Medical emergency while carrying?

[Bad Monkey]

Question came up while talking to someone. Does anyone know how medical emergencies, car accident, heart attack or something, are handled when someone is carrying?

Depends on who is the patient and who is responding.

Generally if an ambulance to you, most likely they will have an officer take possession of the firearm.

I say this having worked with a major SEMI Ambulance service

From that thread:

I sent a question the Michigan State Police, not knowing who else to ask about what happens to my CPL gun if I am in a emergency and taken to the hospital. This is the answer:

Which the sender, got this in reply:

Good morning Mr. Gerring,

Every hospital and emergency response team has a policy regarding guns they encounter while aiding sick and injured persons. While their main concern will be to care of you, a weapon that is found is very serious and the weapon will frequently be turned over to the local police department for safekeeping.

Thank you for your question and if you have further questions please let me know.
