Since I was hoping for self defense to be g&s and that hasn't happened yet. Has anyone ever heard of a paramedic getting a ccw permit? Much like doctors or pharmacist clause in the law?

There is no "doctors or pharmacist" in the law.
Would you happen to have a prescription pad or drugs to protect when you are not at work?
If you are looking to carry while at work, then the request would have to include a letter of approval from your employer.

No I don't have access off duty but as evident with the recent riots when people get upset the take it out on anyone in uniform not just the police.
Prescription pad doesn't cut it, either. You have to be in possession of narcotics.
nice try though.
A letter from your employer should work

Paramedics do carry controlled meds but the chance of you getting a CCW for that, in my opinion is zero. You won't carry at work, heck Balt. Co. even went so far as to ban Leatherman tools and pocket knives as weapons several years ago.
Better off documenting a few irate patients that threaten you.

the city or county that they work for would have to approve it and thats not going to happen around here
So carrying prescription drugs gets you a permit?
Hey doc.. Can you write me a prescription?

Get your Fire Chief to write you a letter saying you need to be armed. I'm sure that will help in your process.
Even if you were able to get a CCW (I don't think you'd be able to) but then you have policy and restrictions through your employer or volunteer (I'm guessing you aren't paid right?) department to worry about.
Good luck.

That's pretty funny, I imagine quite of few of cc are in possession of narcotics.

If this were Tejas, I could imagine your chief being on board for this.
Alas this is MD and with the brouhaha about the deputy who contributed to the sheriff without taking the training classes and drilled some fugitive in the back with a gun he thought was a Taser, I don't think they will want you to carry.
Besides it looks bad on cell phone videos of returning fire crouched down behind the patient on the stretcher.

Yeah I don't want to carry at work and there is no way they would allow it. I would like to carry on my days off since we come in contact with a lot of shady people.
Ahhhh, so you are going from the police angle excuse. You'll run into a lot of opposition with that reason. Many citizens run into shady people as well. Every single day.

Exactly, wouldn't/don't we all? Sounds like a good headline for Shall Issue. Not that I voluntarily come in contact with lots of shady people.
Meanwhile our state laughs at you, and an organization like the "Federal Reserve Police" probably get to carry (off duty) in all 50 states.
IMO, you're in more danger than a "Federal Reserve Police Officer" who probably has never really done much "Police work" other than stand in front of a big concrete building all day telling out-of-towners they can't take a tour of the building.
Not disrespecting the job, as I'm certainly not doing it.

May wanna go back and look at when the windy city issued shot-guns to be carried on the side of the apparatus. if I recall a few pump operators had been cut down using dimes out a 12 guage... But the maryland gun-laws are working so your safe .. just go ask Frosh

If you could get a permit for being a paramedic and your chief gave you a letter im 99% sure it would be restricted to while at work (but I dont think you could get one for that). So I would see no chance of it being outside of work unless you have another Maryland GS
