Welcome to Confessions Of A Security Guard!

Thank you for visiting my blog. I am a security guard working in the state of Texas. I started in 1998, then returned to the field in 2004. Since 2004, I have worked as an armed and unarmed security guard in the Houston area.

I started this blog because I feel there a lot of us who are not properly educated or trained by our employers and forced to learn on our own from experience and by making mistakes. I started this blog for that specific reason. I've written what I consider helpful articles that offer information that can be applied in the right circumstances. 

I've also added videos that can aid beginners in self-defense, and links to other security guard sites that provide related news on our industry. Should there be anything you need information on or would like to see on this site, please let me know.

Don't Be A Victim

 Let's say for the sake of argument that you're a guard without any training. You've got a card, maybe a gun, but that's about it. I've found that many companies in Texas, and in other states don't give their employees the tools to handle themselves in the real world. Not to mention how to apply their classroom training in a real situation. This is unacceptable.

 For those on a budget, or with children, spending a lot of money on courses may not be an option. So, I've decided to locate basic, self-defense techniques that you can use in the field to protect yourself should a person try to overpower you cause you or bodily harm. Also, know your state law on Use Deadly Force. Having a license you carry a gun allows you to shoot a person to protect your life, others, and property.
