Default I'd make a rotten terrorist

I just got back from visiting a friend in the hospital. While I was driving home I realized I had left my EDC in my pocket the whole time. I was armed and I didn't shoot any innocent people. I didn't terrorize any people in the name of a non-existent government. My friend is well enough to come home and I didn't even shoot him or his wife. I am a rotten terrorist!

Ivan

P.S. I had a shower this morning, so at least I'm not a dirty rotten terrorist!

I think it is called checking security. Or lack of it.

Maybe you are a "lucky" rotten terrorist.

Some states don't allow concealed carry in hospitals.

If Ohio is like some other states carrying firearm into a hospital is illegal.
In which case you're now guilty of a gun crime.
That's a least a start towards becoming a good little terrorist...

You own a firearm. Therefore, to some, you are a terrorist.

First let me state I am absolutely against criminal safe zones.I avoid them as much as possible.But there are reasons why it's illegal to carry a gun into buildings where there may be mentally incompetent people roaming around. Let alone ones that could be there because they've shown a propensity towards violence.

Just something to think about. Hospitals are a little different than retail locations,offices,etc.

I am surprised you read the 4473 form because you obviously didn't read the no guns sign at the hospital entrance. Just kidding.

Whenever I go to a hospital or nursing home I check for no gun signs. It amazes me how often the signs are practically hidden by something. I had gone into a vet office to drop off my dog. I hadn't seen the two no gun signs until my return to get my dog.

I had to laugh thinking gun signs are no protection. Goodness it was a good thing the employees didn't know I was carrying the first time or they would possibly have ran to a kennel filled with big dogs as security from me.

NO SUICIDE VEST FOR YOU!!


Seriously though, you didn't mention if the hospital was posted as no guns allowed or not. I see a bunch of angles to this.

I'm opposed to gun-free zones.

I also strongly favor personal property rights, therefore if somebody doesn't want people to bring guns into their business, people should respect that.

A hospital isn't a normal business, it's not like you can visit your friends or loved ones at the business across the street. It's also filled with defenseless people, so hospitals really shouldn't ban CCWs.

If your hospital was posted as no guns allowed, then I'm going to have to deduct points for lack of tactical awareness, and potentially making all gun owners look bad. It's like how many people show up at airports with their EDC cause "Oops, just forgot".

I think there are a few buildings in D.C. that fit that description....

Not sure I'd post about it — well, I guess I would not — but I think, no harm, no foul.

I think concealed means concealed. Frightening people needlessly is, to my mind, of no value whatsoever.

And, I think, be acutely aware of metal detectors....

Generally in Hospitals those folks are in a locked unit.......... not so much in other buildings that come to mind!!!!!!

That said there are real issues in many ERs late at night on the weekends.

Disputes that don't get settled on the street ....have been known to spill over into an ER.... a lot of ED's now have metal detectors, lock boxes and armed security..........there are some ER's in "The Burgh" I wouldn't go to without a gun!!!!!

My dear wife accidentally carried her gun, knife and pepper spray into a local Social Security office. The security guard seemed to think she looked suspicious because she had a "angry demeanor". He asked if she had any weapons and turned a ghostly white when she answered yes.
He escorted my Mrs. back to her car and made sure she locked everything up. The police were not called because the guard is supposed to ask everyone entering the lobby if they have any weapons, and he blew it!

A San Antonio congressman got popped at the airport security checkpoint with a handgun in his carry on a few years ago. He introduced legislation to change the offense and it was passed a few years ago. Texas Code now reads...

(e-1) It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (a)(5) that the actor:
(1) possessed, at the screening checkpoint for the secured area, a concealed handgun that the actor was licensed to carry under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code; and
(2) exited the screening checkpoint for the secured area immediately upon completion of the required screening processes and notification that the actor possessed the handgun.
(e-2) A peace officer investigating conduct that may constitute an offense under Subsection (a)(5) and that consists only of an actor's possession of a concealed handgun that the actor is licensed to carry under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, may not arrest the actor for the offense unless:
(1) the officer advises the actor of the defense available under Subsection (e-1) and gives the actor an opportunity to exit the screening checkpoint for the secured area; and
(2) the actor does not immediately exit the checkpoint upon completion of the required screening processes.

