Va. Senate passes bill to allow firefighters, EMTs to conceal-carry

RICHMOND, Va. (WSET) -- A bill that would allow firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics, who are former law enforcement officers or veterans, to carry a concealed firearm has passed the Senate and will head to the House.

The Washington Post reported that the bill is sponsored by Sen. Amanda Chase, the mother of an EMT and narrowly passed with a 21-19 vote.

Sen. Chase is known for being armed on the Senate floor.

SB 1012 would require emergency personnel to get a concealed-carry permit as well as permission from their chief.

I wish that the people's republic of Maryland would allow veterans to carry concealed. Regardless of being an EMT.

Yep, that's the democrats plan. Arm even more government employees while denying the citizens 2nd amendment rights. The goal couldn't be more obvious. Disarm America, and only let the government have the guns. Scary, isn't it? Our founding fathers thought so too. It's why they put it in there (the constitution) so that the government would always have to answer to the people. The Democrat Party is the party of tyranny. And your neighbor that votes democrat, he is the enemy of your freedom guaranteed in the constitution. Gleefully so. In today's political climate and the democrat assault on our constitutional rights, I don't trust anyone who votes democrat, and I wouldn't have one for a friend.
