Today we got a little "in the weeds" again about safety, and that is a good thing. Some times current events provide a relevant and recent learning opportunity to drive home more esoteric points. NOLATAC Fi****ms Training and Nolatac Veterans Training Program learning about safety goes a lot further than reciting the safety rules. it requires critical thought and the ability to articulate in many different ways so it connects with all students and meets them where they are in their understanding.
Next cohort begins in January 2022. You can use your GI BILL, Vocation al Rehab, we have a work study program, and cash is king. LOL . For veterans and non veterans alike. Start a fi****ms training business.

1. YES a private business can deny you access without a mask if they choose. Their private property; their rules.

2. NO there is no law in Louisiana that you cannot carry a firearm if wearing a mask. That is not a thing here.

3. LA RS 14:313 DOES NOT apply to this circumstance by both the notion that it is for medical reasons and that the intent is not to conceal your identity. This statute does not apply here.

4. A citation for failure to wear a mask is a violation of the constitution and potentially your civil rights as it pertains to your medical needs and privacy. If you receive a citation contact a qualified attorney and sue the entity that gave it to you.

5. LEO's - YOU TOOK AN OATH. This is wrong to make people wear masks under the penalty of law. Expect resistance. Now is not the time to mess with people over silly things.

My response to this post in Louisiana Bureau of EMS

The answer, like most things, is not that simple.
But... the simple answer is yes.

However FIRST... we need EVERY SINGLE OFFICER to have a windlass TQ on their person and the minimal training required to use it. For that reason, I am in the process of standing up a non-profit to get TQ on every cop in America.. starting in LA.

Also, we need to start teaching BLS / CPR / AED in middle through High school as a life skill.

In schools, churches, corporate America, and any place where people congregate, we also have to change the response paradigm from a outside-in response to an inside-out response. AT MINIMUM, we need the necessary medical supplies, which are not a lot, needed to stop bleeding in these kinds of mass casualty incidents, ON SITE so treatment can start immediately... which works well with teaching the BLS information as part of primary education.

I also believe we need to do a better job of integrating EMS/FIRE into LE responses. The smart way is with small "tac teams" of trained EMS staff that can respond almost like an armed QRF in these kinds of incidents.

Those with the background and training to be armed in EMS, should. I understand the logic of EMS not being armed due to patient concerns, but even a go-bag with a vest and gun in the truck for appropriately identified and trained individuals is a step in the right direction.

Preparation, practice, standardization and community involvement will enable your EMS agency to act quickly and decisively in response to MCIs

WOW. Thanks for the initial support ya'll. I will be posting more info as this project develops, but it is pretty simple.... EVERY COP SHOULD HAVE A WINDLASS TQ ON THEIR DUTY BELT.

We are going to make that happen.

If anyone has experience setting up a non-profit, let me know. We want all money to go to buying TQ and training for LEO. As we grow, we hope to reach out to other groups.