And if you can't maintain possession of your concealed firearm, maybe you shouldn't be carrying at all. Hmmm...

This is straight up illegal: TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > § 930
I'm glad the guard handled it in the way he did though. That's how things like this should be handled.

That's interesting, but it doesn't matter what Texas code reads. This is a federal crime: 49 CFR 1540.111(a) While there may be a viable and legal defense for such act in Texas state court, there is no such defense in federal court. Two completely different courts.

Hey, there's ways of saying things without being condescending. Lighten up. No one is bragging about getting away with something illegal. These were mistakes.

No condescension intended by me. I was just posting the laws pertaining to what some people said. I don't know how to post something that simple any other way.

It should be obvious to most competent minds that one should usually carry in a hospital. However, when one is going to undress and lose full control of his clothing, it is probably not a good idea to be abandoning a weapon, particularly a loaded gun. Also, don't get a loaded gun anywhere near an MRI machine. Look it up yourself. Meanwhile, DON'T!

I think you are really missing the point. That's like saying, "Prisons don't let plain clothes LEOs carry concealed because the don't know how to retain their weapon".
Hmmm....

I do not listen or adhere to "Gun Safe Zones"...
I carry everywhere....banks, government buildings, airports, etc.

Its a legal risk I take, and I understand the possible consequences....but that decision is mine to make, ..not someone elses.

The person will still not be able to fly that day. That comes under the TSA jurisdiction, not the police. Also, the TSA will assess a pretty hefty civil fine.

I know that because a friend of mine used to use his range back as a carry on. Or the other way around. Once he forgot that he hadn't cleared it out and was stopped at TSA. Fortunately for him, the sheriff's deputy knew him and escorted him back to his truck in lieu of arresting him. He had to drive 16 hours straight through to get to his destination because the TSA said he couldn't fly that day.

About a month later, he got a letter from the TSA with a notice of forfeiture. He was able to negotiate that down from about $5,000.00 to under a thousand and work out a payment schedule.

I think for Christmas I might buy him a real range bag.

That sucks...when I accidentally did the same thing(range bag), they let me put my gun in my truck, they let me fly, and about a month later I got a letter saying that I violated TSA rules, but they felt the warning was enough...

....maybe it was because I am retired military.

I did get to meet quite a few new people that day...lol

No, I get the point. You can't equate a hospital with a prison. In a prison every inmate is looking to take something from you. In a hospital it's rare that you'll meet one of the so called "mentally incompetent" people. And if you did, surely you can keep your gun from one person who's unstable. I re-assert, if you can't deal with that one person, maybe you shouldn't be carrying or maybe that's why you need the gun in the first place.

In fact, I suspect the chances of meeting up with one of these people, who might be an issue, is much higher on a city street.

I think all the hospitals here have metal detectors I believe at all the entrance you can get into the hospital from .. all other doors are emergency exits only and clearly marked ..

Here they would have called the police and you would have had a nice visit with them where they took your weapon and charged you .. no excuse will get you out of it .. forgetting is not a valid reason and then a visit from the State Police asking for your permit which would be revoked .. Here the sign is the law .. there have been a couple of instances in the area where someone entered a no gun zone and their permit was revoked !! 7 cc license from the county I live in have been revoked .. 2 reports have been in the local paper where someone carried in a no gun zone ..

I also strongly favor personal property rights, therefore if somebody doesn't want people to bring guns into their business, people should respect that.

A hospital isn't a normal business, it's not like you can visit your friends or loved ones at the business across the street. It's also filled with defenseless people, so hospitals really shouldn't ban CCWs.

If your hospital was posted as no guns allowed, then I'm going to have to deduct points for lack of tactical awareness, and potentially making all gun owners look bad. It's like how many people show up at airports with their EDC cause "Oops, just forgot".

Looks like you fell off both sides of the fence ..

You state you don't like gun free zones and your next statement is your in favor of them in businesses if the owner wants ..

so what are you really in favor of ?? just curious ..

Edit .. I have heard others say the same thing and have wondered what they really mean because the two statements seem to contradict each other ..

