Carry and getting rushed to the hospital?

[209]

I had to be sent to the ER twice due to MVAs. Both times, the police officer on scene took my gun for me. Heck, one of those times the ambulance crews wouldn't even put me in the ambulance until I was disarmed. They cited a "no gun in the ambulance" policy.

But, I've also gone to the ER by POV before and carried into the treatment room. The doctor and nurse that worked on me were actually rather uninterested in the whole gun on the belt thing.

In Illannoy, (since CCW is illegal) we have a small two gun safe in the security office of the hospital I used to work at (in security). If a police officer came to the hospital armed, we would clear it in front of them, and fill out a custody card. Then we would bring the gun to the safe, lock it with one of our keys, and then place the key for the safe in their patient belongings envelope that stayed with cash etc in yet another safe.

Upon being discharged (or family member of the officer coming to pick it up) we would take the weapons custody card, have the officer sign it, and reverse the process.

If the weapon came in on a patient that was not a police officer, we would confiscate the weapon and destroy it ourselves. (we never confiscated a gun in the 7 years I worked in security) Narcotics we flushed down the toilet.

Unless the patient threatened us with the knife, we never turned the weapon or contraband into the police.
