Are there any sites, postings, books, etc that discuss handling of firearms that may be found or carried during a response to a Medical Emergency or Accident? (Civilian side)
If I'm OC/CC and involved in a TA what actions should I take? What actions can I expect a LEO/EMT/Paramedic to take when I'm carrying? Understand the steps/requirements may be different when I have only minor injuries vs. serious injuries or unconscious. Also what about transport via ambulance?
If I stop to help at a TA and one of the victims is OC/CC, what actions should be taken? Conscious and able to give consent? Unconscious? Legal issues? (Concealed legally vs illegally)
I know in the Military we talk about this. I ensured my Medical crew on my ship went through training with our GM's on how to "safe" various weapons even those we did not normally carry. Also had an SOP on how and when to secure a weapon, and also who/when to turn it over. We had Medical personnel on boarding/security teams, and this was all part of our training. We were qualified at least in 9mm/Shotgun at a minimum. Not sure how we would deal with it on the civilian side.
As more and more people OC/CC I see this interaction becoming more common.
Appreciate all thoughts!
Thanks!