And Chicago is safer because because a "legal" CCW inadvertently carries a handgun into a hospital? Go figure....

If Chicago spent more time trying to get guns away from the unlawful criminal element instead of harassing law-abiding citizens, this may be time better spent and the citizenry would all be better off....

there is no harassment .. its the law .. when you take the Illinois conceal carry course 8 hours is on the law .. no one has an excuse to violate it as its written ..

When you sign your license your saying you will abide by the Illinois Conceal Carry Law !! Hospitals and Doctor offices are restricted and written in the law .. so they don't even have to be posted ..

Yikes....
Nothing like a federal felony charge to start the day off right. Things could've gone a lot worse. I'm glad she got the right guard.

Certainly, I don't disagree......as a law abiding CCW, I take my privilege very seriously and know where I can and cannot legally carry......but people do sometimes make mistakes. I am not condoning someone who purposely chooses to violate the law but I do believe there is a right way and a wrong way to handle each individual situation both by the offender and by enforcement officials.

I was simply venting as I am terribly dismayed every time that I read about the number of shootings resulting in death and injury in the City of Chicago. I travel to Chicago fairly frequently and my permit is not allowed there. If there was any one place that I would be more comfortable by having my firearm accessible, Chicago would be it. I would not even begin to assume that I have an answer to the problems in Chicago, but I wish there was more visibility to work which, I sincerely hope, is being done behind the scenes.....

Be safe out there.....

The problem is whether you carried on purpose disregarding the law or it was truly an accident .. authorities can not tell or not know the difference because in both cases they will say it was accidental ..

so both are prosecuted according to the law with no exceptions ..

The killings in Chicago mostly done by bangers will not change till the people there decide there have been enough children killed and start turning in those responsible to law enforcement .. until that time comes law enforcement will never be able to combat the killings as they are now covered for by the public !!

There is a simple truth here; carrying a gun is a risk. You risk having it taken. You risk carrying it accidentally where it's illegal. For some people it creates back trouble. There's always the risk of negligent discharge while handling a loaded gun (it has to get in the holster somehow). There are probably more, but you get the point.

Personal safety is about managing risk. We would be safe if we locked ourselves in a house made out of 1/4" steel and never left. That's not possible so, we take on some risk when we leave to go out in public. Some carry a gun to help minimize the risk should we be assaulted.

Accidentally carrying into a place where it's illegal is a risk. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Stating that you accidentally carried there is a very weak defense. Most of the time it won't work. How many have received a speeding ticket even though they told the policeman it was unintentional?

I'm glad the OP posted this. It helps us all become more aware. It's a small wake up call to keep us from getting complacent. I'm glad the security guard handled it like he did. On a different day, with a different guard, it may not have ended well.

You don't even realize that you just proved you don't get it.
Good luck to you.

Just something to think about. Hospitals are a little different than retail locations,offices,etc.
I do not intend this to sound insulting. That argument is what I hear around WI and MN all the time. As in all the other cases where honest/sane people are prohibited from being able to defend themselves, if any of "those" people want to do violence they ignore the signs and are a danger to begin with. *I* am not. Yet I am required to make myself vulnerable, like everybody else in the hospital/clinic/facility. It is wrong.
A fact of getting older is that I visit more and more people in hospitals or other care facilities. It is dishonest of the administrations to force me to disarm.

I know a cardio nurse who works at a Milwaukee hospital. A criminal entered with his gun, no surprise, and in the course of things he grabbed a child when he realized the cops were after him. He was chased through the hospital and stopped by gunfire. My friend was told to "shelter in place," AKA "wait to be killed."

In the end, the police were excoriated for DARING to shoot the bad guy in the hospital, putting others in danger. I think there was also some territorial dispute between the police and the sheriff.

And *I* am supposed to wait for them to save me?

The ban in is pointless and stupid. As usual.

You made a statement that people shouldn't carry in a hospital.
I disagreed and explained why.
Your response was, "You missed the point."
I responded by explaining what I thought I understood and why.
You responded, "You don't even realize that you just proved you don't get it."
So I asked you to explain it to me and all you can say is some snarky comment?

Clearly I did indeed miss your point. I thought I understood, but according to you, I don't. So, explain it.
