Metal detectors at Riley Hospital

[bwframe]

No offense officers, but does this advertised no gun zone apply to you also?

 

[yeahbaby]

Probably Chicago, Luries, University of Chicago, LaRabida. I'll take my chances with Riley rather than travel to Chicago.

This.

One of my coworkers was just there a couple days ago after her daughter ate a bunch of small magnets. I'm pretty sure she didn't care that she had to leave her sidearm in the car.

Didn't care? Or, she was willing to make a hard choice base on the alternatives? There's a huge difference between willing to make a hard choice and "didn't care."

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to rhino again.

And non of those have metal detectors. I’ve been to all of them in the last 8 weeks.

What do you mean, "I"???? You're a COP. You can carry anywhere. No matter what kind of "Gun Control" they pass, you'll be exempt. I know all about Riley. I was a patient there in the early seventies. My Dad carried there.......

Spent some time there 2 years ago with my granddaughter. Outstanding care and staff. Hope to never need their services again. Hate the idea of disarming, but wouldn't hesitate to do so , if the need for their level of care ever happened again.

My recollection is it applies to off duty officers.

Best at what?

Isn't any officer with a badge and sidearm "on duty"?

No. "On Duty" means paid.

 

[bwframe]

No. "On Duty" means paid.

How would hospital security know whether you are being paid or not? They're gonna let you through armed, aren't they?

"Professional courtesy?"

I don't like the idea of having to be disarmed but I suppose they're doing what they believe they have to do to increase security. This is the types of measures many folks including gun folks were calling for at our schools after Parkland. Like others have said, if/when a relative of mine needs serious/specialty healthcare, I'm going where the best care is regardless of their gun policies. I can go to a different restaurant or store but I'll leave my gun in my truck to make sure my loved ones are well taken care of.

Well, I don't know many officers that just walk around, off-duty, with the badge clipped to their belt and OC'ing.

Don't you just show them the secret handshake?

All the ones I know on the west coast do. They would never pass up a chance for free donuts and coffee.

That's not really relevant.

Assuming you carry off duty and you carry LEO ID, would you not use that to carry wherever it would be allowed with your credentials?

You'd be surprised how many LEOs don't carry off-duty.

Again, not relevant.

Still doesn't answer the question.

I don't believe that. Not that you or anyone else GAS.
