Is it true that an employee with an unexpired registration card can provide security services if their firearm bearer notation has expired?

An employee with a valid and unexpired registration card is not authorized to provide security services if their firearm bearer notation has expired. The firearm bearer notation is a critical component of their credentials, as it designates their legal authority to carry a firearm while performing security duties. If this notation has lapsed, regardless of the status of the registration card, the employee does not have the legal clearance to carry or use a firearm in the performance of their duties, which could lead to legal repercussions for both the employee and the agency they represent. Therefore, the correct response is that it is not permissible for the employee to engage in providing security services under those circumstances.
