So what if it is an MVA and police can't come because there is a holdup? What if it is a bad one and you need to airlift a person. What I was thinking was something small and easy to get to nothing like a gun.
What if each ambulance has a weapon of some sort. What if the Law Enforcement can't get there and we have to rely on our instincts? What if you aren't near the ambulance and have no way to get back. There are a million things could go wrong.
I was wondering if EMT's should be armed. There are lunatics out there wanting to end our lives. Should EMTS be armed or wait to have law enforcement come?
