Firearms Ch 3 Quiz

Private patrol operators, private investigators, and alarm company operators are required to report any discharge of a firearm by their security guards, private investigators, or alarm company personnel to the Bureau within seven days. This reporting requirement ensures transparency and accountability in the use of firearms by these professionals, allowing the Bureau to monitor and regulate their activities effectively. Failing to report such incidents may result in penalties or disciplinary actions. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

If a licensed private patrol operator allows an individual to carry a firearm on duty without possessing a Bureau issued exposed firearms permit, it is considered a violation of the law. This violation can lead to criminal prosecution and disciplinary action from the Bureau, which may include revocation of the operator's license. Therefore, the statement is true.

The explanation for the answer being True is that the guard registration card and exposed firearms permit are personal belongings of the guard. This means that the guard has the right to possess and use an exposed firearm while working for any licensed private patrol operator or in-house employer. Therefore, the statement is correct.

If your guard registration has expired, it means that you are no longer legally authorized to work as a security guard. Therefore, even if your firearms permit is still current, you are not allowed to carry a firearm on duty because you are not legally permitted to work as a security guard.

If an individual uses their firearm in violation of the law, the Bureau has the authority to take several actions. They can revoke the individual's firearm permit, which means they will no longer be allowed to possess or carry a firearm legally. Additionally, the Bureau can revoke the individual's guard registration card, which may result in them losing their job or being unable to work as a security guard. Lastly, the Bureau can impose a fine upon the individual's employer as a consequence of the employee's actions. Therefore, all of the mentioned actions can be taken by the Bureau in such a situation.

If you possess a firearm permit, you must notify the Bureau of a change of address within thirty (30) days of the change of address. This is important because it allows the Bureau to keep accurate records of the current addresses of firearm permit holders. It ensures that they have up-to-date information in case they need to contact permit holders for any reason. Additionally, timely notification helps in maintaining the overall safety and security of the community by ensuring that the Bureau has the correct address on file for each permit holder.

If the discharge of a firearm happened on the firing range, it does not have to be reported to the Bureau. This is because firing ranges are controlled environments specifically designed for shooting firearms, and any discharges that occur within the range are expected and part of the normal activities taking place there. Therefore, there is no need to report such incidents to the Bureau.
