I am beginning to think this AED is analogous to my CHL in a way. I want it, but my lawyers aren't too sure. I will need the training. If I need it, I am going to need it RIGHT NOW. My friends, co-workers and family will feel safer for me having it, but wish it wasn't such a pain in the neck. I might have to use it to save a life, but I will pray every day that I never need to use it.

At least I won't be at risk of having to take another persons life to save a life.

I guess I will just have to take the risk, because if the technology is available I could not live with myself for letting fear prevent me from trying to save a life.

1st Training
2nd Legal Advise
3rd Medical Advise
4th Insurance Coverage
5th Budgetary Issues (concurrent with 1-4)
6th Purchase
7th continuing education and training

RE 7: I eventually will be working my way from EMT1 thru Paramedic once my itinerant life/employment re-stabilizes.

Please keep the info coming.
