Hi Guys....this is Mrs. PCRCCW. I so appreciate your support & kind words! It was a very interesting situation. To clarify a couple of things....I have received an apology from the big bad Security Guard (we had a good laugh), and head of U of U Security. There is no law in Utah that prohibits Concealed Carry in hospitals. Yes the nurses & doctors were nervous because of the incident at the other hospital last year, but HELLO I am the least of their worries. Wouldn't they want us good guys with defensive weapons there if another psycho posed a threat in their hospital? Anyway, there is no law, no signs were posted anywhere (we double checked), and turns out, this was just the personal position of the Administrators of the hospital. Security told me THEY violated the law and my rights, but appreciated me cooperating with them. I didn't do it for them, however, I did it for my Mother!!!!!
By the way, the other funny point, I never yelled at anyone. During this time we were frustrated with the Attending Doctor who took my Mom off all pain meds & sleep aids, putting her in excrutiating pain, and we almost lost her. We understood the Doctors reasoning behind their decision, problem was they didn't explain this to us, or tell us what they were doing until the next morning when the Attending came in with the Security Guard. My father had requested during the night to see the Attending first thing when she got in & we were anxious to see her. I guess they took this as a threat. Oh well, its over, Mom is better and finally back at home.
Thanks again, It's been fun sharing this experience.....Thanks honey!!!
Everyone.....watch your 6, be safe, & God bless!!
