I work for a local FDmedicff0879 wrote:What he said, but I never remember being taught any procedures on how to handle a CHL in a Cardiac arrest LOL!! Come to think of it, in 8 years of EMS I have actually never encountered such a situation, even when the punks drop off their gangbanger scumbag buddies in the ER I have never cut the pants off anyone and found a weapon. I do ask everytime for that just in case surprise in the pocket, but I am one of few as most nurses never actually think of the potential for a weapon tucked away in a pocket.Sludge wrote:Hey gang…
I am a paramedic here in the Dallas Fort Worth area. What we do in an event we come across a patient that has a weapon varies. If the patient is unconscious, we remove the fire arm (with all the general gun safety procedures), we contact local law enforcement, then we document in the run report, the make, serial number of the weapon, what agency the weapon was given to, the officer, and his badge number. If the patient is conscious, some common sense comes into play. If the person is lawfully carrying for the most part we will let them dictate how they want their weapon secured (friend, family). If not, we will contact LEO and let them decide on how to handle it.
All new recruits are taught gun safety and the proper handling o a firearm.
Sludge, do you happen to work for entity serving Ft. Worth or one of the local FD's? We may have stomped the same ground a few times, I worked for that place in Ft. Worth for about 3 months and moved on LOL!!
I have found 2 weapons on diffrent people that where uncuncious (not where I m at now, this was back in my county ems days). I try to remember to ask the patient if they have anything "Impotant" in their pockets before I grab the trauma shears and start cuting. Only once have I come across a CHL holder who broke a leg. His weapon was securred by his wife before we started patient care.
I think I might know what "place" you worked for and my hats off to you for making it 3 months.
