Thoughts?
Job security?
Hero complex?
Conflicted?

Seems like the first person you’d want to respond to an active shooting was someone who could shoot back AND stop the bleeding. When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. However, if there had been a “Certified Unstable Sociopath” and that gun, I wouldn’t have bothered to even stop and snap the picture.

What are you perplexed about?

To me, it just seems paramedics save lives and the AR-15 takes lives. Just strange to me to see both, side by side. What is your take on it?

I am retired USAF Security Forces.
Carried a gun for 20+ years, and have been certified in emergency medical for most of that time.
You save lives where you can,
You shoot bad guys when you have to.
A lot of soldiers and police among others carry guns, but also are trained in emergency medical.
Same premise.
Is good to know how to do both.
The world probably won’t get any nicer.

I want to thank you for your service. I appreciate your point of view. For a civilian like me, the default is to see an AF-15 symbol and immediately think of killers who shoot up schools. Thus, my perception of these two symbols together seems paradoxical, but I can see it from a new angle now. Thank you.

You are welcome on both.
From a background in security, anti-terrorism, and having been on the world stage; I would learn to do both if I were you. A little prepping for the just in cases cannot hurt.

Thank you. I will. I am interested in cyber security. I may pursue that after I retire from teaching. 🙂

Both are used to save lives and both can be present when life is taken. They are related to the preciousness of life.❤

That is an incredibly positive take in those stickers!

Yes it is. If I do not stay positive, the hate darkens. My daddy was a Marine and he saved lives with his weapons and thankfully never took one. The moral character and skill of the bearer of the gun and the skill of the paramedic heal or lose lives. Life is always sacred.❤

It’s definitely looks like a glaring contradiction to me. I can’t help but think the paramedic sticker is fake, as in the owner of the car is not actually a paramedic.
