Concealed carry in a cargo pocket.

I never really got a clear answer on the carry thing. Since I would not be carrying at my employer's request (it was actually forbidden), I'm not sure that the ACT235 armed security guard thing counts.

I know that if you are a security guard and have any lethal weapon, you need Act 235. If you happen to be working and use a gun without Acy 235, you will need a lawyer.

Statute please?

§ 21.2. Mandatory certification. Privately employed agents, regardless of their place of residence or employers’ location who, as an incidence to their employment, carry a lethal weapon within this Commonwealth. Training schools or instructors shall be certified by the Commissioner prior to engaging in any activity which is regulated by the act. http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/03...r21/s21.2.html

§ 21.4. Employer responsibilities. A person, association, corporation, or other entity who employs a privately employed agent under the act shall first ensure that the agent possesses a current and valid certification card from the Commissioner. Whenever an employer of a certified agent discharges him for cause which would have prohibited certification, the employer shall forward written notification of the discharge to the Commissioner within 5 days. Failure of an employer to ensure that a privately employed agent is currently and validly certified by the Commissioner may constitute a violation of 18 Pa.C.S. § § 306 and 903 (relating to liability for conduct of another and complicity and criminal conspiracy). http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/03...r21/s21.4.html

Just for clarification, you would be required to be Act 235 certified to carry as a security officer.

Privately employed agent—Any person who is employed for the purpose of providing watchguard, protective patrol, detective or criminal investigative services either for another for a fee or for his employer. Privately employed agents do not include local, State or Federal government employes or those police officers commissioned by the Governor under 22 Pa.C.S. § § 3301—3305 (relating to railroad and street railway police), while performing their public/railroad employment duties. The term shall include a police officer of a municipal authority. http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/03...r21/s21.1.html
