Few questions for you all. Tonight we went over concealed guns on medical scenes. We were told if possible, to remove the gun from the person and preferably hand it over to the LEO. I can see this if the person is unconscious and no other relative is available. Our local hospital states there are to be no weapons on premises. My question was about conscious persons. They claimed to remove the gun which I do agree with but I think there could potentially be some problems with this. My reasons were turning a person hostile and the legalities without LEO being on scene. I feel a person that conceal carries is not one that is going to easily give their gun up if you were to reach for it, especially with a decreased level of consciousness (I wouldn't blame the person for this either for this is what they were trained to do).
If you were in a medical situation, would you give your gun up to EMS (including firefighters, first responders), have the gun given to a relative, or ask for an LEO if a relative was unavailable? How would you handle a situation if EMS reached for your gun to remove it? What are the laws concerning EMS removing and handling a gun, whether it's Missouri or another state? These were some of the questions that came up that more less became curiosity after wards.
