital willingly for 2 days. This is also a question on the application. How will this affect the application?
I would never lie on the application! Was just wondering if these things would affect the decision.
I live in NY by the way!
Just to make myself clear about something. I got a rude e-mail from someone suggesting that I was going to be ‘buying a gun for my mentally ill fiance’. This is not the case, we are filling out our own separate applications.

I am just wondering how many on Y!A are actually packing? If you choose to do so; you can explain why you carry (previous crime victim, because you can, job related, etc) but that is optional. Thanks!
