Anyone here have a Guard card?

[unozero]

I'm going to get one tomorrow, any pointers?
I'm gonna get maces/tazered or some crazy shit am I?
Switching from working Retail to being a Paul Blart p) Mall Cop....hey it's not a big step but it's still a step in the right direction...

 

[Naph]

Is this some Magic bull shit?

 

[unozero]

No...it's a licence to be a security guard.Eventually you get a gun qualification,mace etc..

 

[kineaesth]

I run white/blue with a few black/artifact cards to boost off.

 

[Krynn72]

I prefer to play a more aggressive style personally, so I don't have any guard cards in my deck.

 

[Unfocused]

You don't have any guard cards? But isn't the possibility of eventually getting a mace tempting?

 

[mechanicallizard]

Gun > mace

 

[Dog--]

Just don't go on a power trip, lots of people who are security/guards do that and it just makes people respect your authority even less. At the end of the day, you have no real power and you aren't a cop.

That being said - I'd love to be a security guard seems like a fun job.

EDIT: @unforcused - don't you think people would listen to a guard more if he had that instead of a spray can of mace?

No they'd be more like: runs away screaming like a little girl, from the lunatic with a medieval weapon.

 

[Stylo]

We're guardsss.

 

[Shem]

I'd rather use mace than Axe.

Yes, there is more than one spray that has the same name as a devastating weapon.

 

[Stylo]

How much paperwork is involved if you have to spray/electrocute somebody?

Judging by the prolific use of such devices, I'd wager a lot less paperwork than you'd have if you just kindly rationalized with a person.

Do you need a license to carry around a crossbow?

 

[Remus]

I use to be a security guard like you untill I took a crossbow to the knee?

I am sorry...

You know where the door is.

 

[unozero]

well I passed all the tests and stuff today.
I should have my permit/card in 10 days

 

[mechanicallizard]

Did you get to taze/shoot anyone or get tazed/shot?

 

[Shem]

He had to learn how to ride the greatest form of transportation in a mall: the scooter.

 

[unozero]

nah.but The Company that I'm applying at might have extra training related to that.
The Lady that did the testing also takes care of submitting the paperwork to the State says they have extra qualification for the Baton/Mace and a Firearms permit.
I am told if you have a firearms permit it's really easy to score a Job with big names like Securitas and get paid $25 an hour....but for now I'm just gonna work our local mall so no need for guns or anything like that.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Cool. Try to laugh it off. Getting hurt is fun when it builds character.

Be Walter White.

Yeah, I know, I'm obsessed.

"Sir, you may not like it, but I did what I had to do in the situation as I perceived it. The guy was being reasonable, I was being reasonable, everyone was reasonable. I took that decision! Would you?"

"God damnit, Bob, you are way out of line! You're a loose cannon! I've got Wal-Mart up my ass like a bad rash over your reckless use of peace and consideration! Now stop trying to reason with me and goddamn well taze me!"

 

[unozero]

Got my Guard Card today can't wait for my Interview later this week!!!!!!

$2500 a month...I'm rich bitch! (for my standards anyway.)

 

[15357]

That's quite a lot imo.

 

[unozero]

Well I'm the black sheep of the Family(soon to be replaced by my little sister) and according to their Standards $2500 is barely getting by.
