Prosecutors to Carry Guns in Fresno | Fresno News

Fresno County is poised to pass a bold new ordinance letting prosecutors carry guns to work after a senior DA was stabbed — sparking urgent calls from Supervisor Garry Bredefeld and others to protect those on the front lines of justice. With District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp warning that even she can’t legally arm herself on county grounds, advocates argue it’s long overdue to recognize the real dangers prosecutors face — including death threats — as essential public safety workers. While state approval may be slow, local leaders are determined to act fast, pushing the measure to the Board of Supervisors soon.
