Doing security work over the years, I'm required to do re-quals & classes a lot.
Many times, I advise new armed officers or those who are new to the industry to also get a valid concealed carry license too if they don't already have it.
My state's Div of Licensing allows the armed security training to meet the mandated requirements for a CCW. It costs another $150.00 or so but a concealed license is valid for 7/seven years.

I explain to new guards/armed security that if they want to carry a firearm with them while off duty or be in places going on/off work, a valid CCW will allow them to be covered in the event they have a lethal force incident.
If they change clothes or aren't in uniform, they can still be armed & have a valid permit/license for the gun.
