No Carry....

[Jack Ryan]

I now work at one, Jack.

I know all of what I said to be absolute truth, at least for my place of business.

Not sure about others, but unless they let employees and staff carry, they're not any safer than this one.

T.V. makes them look more drama-filled, but just this week we've had a couple guys come in who were in cuffs as well.

Whoopidodah, had a couple jail birds in the room across the hall off and on for about the past three months while my dad was in and out of the hospital. Sherrif department employee sitting in the doorway 24 hours a day the whole time there were there. Probably was the least dangerous person in the hospital.

So long as you are not under a doctor's care a hospital is a pretty safe place.

Jack I carried during my wedding. Does that make me

I coudn't say.

You should know your friends, family and future in laws better than I do. IF you think you need a gun around them that's up to you.

Hospitals are, statistically, one of the most unsafe places in the world to be.

No kidding! Do you know how high the fatality rate is at hospitals!?

Had to go to Tech H.S. last night, so no carry there.

I'm sorry to hear that... I was there for track meets in HS...

don't NC in Lafayette Square mall though.

If the person is in custody then they are less dangerous. But lots of people come in the ER that are drunk, high on who-knows-what, or just plain "crazy". Some of these people come in with fake pain to get narcs to sell on the street to finance their life. If the doctor doesn't give them what they want, they will leave and come back, again and again. Eventually they are at a breaking point. A guy went to Sullivan Co. ER a few years ago with a shotgun, he ended up shooting himself and not staff, but he could have shot staff. We had a man with a gun chase one of the doctors in Paoli a few years ago too.
People are crazy.

with a LTCH i wonder if they would let you keep it in your hospital room with you?

Hospitals are, statistically, one of the most unsafe places in the world to be.

In 2005, there were 12,352 homicides involving guns. "Accidental" deaths caused by Physicians per year, 120,000 on average.

Just something to think about.

 

[riverman67]

yeah, I need a pocket pistol.

I've had a Charter Arms undercover for about 3 years
It goes bang every time and it's really cheap
I'd probably go with an LCR now

To quote Les Nessman (WKRP in Cincinnati):

"Often when someone dies, the last person they see is a doctor. Think about it."

I carry to work. But when I walk in, I keep my gun in my toolbox in the corner. I work in a machine shop, so it's one of those large machinist tool boxes with a stationary cart. Whenever I have to run an errand, deliver parts, or anything like that, I always grab my gun and holster. It's the fobus paddle holster, so really easy to take it on and off. I just don't want to take the chance on damaging the gun or myself while I'm working. I'm either running a press, mill, lathe or just doing something really nasty. And I'm constantly walking back and forth, crouching, bending down to pick up parts and such. So it's just more convenient to not carry while AT work.

I could if I really wanted to though. My boss, my father, actually carries his to work, but leaves his gun in his office.

 

[matrxx]

I was going to say that too

You maybe wrong.

Get a Lcp and make a wish that you can find ammo. With a little practice this small pistol will go with you anywhere and is a real good shooter
