Talk about jobs where you're paid to carry guns. Feel free to bring up your wifes boyfriends cool stories.
Anyone ever pay for picrel? Contracting work has dried up compared to GWOT levels, but that's likely changing.
I've already been in the US Army and have a CIB. Too old to go back not that I would anyway.

I already was in the military. I'm considering putting in for local LE, but I prefer to be in shithole countries. As I said, I'm past the age cutoff to go back in mil, otherwise I probably would.

Outside of being a state agent literally nothing, you could be an armed Paul Blart but god forbid you actually use your gun because your security company will drop you like a hat and let you get sued into a oblivion depending on the state you live in. Just make a good living to do this stuff as a hobby. Because even in 99% "/k/" jobs your not shooting guns.

Depends how broad you go with it I guess. I worked at a hotel for about 5 years at the night shift. I technically wasn't paid TO carry guns, but it was heavily encouraged and they would pay for one handgun if you had a cwp. I just sat at the front desk and played videogames on my laptop all night. I'd have maybe one or two people a night come down and say something was broken etc and I'd text the maintenance guy. Easiest job I've ever had

You can't nobody is going to hire you without military or police experience for any serious security job, and they generally want people with actual "deployment" experience. If you don't have those, then you are just going to be a standard Paul Blart standing around a high crime area with black kids screaming insults you at the mall.
>How do you start your own company?
Have a lot of money and have high connections within DoD and the government to score contracts.

I'm gonna be honest guys I have no idea what to do for a living. I have no idea what to major in, have no idea what trade I would take, I don't even know what field of interest to look into. I haven't worked a day in my life and the idea of employment is utterly foreign to me.

Unironically, join the military if you aren't fat/dysgenic physically. Unlocks GI bill to pursue a different career after you've matured.
>>64003845
Most of it is mallcop/hospital shit on other sites, but there are still some gems available. Maritime security seems to be where its at, I still need to get my passport and other certs though. I seem to remember an anon posting here a few years ago who worked in maritime, I was hoping this thread would page him. Hopefully he didnt get droned by houthis.

>paid to carry guns
It's not glamorous but I work as a hospital security guard, I carry a gun with a level three holster per the contract. It's mostly quiet in my area but my peers at bigger hospitals talk about getting into fights with psychs every night. I'm personally located in a high drug area so I'm wrangling people who get too uppity with nurses after EMS brings them in tripping balls. But it's mostly quiet but it happens enough to not be mundane, the turnover is pretty high but kinda perfect if you're just looking for a short term job while looking for bigger and better things.

I have seen quite a few openings for hospital work, I kind of imagined it being how you described. Does your state require any certs before employment for stuff like that?

Yeah, my state does require some certifications before you can start working in hospital security. Typically, you need to complete a set amount of training—basic security, firearms (if it's an armed position) with range time. After that, you have to submit documentation, pass background and fingerprint checks, and get licensed through the state. Once you’re licensed, you can accept a hospital job either in house or though a company.

I was doing pretty cool shit compared to permits etc, working out in the field and with critters. Its just the typical people you work with and the bureaucratic bullshit that I have grown sick of. I would rather be bored on a ship or on a shithole base babysitting niggers for triple canopy or something.

Might not be exactly be what op was asking for, but I work as a range safety officer
>inbefore all the walrus memes
We do allow rapid fire, but there are some rules some people would gripe about, but it is an outdoor public range in California so we do have to dumb shit down for people. Most things we have to deal with are people trying to walk up to shooting stations during target changes with people down range. Pretty sure I had one guy that was going to start shooting when we let people through to go post targets.

>see guy walk up to his shooting station when range is called cold
>"hey buddy, back away from the station"
>thought he just needed his targets or some shit
>only gun, mags and ammo at his station
>"I thought ceasefire was over"
>guy didn't notice people going downrange, the lights on, or the PA announcement saying "THE RANGE IS COLD"
>tell him to pay attention next time

The other shit is people opening up their cases with their guns pointed sideways or backwards. A lot of people will pick up the gun and flag themselves and others, and there have definitely been times where people have come there with their guns loaded.

I haven't seen anything super crazy, but ive definitely seen my fair share of major stupids. This comes from one of my coworkers though

The way it was described to me was that it happened so fast that no one could do anything to stop her. Like bang, bang, click, points at head and click without any pause. Although I will say that i've seen plenty of tuned out parents.

>be me on our 50 yard rifle range
>dad up at bench shooting
>~12 year old kid back in parking lot chucking rocks at a hill
>eventually shoots a bit with his dad
>dad sends him to go to the bathroom, alone, on a gun range
>have to tell him to go with his kid so jr doesn't do anything stupid

Although I have seen some very responsible parents
>mom, dad, son, and daughter roll up to 50 yard range
>kids glued to mom and dad
>they pull out nice .22 bolt action rifles
>set the kids up and actually have them shoot
>during target changes kids are still glued to mom and dad

had another dad shoot all day and thank us for being very nice to him and his son.

>>Uh did it go bang when she pointed it at her face?
no the gun didn't go off, but im pretty sure there were still live rounds in the cylinder that just weren't in line with the barrel.
>>Also, what kind of credentials did you need to get a job as an RSO? I've seen them listed but seemed kind of gatekept (major training facilities)
For this range I didn't need any credentials to work there, but there is about a 1 1/2 month training period. I don't know about any other ranges though. I do know that at some ranges its more of a volunteer position, but i'm getting paid and I get all the free range time I want

>on pistol range
>see guy open case with pistol sideways and pick it up
>if someone opens their case sideways or backwards we want people to close the case and turn the whole case before any hands on the gun
>go up to the guy and ask
>"does it make more sense to pick up a pistol and flag the whole range, or turn the case instead"
>guy enthusiastically says "I agree"

>another time had a guy back out of his station with his pistol, slide open and start turning it sideways
>ran up to him told him to keep it on his station and not to point it sideways
>guy is probably 30 years old
>im only 23 years old
>guy very sheepishly says "sorry sir, wont happen again sir"
I thought it was a funny reaction getting that from someone a lot older than me

He bought the ammo from us. when I asked him what type he asked for he said he didn't specify. I sent him back up to our office to exchange it for 12 gauge. Our office manager told us that he specifically asked for 20 gauge

People give range officers a hard time but they have to deal with even more stupidity.

kek I think I might know what range it is, thankfully not in CA anymore but when I lived in LA I used to go to one where I always had suspicions about the RSOs.
