Some protection for the Ambo's would almost certainly help them feel safer and I wouldn't be against them carrying something. Having said that though, I'm sure if they wanted to carry weapons, they would have joined the police and not the ambulance service.
We (police) will always get to an ambo as quick as we can if they call for back up - just the same as another police unit calling for backup really but they are a lot more vulnerable to any violence dished out which is unfortunate.
