Who is eligible to receive certification under Act 235?

Individuals eligible to receive certification under Act 235, also known as the Lethal Weapons Training Act, must be employed in specific security positions or related roles. This legislation primarily aims to provide legal guidelines for those who are responsible for the safety and security of others, such as security personnel, corrections officers, and other individuals in similar occupations.

The emphasis on employment in relevant security roles ensures that those who are authorized to carry lethal weapons have received appropriate training and are operating within a framework that considers public safety. The certification process requires candidates to meet particular criteria, including training in the use of lethal weapons, demonstrating proficiency, and understanding the legal responsibilities that come with carrying such weapons in a professional capacity.

The other options do not align with the criteria established in the Act. For example, simply being over the age of 18 does not suffice without the professional context, and civilians wishing to carry firearms for personal use or law enforcement officers solely on their own authority are outside the stipulations of the Act, which specifically targets those in designated professional roles requiring this certification.
