RICHMOND, Va. (WSET) -- A bill that would allow firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics, who are former law enforcement officers or veterans, to carry a concealed firearm has passed the Senate and will head to the House.

The Washington Post reported that the bill is sponsored by Sen. Amanda Chase, the mother of an EMT and narrowly passed with a 21-19 vote.

Sen. Chase is known for being armed on the Senate floor.

SB 1012 would require emergency personnel to get a concealed-carry permit as well as permission from their chief.
