Last year, my primary job was as a security guard on a private ranch. I took the classes for a Level 3 (Commissioned) Security Officer & for a CHL, but before either of those licenses made it to me, I carried concealed on the job. I did get griped at when I took a shot at a bobcat that was a bit too friendly near the parking lot, but otherwise didn't discuss it much. There were other wild animals (4 & 2 legged) I saw out there that could definitely ruin a person's day/night if put in a compromising situation without a way to defend one's self. The way that I read the law was that I was "in control of" the property while working there.

However, there are some strange laws where a uniformed security officer cannot carry concealed, so I was likely breaking the law. I don't like that not being allowed to carry a BUG. I mean, I was licensed to open carry, so what's the difference in whether or not I carried concealed also?
