No Guns In Hospital ?

[T.Lex]

Hough - you want to take that one? Or should we wait for Kirk?

Please, no!

That’s not “carrying the weight of law”. If your going into ER (As patient / unplanned) they can only confiscate for return. either way that’s not carrying the weight of law.
Trespass only comes into play after they demand you leave, if your the ER patient... that’s an interesting legal position - to turn away an emergency due to a dress code policy.

When DoggyMama shattered her ankle, I took her to Methodist and had to go back to my car to put my gun away. Then I had to go back to put my holster away. Then I had to go back to put my pocket knife away. And it's more than a dress code policy. It's the same as carrying weapons into a federal facility, or the post office, etc..

Dear god please do not wait for Kirk. I've had about all the "Myeee ryeeeeets", "Inshallah" and unexplained acronyms that I can stomach for one day.

It's neither ambiguous, nor lucrative enough for me. You or Kirk can take it.

...or perhaps we have a volunteer for a test case.

To save us all from re-hashing the "signs carry the weight of law argument."

Hospital carry?

Any reason it's illegal?

At least I think that's the right one.

After recently seeing the no guns at our hospital sign, I'm now pondering.

Has anyone ever been Trespassed by an Indiana hospital as result of violating this policy and did it result in the hospital refusing to render future service to said person no matter how dire the circumstance?

I saw one of those "no guns" signs once, but it must have been broken. I walked right on in no problem.

I thought it was only for Beretta 92's? That is what I see on the signs. I'm good to go as I don't own one of those.

Our hospital occasionally receives an armed patient, security is called, the weapon is secured and receipted and returned when the patient leaves.

I believe that all hospitals are required to provide stabilizing care in an emergency before they can send that patient away so I'm guessing a trespass order would be tough to enforce.

Wouldn't it be easier to just tell the first person you see that you have a gun? That way you can be sure to follow the rules.

You're also usually naked. You get a completely different reaction than the rest of us...

Where does he keep the gun? After second thought I don't wanna know!

Depends on the hospital. Methodist and Eskanazi have criminal detention facilities in their ER along with metal detectors, so for those two, the signs do actually carry the weight of law.

Also Psychiatric Wards in some hospitals. One near us has this issue.

I use something like this for those sunbathing days.


I do use a smaller gun, because I wrap the chain around something else. So it needs to be smaller for reasons.

Big difference between patient / ER and visitor in these terms. And the fact you COULD go back to disarm is fact that it’s not “carry weight of law” unless asked to leave due to trespass. (Hence the security before you get in)

I didnt mind too much, especially given that I was very well aware I was in no condition to effectively use it.
