Not sure if this Falls within the bounds of this bill but I think First Responders namely Medics ought to be able to carry with a license like everyone else. My wife is a first responder for a private Ambulance Company oh, more than once she has found herself taking patients from the hospital or doctor's office or nursing home back to their private residence and having that residence be in a bad part of town. And a few times as she was out late at night in her work vehicle has been approached by Shady looking individuals. Her company policy states she's not allowed to carry Jama and I feel that she should anyway especially when going on some of these Late Night Calls.

My mother was also a medic for many years and while she was a medic in a fairly decent part of town she still came across people who had firearms and we're drunk or otherwise intoxicated and had to call the police to deescalate the situation or take the person into custody. I know of at least one medic that worked with her who is attacked by a man with a sword One Night in his front yard. The attacker was being evaluated because he was high on drugs and drunk and came out in his underwear with a sword swinging it at the medics.
