Prosecutors Now Allowed to Carry | Fresno News

Fresno’s city attorney just flipped a safety switch: prosecutors and investigators with concealed carry licenses can now legally bring guns to work. Triggered by a brutal stabbing last week near Courthouse Park that left a prosecutor injured, the move aims to protect legal professionals who’ve long been seen as sitting ducks—easy targets because they don’t carry weapons. With district attorney Lisa Smittcamp and sheriff John Zanoni pushing for broader county-wide security reforms, including a new ordinance to expand concealed carry rights for employees, this isn’t just about policy—it’s about survival in a city where safety has become a daily concern. Janz won’t reveal how many staff are licensed, wisely avoiding tipping off criminals while quietly hoping this time, change sticks.
