Carrying at the doctor's office

I think the main part of your question was answered, but for future reference when having an allergic reaction, Benadryl helps a lot with the hives/itching/swelling, etc. I take it as soon as I get stung or have any kind of allergic reaction. It can literally be life saving. I carry it with me at all times in the summer when the stinging insects are active.

Usually the Maxpedition bag goes to the doc with me if I know I'm goin g. If I didn't know I was going, they need to be prepared to see steel strapped to my carcass.

Similar situation for me yesterday. Fighting a sinus infection for a week and decided it was time to get meds. Went to Walgreens and the cute little nurse practitioner checked me out. Had I need to remove my shirt, I wouldnt have worried. Its not like I mexican carry. Its a gun, safely and legally carried in a proper holster, so if she has a problem, its HER problem. (not mine)

Im sure she saw the bulge through my polo as she checked out my lungs but didnt say anything.

Unless its illegal to possess where you are, or you should expect to be incapacitated due to the condition or treatment, I wouldnt worry about it.

I always bring a jacket / fleece with me (even in dead summer). At some point, I'll take the entire holster off and place the holstered weapon in the jacket. Not very elegant, but this has worked for me for years.

I keep a couple of Benadryl in the vehicle first aid kit. It has come in handy on several occassions.

Parkview Medical Center in Ft. Wayne has signs on all offices and centers........No firearms or knives allowed. My doctor has no problem with firearms but he said that Parkview had considerable trouble at their North campus with a belligerent carry person: result a no firearms policy. This is a big deal as Parkview 'owns' almost all of the medical serves in the area.

Taken at face value, it looks like someone spoiled it for all of us.

Pocket carry like I did for x rays and cortisone injections into my knees this morning.
