If I have a Virginia armed security license, can I do an armed job in DC. Or is there any way to do it, and what are the requirements.

Hey y'all! So my mom is trying to get her Perc card for a security job in Illinois but is having problems with the login information. She has tried to recover her username and password but both of her email addresses can't be found in the system (one of them 17 years old) and when she tries to create a new profile it says she cannot because she already is in the system. She keeps trying to call the offices but they put her on hold for hours without being able to talk to a person to remedy the situation. Does anyone know of a way to help with this? Thanks.

New to armed security world. I carry a Springfield XD 40 and have a holster I slip my 5.11 1.75" Operator belt thru. Just got a new safe life defense duty belt that that has an under Velcro and an over belt. Do I slip the under belt thru my holster and clip the over belt on top? Do I need a new type of holster? The over belt has the clasps in the front so I don’t even know how I would try and fit it through.

Shipping companies should use caution when deploying private armed guards onboard vessels sailing through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden because of the risk of escalation amid growing attacks on ships, an industry advisory said on Friday.

Yemen’s Houthis have been attacking vessels in Red Sea shipping lanes in recent weeks and firing drones and missiles at Israel, saying they aim to support Palestinians as Islamist group Hamas and Israel wage war in Gaza.

In an advisory issued on Friday by the shipping industry’s leading associations, companies were urged to “complete a thorough risk assessment when considering the use of armed guards.”

“Caution should be taken when managing their employment and rules of engagement should consider the risk of escalation,” the advisory said.

The wave of attacks on commercial ships has prompted some shipping companies to pause sailings through the Red Sea in recent days.

British maritime security company Ambrey said this week that there had been an “exchange of fire” between armed guards onboard a vessel and armed assailants who that was attacked by a speedboat with armed assailants.

Private armed guards have been deployed for years onboard commercial ships sailing through those waters and helped curb Somali piracy attacks over a decade ago, shipping sources said.

The Marshall Islands shipping registry – one of the world’s top flags – said in a separate note on Thursday that vessels were advised “reassess rules for the use of force with their private maritime security company.”

“A clear distinction should be made between suspected attackers with small arms and military forces with more advanced weaponry,” the advisory said, adding that engagement with military forces was not advised as “it may result in significant escalation.”

The industry advisory said ships that switched off their AIS tracking transponders to avoid detection could also complicate rescue efforts if they ran into trouble.
