Armed Posts: Legal Limits and Weapon Control
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Some posts in India have an armed guard: a cash van, a bank, a jewellery shop, a remote store. You may work at such a post without a weapon, next to a guard who has one. You may be the supervisor who plans the duty.
A firearm adds strict law, strict records and new dangers. One mistake can kill a person.
This module is not firearms training. It does not teach anyone to handle, load or fire a weapon. It gives nobody the authority to carry one. It is also not the training that the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 (PSARA) asks agencies to give.
Focus: the licence decides who may carry. Everyone else never touches the weapon.
