You know, I have learned a lot on this thread. Read it from first to last. I have always left my gun at home or lacked in the car and hidden if I was going into a hospital. I am thinking now that I will keep it with me, just carefully concealed. BTW--I left it home because I was concerned that in a hospital the security might be a little tighter than at other places and I didn't want a confrontation. But I am re-thinking that now. If I have a right then I am going to enjoy it! I'll just be careful. Thanks for sharing this story, Titanium. And I also want to know how your boy is doing.
