What weapons are you certified in to carry.

[DT4EMS]

Since I am a full-time police officer I carry:

Glock .40 on and off-duty.

Def-Tec OC on duty. ASP Key defender on key chain off-duty

MEB on duty (department prefers Manodnock) ASP in all of my vehicles.

(I'm an ASP Instructor )

Benchmade 550 on duty. (I'm a tactical folding knife instructor)

Emerson Karambit off-duty. We practice FMA Kali-Silat in my martial arts school.

I stopped carrying a firearm on the ambulance years ago.

But on an ambulance I alway had a "rescue" knife (one of the ones listed above)

and a pair of trauma shears. Look up the karambit on the web and look at it's shape. Look how similar it is to the trauma shears.

For a side note: I never had to shoot or stab anyone on the ambulance. I have used physical force to defend myself (justifiable).

Slingshot

Syringe full of air

AED with a hacked chip that shocks only when it shouldn't

I am a flight officer / paramedic, so when I fly I carry a .40 cal and Asp baton on me. When I am working the road I also carry OC spray, AR-15 rifle and 12 gauge shotgun.

you lucky bastard. I like the AR-15 a lot, but they're illegal for us lowly civlilans in this damn state. :-P

I suppose I could get a fab-10.. at 3x the price and half the function.

You can get a California legal AR-15!!!!

Yeah, like the FAB-10? Meh, those things are lame. I don't want a neutered Kalifornia-only version. :-( They're also waaay to expensive for what you get.

But, there are other perfectly legal ways around it, which I'm working on right now - with the DOJ approval.

Yeah, they are issued to us by our agency.

A FAB-10?! Or an actual Colt or Rock River Arms AR-15 with a full capacity detachable magazine?

(none of this "high-capacity" mag nonsense since it's only California (maybe DC too) that limits them like that)

[Guest CHP medic]

We are issued the Colt AR-15, semi-auto only of course.

That's what I thought. LEOs get all the fun toys!

You have to admit that some of those flash grenade things would add some spice to any paintball game...

Oh, hey, here's one for you. When driving to & from the range with a Glock 22. The Glock cases have nowhere to hitch a padlock to, so I've been using *two* of the cable/trigger locks. One through the firearm itself (clips & ammo are in a separate box) and the other is wrapped around the handle of the case. Both are locked.

Being a CHP officer, would you consider that to be an adequate solution, or should I get a better case that I can padlock?

[Guest CHP medic]

Not sure about Texas law, but that would be fine in CA. I'm sure the Texas laws are not as strict as ours, CA is not very gun friendly.
