There are lots of different kinds of seizures.

Maybe someone who is armed at all times, including at home, as some on this very forum profess to be?

I was wondering that same thing as Baldeagle, but then here I sit with mine on my hip wondering if my wife would think to remove it if something similar happened to me before the EMTs arrived. It might not be at the forefront or her concerns.

I would not be surprised if the man was no-billed by a grand jury or acquitted if it makes it to trial. He was obviously confused having just come out of a seizure and could have thought the fireman was an intruder without fully recognizing him as a fireman/EMT.

IIRC, back when I was in the Navy, a man could not be held responsible for his actions within something like the first 10-15 seconds of being awakened. Not from when he woke on his own, but if he was awakened by someone. Also, IIRC, this arose because of people being startled when roused from sleep and swinging out at whatever. A tragic incident to be sure, but barring any other circumstances, I would not be surprised if he was acquitted or no-billed.
