G&L Security Training Review: Get your Guard Card and Firearms Certification

G&L Security Training provides the essential tools needed to become an armed security guard. Through our extensive and in-depth security training, you can gain the qualifications necessary and develop the skills to be a successful security guard. To become an armed security guard, you must meet all licensing requirements set by the state Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). The application process includes submitting fingerprints, completing shooting proficiency tests, attending a firearms training class, and passing background checks.

We took their course on Initial Exposed Firearms. This was a two-day fun-filled instruction that covers gun safety and when to use it. The second day concentrates on shooting. Edel has never fired a gun until this training. Garrett and Laramie covered the basics of shooting, how to aim, and how to shoot with a proper stance. More importantly, they covered the proper way to get into your stance from a holstered (gun secured in your holster) position.

The benefits of becoming an armed security guard are numerous. An armed security officer has a higher level of authority than their unarmed counterparts and may have access to more high security areas, including banks and airports. They also have the ability to protect their environment with a weapon if necessary.

The cost of becoming an armed security guard depends on the type of training required in your state and any additional courses you may choose to take. In California, G&L Security Training offers all courses at a reasonable rate that fits within most budgets. The entire process can usually be completed within two to three weeks, depending on the availability of classes and other factors.

Gun safety is an important part of security guard training as it teaches security guards how to safely handle and store weapons while also helping them develop proper communication techniques when dealing with potentially dangerous situations. G&L offers comprehensive gun safety training along with our security guard curriculums to ensure security guards are trained properly and safely.
