Private Security Firms

What are the best/most dangerous security guard jobs?

I will be joining the army soon as an infantryman for a few years but when i retire i was thinking of being a security guard. Not the kind of security guard that stands around at a k-mart all day armed with pepper spray, im talking about the kind that i will be armed with like a machine gun that will shoot anyone who shouldn't be in the area, its not because i wanna kill someone but because i want a special security job where i have to be alert and on my feet, ready for anything. That's if there is any jobs like that.

1. Never in your security industry career will you get the opportunity to hold a machine gun.. Its very rare these days that any sort of security guard is in possession of any sort of firearm, let alone a machine gun.. No offense, but this is a very silly and unrealistic question.. There are a couple of security jobs out there where you are fully entitled to be in possession of a gun, the most common being cash escort jobs.. Years ago, static guards or guards doing mobile patrols could carry guns permitted they are fully licensed. But it is very rare these days where a gun is used in the security industry, apart from cash in transit jobs... I dont know the full policy of it.. I'd talk to someone high up in the security industry to get full details..
