That's one thing people forget, and those who are truly for the legal ability to carry and own keep pushing at: a firearm is a last resort. Even for the military in times of war with the least restrictive ROE/EOF policies that holds true (although that last resort is immediately utilized when facing an armed enemy). The whole "oh you can use it whenever" bs is the stereotype that anti-gun advocates claim, and it's as incorrect as stating that spoons make people fat.
Anyway civilian side I've worked in some bad areas, and the phrase "I'm not a cop, I'm a paramedic (since a lot of idiots don't know what an EMT is, all they know is it's 3 letters) has defused every bad situation outside of the rig. I wouldn't want to use a firearm inside a moving rig anyway, it would either go through the side and injure someone else or ricochet and hit me or the driver. If you want protection, a taser would be much more effective and safe.
