BSIS Exposed Firearms
Instructor-led firearms permit training for eligible California private security professionals. This course combines classroom instruction, written testing, and range qualification located in North Highlands, CA.
Description
BSIS firearms permit applicants must complete required training, pass required examinations and qualifications, complete the application process, pay fees, and complete the background check process. Security guard registrants seeking an initial firearms permit must also pass the required assessment within the six months before submitting the application.
Applicants must complete BSIS firearms training and qualification at a Bureau-approved firearms training facility with a Bureau-approved firearms training instructor. The applicant must qualify with the caliber that will be carried while on duty.
Important: A BSIS Firearms Permit authorizes exposed carry only for the qualifying license type and caliber listed on the permit. It does not authorize concealed carry.
Prerequisites
A new law went into effect on July 1, 2018 that requires a BSIS security guard registrant seeking to associate a BSIS Firearms Permit to the guard registration to complete an assessment to demonstrate that they are capable, at the time the assessment is completed, of demonstrating appropriate judgment, restraint and self-control for the purposes of carrying and using a firearm when performing security guard duties. (Business and Professions Code Section 7583.23 and 7583.47).
NOTE: Effective January 1, 2022, the assessment must be completed prior to submitting an Application for an Initial Firearms Permit. This is a significant change. Prior practice was to take the assessment AFTER you applied; as of January 1, 2022, you must take it PRIOR to applying for a firearms permit.
