But a lot of the bedside staff will call security if they suspect you are carrying.Gotcha!
In other words, concealed means concealed, right?

Unless they have a secure prisoner cell/room/wing that is locked down, then it’s part of the jail so the whole building is off limits. So no. An actual no-go.Gotcha!

Because they see it a lot, hospital rooms are small and not much room to move around. Many of them carry when not at work and know what to look for. Lots of sketchy types visit our patients, bring the, drugs, etc. and there have been incidents and most have low threshold to call security.Why would they suspect me, if I am carrying concealed, (and know what I'm doing?)
Do they suspect everyone?
More so now than before. people are angry and right on the edge. They explode over anything, and our officers are a lot more wary and attentive, as are most staff.Because they see it a lot, hospital rooms are small and not much room to move around.

If you ever spent 12 hours working in a hospital, wearing scrubs and PPE, and saw the number of low lifes that think they own the place you would be extra careful to see who may be armed.

I would suspect you would find this true at any of the larger tertiary referral hospitals.Is this hospital different than other hospitals somehow? Is it part of one of the big hospital networks? IU Health?

With all due respect, I don’t know you and I apologize if I am wrong, but this is the tone I get from your posts in this thread. One of the problems I see with some gun owners in the eyes of many in the public is when some insist that their right to be armed extends everywhere even when politely asked not to enter certain places armed. It ends up undermining all who carry responsibly. There is more to doing the right thing than following the letter of the law and anyone has the right to ask and if necessary demand you do not enter their workplace armed. When you work 60+ hours a week in a place that places extraordinary stress on both staff and visitors you do not want persons who are under stress and unknown to you carrying.
Responsible gun owners do one of two things when asked not to carry somewhere. Don’t carry or don’t go in.

Holy crap.REPORTED! Language!

Go back a bit in time there?
So when I electronically sign all those documents I am unable to read on the small screen as I check in for a blood test does that count as my warning?We have had this discussion several times here on the INGO. As I recall, we had at least one lawyer opine that it is quite possible that with sufficient wording and prominence of said signage, you might be able to be arrested for trespassing without any verbal warning for carrying a gun in spite of the sign. I think they said, it has not been tested in Indiana to their knowledge.
Unless the hospital has a section for people involved in crime (like a "prisoner ward" for lack of a better term...
