Quoted:
So I got my card in the mail the other night (FLA non-resident),
So yesterday I took a drive on over to PA and excercised my right.
Ill tell you what, its different, but I think I like it.
Walking around a mall, all I could think was wow, this security gaurd is here to protect the people of the mall, yet Im the Joe Shmoe who is able to walk around with a gun, and hes not.
Observe and report, baby. Observe and report.
That, and customer service, is what most security officers are for (and to make insurance companies happy [e.g. getting a lower insurance rate]). Especially of the mall variety. Mostly, security officers are supposed to act as witnesses, because most companies don't want to be sued because somebody stubbed their toe in the course of an arrest.
Congratulations on getting your CCW!
