Fire Services Firearms/Carry Laws Public Safety and Courts Todd Edwards
This legislation would allow fire fighters to carry weapons while on duty with the permission of the "local fire department." The firefighters could conceal or openly carry the weapons.  If this bill progresses, and for a variety of reasons (e.g. insurance, liability and possible civil rights infractions which would end up putting counties in Federal court), the decision as to whether firefighters pack heat needs to be made by the local governing authority.      
Green background on status indicates a bill has been acted on the last recorded legislative day.
