The fact that a person is a PI (At least in California) does not give you any privilege to carry a weapon. Assuming the PI is licensed (And in California you need to be licensed by California to practice as a PI). As a licensed PI you can carry a weapon with a CCW permit but you cannot carry or use it while performing any official (PI) business. To do that you would need both the CCW permit and an exposed firearm permit issued by California. CCW permits as a rule are difficult to get and are issued by a Police chief and the Sheriff.

GA requirements could be quit different than CA.

Electrical current passing through the ignitor operates a small heater that ‘warps’ an internal piece of bimetal to open the gas valve. As long as the burner flame continues to heat the ignitor, its electrical resistance remains low enough to keep the valve turned on. If, for any reason, the flame is extinguished, the igniter's resistance increases and the valve turns off the gas to the burner.
While the valves are very reliable, the igniters have become the most common parts failure on these systems.
Watch a clock or stopwatch. If it takes more than 2 minutes to light, you’ll want to replace the ignitor; it’s the culprit in 90% of these. And this is the best way for you to diagnose your ignition system! In most cases, that’s all there is to it. You don’t even have to worry about wire polarity on the new ignitor – they can be wired either way. Just be sure it’s wired like the old one, and not connected to 120V directly, or it will burn out. Ignitor and valve must be in series with each other, or you’ll burn out one or both, fast! Any questions give us a call On-Time Appliance www.on-timeappliance.com
