My mother in law is very very unhealthy currently and is in the U of U Hospital in SLC, Ut. Those of you who know me or of me........know Im a holster maker. Its just second nature that my wife also carries (and wants belts, holsters, purse repairs..etc.) and is pretty deadly with her little CCW...proud? Sure, I am. 
Anyway....here's what happens.
She's doing an all nighter with her mom and in the process she's helping her mom in bed..rolling her over and etc. Anyway, in the we hours of the morning...3-4 am, a nurse sees her holster/gun..I dont know whether she just printed or flashed the weapon. My wife being very tired is unaware of this happening.
A while later a Doctor taps my wife on the shoulder and ask's her to come into the hall. There are 4 uniformed officers waiting for her. They pull her into a room across the hall and tell her she's been made and try and tell her that she cant carry in a Hospital. She is shocked/humored by the whole thing...she's a great sport. So she tells the officers she "Can carry in a hospital, she's a holster makers wife and knows the UT CCW laws very well! But admittedly, she did get made and will do what they recommend"
They tell her that they prefer she take her weapon and put it in her car. They also want her carrying the ammo in her purse...just in case.
Reluctantly, she agrees...all 4 escort her out of the hospital and 2 all of the way to her car. She puts it away and on the way back into the hospital the only remaining officer tells her 'He's sorry for the inconvenience and he respects her right to carry and wishes more people would!" He knows she really did nothing wrong. She laughs and talks to him. He lives in our town and she gives him one of my cards. Ok..........cool!
She's one of my biggest supports.....yes, Im still proud.
It turns out, during the past evening, her family had been up in arms with the Dr's at this facility because of the lack of care her mom had been getting. My wife is very small, guiet in nature and just mellow. Do to lack of sleep and being pissed at the staff, she had been yelling at Dr's previous to getting made. Now this is starting to come together....................hmmm.
Now for the best part....... The next morning..I was there and every Dr. that came in had a Security Guard with them.......Terrified of my cute little gun toting wife.......Ba ha ha.
Sorry, but you'ld have to know her to really appreciate this.
I called and talked with a very congenial Lt. at the U of U Police and he agreed that what happened was just a bunch of Medical Dimwits being paranoid and over reacting. But concealed is concealed! She admits she got made and will take her lumps. In talking with him, I find out this Lt. is a friend of their family for 20 years. So I told him who the "alleged threatening person" was....he almost fell out of his chair laughing. They were scared of her?????????
Oh well........life goes on!
Oh BTW, by some ironic accident, the next morning when I was up there.....I had 3 guns on me. Damn, how did that happen?
Take it easy and shoot well....................Eric
