I have a question do paramedics carry small hand guns as in a situation of a shooting

[@OperatorGrim]

No, the police call Code 4 which means the scene is clear, and the EMT/Paramedic is supposed to wear a small vest

[@DrCanadianGamer]

Where i am we have 1 paramedic per truck that carries a firearm usually a bodyguard 380 or glock 19 and dog spray that is mainly used for aggressive animals

[@bouffant-girl]

Officially, ems and fire rescue personnel are not legally allowed to carry firearms, unless they work in a direct tactical support with a law enforcement SWAT team. This is because most Ems and fire rescue personnel are not sworn law enforcement officers! Unofficially, some Ems and fire rescue personnel may have personnel concealed permits and may choose to concealed carry their handgun on the job!
