I want to become armed security guard. They say I need my pistol license first is this where I get it ?

You should stop in or call with questions. The staff would be happy to answer them.

For the New York armed guard permit you first need to have the regular guard permit. Living in NYC you then need to apply for to get your Residence permit, this not a business CCW. Once you have both then you take the New York State hour In-Service course, with copy of that certificate and your guard permit you send to New York State license department.. you got it. I must warn you that in New York City unless you're former or active law enforcement, most armed guard companies will not hire you because of the strict liabilities that NYPD put on the industry inorder to monopolize the field since NYPD also until last year hired out thier off duty officers as armed guards in NYPD uniform. So if you're not part of the blue family, at least here in NYC you will not get hired if you're a civilian... outside of the city it's a little bit easier.
