Agreed

This should get interesting

Don't think this is good, seems like this memo really clears up any wiggle room on permits but that could be bad for the average guy trying to get one. Also, and know some will not like this, I don't think firefighters or EMTs should be a part of a special class who gets permits. These professionals show up to help people primarily, not to apprehend or investigate. Let's face it, people don't have a grudge against them like the police. I efinatkey think its a bad idea for EMT/fire to carry on duty.

I'll take it further, I and other teachers I know have been threatened by students and parents more than someone would think. Never enough to have a police report, but enough to raise concern. There have been "school shootings" all over the news, school board meetings have been interrupted by gunmen, so doesn't that mean teaching should be a profession qualifying for a permit?

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to stop anyone who is qualified to get a permit from getting one, if fire and EMT can do it great.....but I'd rather see us all have the same chance and the same process and the same rights.

Ok, I'm done. Sorry for the mini rant.

How do you figure? I didn't really see anything different than it's ever been with regards to mil/govvies?

My two cents: I think this is a small "feel good" broadening. I predict it won't be stretched at all in 90 days. As for "the rest of us" - more of the same old nothing.

I see "Assumed Risk Position" defined in the document, but I don't see it mentioned anywhere else...specifically if it would have restrictions...?

Typically no restrictions or off duty only restrictions for assumed risk positions. These would be folks like prosecutors, judges, corrections officers, etc.

This is a good sign. The "categories" they actively recognize is expanding. This is due to appeals and people pushing the envelope. It may not be the finish line, but it is movement in a productive direction. We cannot get policy and SOP changed without applications, reviews and appeals.

Looks like I need to find a training class! Thanks for posting

I agree Fireman/EMS shouldn't carry on duty. However, when we are off duty is when we are most vulnerable. Simply put, people call the fire department when they are having an emergency and if the situation doesn't turn out the way they think it should have due to ignorance they can hold a grudge. Also, 95% of people think of fireman as being different than police. But there is the other 5% that look at us with the same hateful eyes that they see police with.

As I have said I truly believe that anyone who is not restricted from firearm ownership should be able to CCW.
