Early this morning I was in the main office of a city fire department in a very large and very well known location in Southern California. I was waiting to transport a fire truck back to the distributor for warranty repair work and I was inside and standing by the open door of a room. Inside were a Fire Captain, a few high ranking officers and a couple of people in plain clothes. They were having a very serious discussion about what type of weapons they were going to acquire, who was going to be authorized to carry them, rules of force, etc. I couldn't believe it, I mean I've been used to seeing ARs and shotguns in LE vehicles but now fire trucks too? And firemen responding to fires with Glocks on their belts? It's like what is this society coming to. Are other departments in other cities doing the same?
