Who needs a Class "G" license?
To carry a firearm in the performance of regulated security duties, security officers and agency managers must also obtain a Class “G” Statewide Firearm License.
Only Class “C,” “CC,” “D,” “M,” “MA” and “MB” licensees are permitted to bear a firearm, and any such licensee who bears a firearm must also have a Class “G” license.
No employee may carry or be furnished a firearm unless it is required by their duties, and it may be carried only in connection with those duties. The firearm must be encased in full view at all times unless otherwise provided by law.
Training requirements
- An initial course of instruction that includes 28 hours of classroom and range training on the use of firearms in connection with duties regulated under Chapter 493, Florida Statutes.
- To maintain licensure, Class “G” license holders must complete four hours of requalifying training each year.
