Question

Answer
Marcus,

I don't know what state you live in, but in my experience the laws vary widely from state to state regarding concealed carry.  If you can provide me with your state of residence, I can probably give you a better, more precise answer.

In Arizona, there is only one type of permit for concealed carry.  It would be the same permit for either business or personal applications.  There are a couple of caveats though...

First, in Arizona you have the right to carry a concealed weapon in your place of business without having a permit.

Second, if you are an employee of a security company in Arizona, you must be in possession of either an 'unarmed' guard card or an 'armed' guard card.  Arizona has training and background check requirements that must be met before these cards are issues.  Once issued they DO NOT permit concealed carry unless the guard in question has an "Armed Guard" card and also has a CCW permit.

Drop me a follow up with your state of residence and I'll be able to give you an answer.

Cheers,

Doug
