What is the minimum age requirement for acquiring an armed PERC?

The minimum age requirement for acquiring an armed Private Security Employee Registration Card (PERC) is 21 years. This regulation is in place to ensure that individuals who are tasked with carrying weapons while performing security duties are mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come with the job. It reflects a commitment to public safety and the need for accountability in individuals who are authorized to carry firearms.

The other age options are lower than the established legal requirement, which is not aligned with the standards set for security professionals who handle firearms. This age restriction helps to ensure that individuals have reached a level of maturity and responsibility that is deemed appropriate for carrying a weapon in a professional capacity.
