BSIS Certified California Exposed Firearms Permit

Even if you are licensed or registered in the security field, you may not carry a gun on duty, whether loaded or unloaded, unless you have been issued an exposed firearm permit by the Department of Consumer Affairs. California Exposed Firearms Permit must be kept on your person at all times while on duty.

Our California Exposed Firearms Permit training seeks to provide essential education and certification to those wishing to work in the security field. Even if you are already licensed and registered in this field, you are not able to carry a gun on duty. This applies to both loaded and unloaded weapons. However, you can obtain the right to carry a firearm if you are issued with an exposed firearm permit by the Department of Consumer Affairs. Our California Exposed Firearms training is designed to provide you with the knowledge and experience required to obtain this permit.

What the California Exposed Firearms Permit course involves:

The CA Firearms Permit focuses on a variety of different areas pertinent to exposed firearms certification. You will learn about both the legal and moral aspects of firearm usage, as well as firearms nomenclature and maintenance techniques essential for proper conduct. The course also includes situational case studies and live simulator scenarios in an effort to provide a reliable, basic framework for safe firearm usage and management.

As well as providing extensive theoretical knowledge of working with and using firearms, half of your course will be spent on the range undergoing practical training. This will involve complete guidance as to the correct safety and handling practices of firearms. We will also provide a thorough overview as to the fundamentals of accuracy.

Overall, our course is designed to unite both a studied understanding of firearms with practical usage advice. When the course is complete, you should have a thorough understanding of everything that is involved in the safe usage of firearms. You will have practical knowledge of how this can be adhered to when completing security work.

Our course is specifically designed to ensure you pass the examinations at the end of the course. When these exams are complete, you will be provided with a permit that allows you to carry a firearm while working in the security industry. It is important to note that from the moment you receive this permit, you will be required to carry it with you at all times while working as a security guard.
