Beyond my background, I have had a personal experience with well versed EMTs when I had a heart attack in a restaurant a number of years ago. Neither my gun nor those of friends was an issue with them - they simply asked me to give my handgun to a friend as it would present problems at the hospital. Yes the police were there, no they didn't disarm anyone - all were very professional and efficient.All decisions on standard operating protocol are derived from past incidents, since as the above links show, and based on our safety the first responder. Because if we are not safe we can't help you, if we are injured we can't help you. We are trying to do a job to serve the public and their beauty and we'll being.
During your "time out" you might consider why you are here and if you wish to continue.
