Hospitals?

[MudCamper]

I keep fire extinguishers in my home, office, and all my vehicles. Does this mean I want a fire? Does this make me paranoid? No. It makes me prepared for the unlikely, but reasonably possible chance of a fire. Carrying a firearm is exactly analogous to this, but with respect to crime, rather than a fire.

This is a common argument that I use with anti-gun people. Frankly, I am surprised that I need to use it here, on a gun forum. It's not the hospital topic specifically, but the fact that so many posters here honestly believe that we don't have the right to carry a gun.

i know right? Because nevermind the armed guards on most trauma floors OR the metal detectors.

I don't know where you live, but I've been to only half a dozen hospitals in my life, and not a single one of then had even an armed security guard.

No - you need to bring your AR into your wife's birthward because "lord knows what might happen"

Obviously I never said anything about an AR. The topic here is about carrying a concealed handgun. Yeah, Grizzly went off on a legaleze tangent about rifles, but I know he wasn't advocating carrying a rifle into a hospital. Let's get back to reality.

Reality is, if a person chooses to carry a handgun for self defense (and he has the legal means, CCW, or lives in a more free state than ours) then he should carry always. What point is there in ever being disarmed? It defies logic. Of course, you believe we don't have that right so it's a moot point.

Im sorry, i might have come across a little differently then i intended.

My primary point, which upon re-reading my posts, was garbled at best, is if you live in CA, then you are subject to CA's CCW / open carry laws.


If you have a CCW - then why even ask here? When you check in with the clerk, alert them to the fact you have a CCW license and you will be noted to be carrying, and be sent on your way.


If you do not have a CA CCW - then regardless of how much you wish to "keep your family and person safe" -- you are breaking the law and because of your actions, YOU are contributing to the anti gun legislation that is running rampant through this state.


That was the point i was trying relate. My apologies again if I came off offensive or antigun. I'm very much pro gun and pro CCW - when done legally.
