Perhaps I didn't make my first post clear. Good Samaritan laws were passed so that doctors would stop and render aid and supposedly not have to fear lawsuits. Now perhaps we need Good Samaritan laws to protect LTC holders in an active shooter situation. Give them immunity from civil and criminal prosecution. To be honest, even with Good Sam laws I don't know if I would rush into possible harms way. My .380 with 6 rounds isn't much. Just being honest.anygunanywhere wrote:I have not been a paramedic since 1996. I was taught that the Good Samaritan laws protects even medical professionals as long as the person acted and performed to the level they have been trained to. Performing acts and procedures one is not trained to do is where people go wrong. Also not performing correctly to one;s training is what gets you in trouble. If you are going to do CPR, do it correctly.Jago668 wrote:This is what I've heard, so who knows how true it is. That our good Samaritan laws don't protect actual medical professionals. So if I stop I'm covered, if a doctor/nurse/paramedic stops they aren't. Which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Those are the people you want to stop and help.rotor wrote:Same argument for why doctors won't stop at the scene of an accident. Isn't that why Good Samaritan laws were started? Need Good Samaritan laws for active shooter situation. Commiefornia will never do it but perhaps Texas would.
The same applies to responding to a shooter. Shooting innocent bystanders is not doing it correctly. Perform to the level you are trained.

Same argument for why doctors won't stop at the scene of an accident. Isn't that why Good Samaritan laws were started? Need Good Samaritan laws for active shooter situation. Commiefornia will never do it but perhaps Texas would.
