“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Should EMTs Be Permitted To Carry Concealed Firearms?

by Doris Wise Montrose on February 21, 2021

Yes.

Emergency Medical Technicians answer a lot of calls that have little to no risk at all. They roll up to a house in a nice neighborhood to check out someone feeling a little lightheaded or something, then possibly load them up on the ambulance and take them to the hospital. Even if the call is a bit more intense, there’s not a lot of risks.

Yet sometimes, that’s not the case. They roll up to a call in a completely different situation. They might find people who wish them harm, perhaps for the drugs they think might be on the ambulance or for some other reason.

This has led to some discussion in EMT circles about whether they should be able to carry concealed firearms. A poll seems to suggest the majority are OK with people carrying. However, let’s just say that some other people have some rather bizarre ideas about the topic.

"All too many of the other great tragedies of history—Stalin’s atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few—were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ... If a few hundred Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful of weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars." — Silveira v Lockyer, (9th Cir. 2003) (Kozinski, J. dissenting.)
