You can use your D license as long as you are still acting as a security guard in the second job. You probably shouldn't use the badge, though. You don't need a concealed weapons permit for handcuffs or pepper spray, just for mace. You need to thoroughly review the laws regarding weapons and self-defense in Florida. They are complicated and too long to cover here. There are a couple of good books on it at Amazon.
