First, I live in Los Angeles, California (and all that entails).
I was recently offered a job doing armed Estate security for a very wealthy retired couple. I've worked as an armed officer (security), and have an exposed weapon permit. This job involves wearing a suit and tie and carrying concealed. I assume I can carry as long as I'm on private property, but the couple mentioned I may occasionally be picking up or dropping them off at the airport. I made it clear without a CCW I won't be able to carry concealed off property. The couple doesn't know much about the inns and outs of security and told me to just "take off my jacket so everyone can see the weapon!". I realise it isn't that simple and plan on leaving the weapon at their residence on the airport runs, whether they like it or not. But I did say I'd look into what I would need. This being Los Angeles unless they know someone I'd say I'm S.O.L. as far as the CCW is concerned.
I mentioned this to another security officer friend of mine and he said I'd need to be working for a security company and wearing a uniform in order to drive with the exposed weapon.
Any insight would be appreciated.
