What is required for a guard to work with an exposed firearm?

To work with an exposed firearm, a guard is required to possess an exposed firearms permit. This permit is specifically designed to ensure that individuals are adequately authorized and meet the necessary legal requirements to carry and use firearms in public. The requirement for such a permit typically involves undergoing background checks and demonstrating knowledge of firearm safety and handling.

Having this permit is critical because it serves as a formal recognition by the state or relevant authorities that the guard has completed the necessary steps to be trusted with a firearm. This includes understanding the laws governing firearm use, safe handling practices, and any training mandated by the state to responsibly carry an exposed weapon.

While licenses, safety course certificates, and special training may be related to firearms handling, the primary requirement specifically governing the carrying of an exposed firearm is the possession of an exposed firearms permit.
