Generally speaking though, being in a different state from the one you’re licenced in changes you to be a “civilian”, as not all licensure transfers automatically. Depends on the state, and what your license is in.

In the US, you can’t be held liable for making a good-faith effort to render aid; it’s called the Good Samaritan Law.
