Wouldn't be much use, if it wasn't. This is akin to calling a razor blade "sharp".

My wife was just in having wrist surgery at an outpatient place. The only gun-oriented site I could access was The High Road, and I suspect that was true because nothing gun-related is in the name so it made it past the filters.

Maybe some future gun sites will do something similar to fool the filters.

If you don't like the free wifi, don't use it, plain and simple.
It ain't free. True pubic wi-fi like the kind that's available at the airport, sure. However, if one is a patient in a hospital, it ain't free. Not the wi-fi, that $10 chunk of jello, or that $15 capsule of Tylenol.

Unless it requires verification and is billed, it's free. Now sure, somewhere down the line, that bill is getting paid by people who are paying hospital bills, so it's not "free"... but the same can be said about literally every single item in every single business/organization in the world. That chair you sit in at a restaurant isn't "free" either, it's part of the overhead... but that's being a tad pedantic.

My children’s doctors office had a questionnaire that asked if there are firearms in the home with my kids living there. Long story short, I upset the calmliness of that office when I asked very loudly what in the blue hell does that have to do with their healthcare. We don’t use that doctor now!
