Obtain a concealed carry license for a weapon and a state license if one is required for a security position. Different companies have different hiring requirements for armed or unarmed positions. For armed most will require either previous security, military, or police experience. The standards for unarmed security positions will not be as strict. If you have upper level education, even an associates, it will help tremendously. Start with the large companies and work your way down. There are a lot of Mom and Pop companies who handle a couple of contracts and try to make as much money as possible out of them. That means you might have trouble getting paid.
