Yes, a Texas private investigator with a valid Concealed Handgun License (CHL) can carry a concealed firearm while on duty. However, they must adhere to all state laws regarding the carrying of firearms, including where they can be carried and any restrictions that may apply. It's important for private investigators to be aware of their specific legal obligations and any limitations related to their professional activities.

Can you carry weapons after private investigator training?

How do you become a bounty hunter?

You have to ask the CIA. And they are called assassins now. _______________________________________________________ That is not true........It's called being a Privot Investigator..... Here is a small clip-it someone else wrote....... Age Requirements to be a Bounty Hunter From Derek Dallas, Texas Are there any age requirements to become a bounty hunter? ******************************************************************************* Derek, In TX, you must be at least 18 years old because that is the minimum age at which you can obtain a private investigator's license. Each state regulates bounty hunting differently- in states where a license is not required the bottom-line requirement will be 18 years of age because you must be of legal age to be assigned as an agent of the bail bondsman or surety upon the bail. This is very similar to a "Power of Attorney" and is only assignable to a person of "suitable age," which might as well read "adult." In some states that require licensing, the minimum age requirement is 21. It is also important to note that if you plan to carry a firearm while working, states will require that you are at least 21 years of age to obtain a concealed carry permit. Regardless of what you have been told or led to believe, you must follow all firearms laws of the states in which you are working! Just because we have an authorization to arrest a defendant given to us by a bail bondsman, we are not automatically entitled to posses a gun, either open-carry or concealed-carry. We are no different in this respect than any other private citizen unless our state issued license says otherwise! (Some states authorize a private investigator or bail agent licensee to carry a concealed firearm.) Lastly, if you are licensed and allowed to carry a concealed firearm in your state, then "concealed" means just that.. keep your weapon CONCEALED! It is typically only legal to brandish a firearm when your life or that of another is in imminent danger- making an apprehension doesn't qualify unless you can prove that you were in immediate danger. None of this is to be construed as legal advice! You are responsible for understanding and abiding by any laws that may apply to you in your situation! *******************************************************************************


Concealed weapon law in Maryland?

Handguns cannot be carried, open or concealed, without a permit issued by the Maryland State Police. Permits are issued for security guards, cash handlers, private detectives, retired police officers, and pharmacists or doctors (who handle narcotics). There is a provision where a permit may be issued to a private citizen for personal protection if that person can show 3 police- or court-documented threats on their life, but this is never granted due to the capricious and secretive manner in which the permit applications are reviewed.Non-firearm weapons are governed by a single statute: Title 4-101 of the Criminal Code. It is illegal to carry concealedany dirk knife, bowie knife, switchblade knife, star knife, sandclub, metal knuckles, razor, and nunchaku. It is legal to carry such weapons openly in plain sight. It is legal to carry folding knives and pepper spray concealed.


Can a Louisiana private investigators carry guns?

Yes, but being a Private Investigator does not automatically mean you can strap one on. If you are a licensedPrivate Investigator you must still obtain a permit to carry an exposed weapon from the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, and you may carry a weapon only when you are on duty. Most PI's in California do not carry a gun however,if you specialize in bodyguard work, you may need to carry one. In order to carry a concealed weapon, you must first obtain a gun permit issued by your local police or sheriff's department.

Do you have to travel if you are a private investigator?

As a private investigator you do need to travel locally nearly everyday. Overnight travel is less frequent for most investigators and it tends to be within your state where your license is issued. However if you work in conducting international investigation you may need to travel throughout the world. I have been in the PI business for over 20 years and I have traveled around the world on assignments and business development.


Can you carry a concealed weapon in your car if you have a state issued license to do so?

A CHL pertains to a person carrying the weapon and/or have the weapon is his possession or under his control. While this does not specifically include his or her vehicle, the argument is whether or not he is currently in control of said firearm. If you are driving the vehicle and responsible for the contents, a concealed firearm in the glove compartment would be covered by your license because, although it is not on your person, it would still be considered in your possession. This does not, however, necessarily cover all instances though. The license only covers a firearm that you could reasonably claim to be "in your possession". (This is not true in all states. In some states, the firearm must be physically in your possession and in others, only in arms reach. Even the definition of "arm's reach" varies state to state. In Texas, for example, "arm's reach" includes the back seat, whereas other states specifically don't. This is also affected by passengers in the vehicle.)

Do you have to have concealed weapon permit to carry gun?

I'm assuming you mean if you carry a weapon does it have to be concealed. It depends on where you are. For instance, the state of Tennessee does not issue a "concealed" permit, but a handgun carry permit and there is no specific requirement to conceal the gun by law. However, many states do require the weapon to be concealed. Check handgunlaw.us for more information.
