I've been a firefighter paramedic for 5 yrs. now and really believe that we should be allowed to carry. I go into some real crappy gang areas and they've been known to shoot at us. Actually I've been shot at a couple times, not fun. Being that its against dept. policy, I don't carry. I know a few guys that do and I also know a few that wear bullet proof vests. If you decide to carry and get caught, be prepared to look for another job. Unfortunately public safety has some negatives, and putting your life on the line is one of them, but we know this going into the field...and I wouldn't do anything else.
