As far as I know you can't bring firearms into any Houston hospital. I know there's a sticker right here on the door here at St. Josephs hospital in downtown saying so. Of course, noone's checking bags either.

I've been thinking about this for awhile. The problems with shooting someone, in our facist state, really makes me want an alternative, and, as discussed else where, dog attacks, etc. when out for walks or runs, are a problem.

I think I've really got to spend some money at this guys store.

He's got some very intresting containers for personal defense. I like the pen with pepper spray in particular, and, his combo pack, one for the keys, one for jogging, and a larger one.

Probably all illegal in this county and state...

I love Nevada!

I can not carry in goverment buildings and schools....that is about it. Anywhere else, all they can do is ask me to leave. I carry everywhere except the places that would put me behind bars. I do not mind being asked to leave and I would leave when I was asked.

I carry in Casinos all of the time, yes there are signs. Even with all of that surveilence, I have never been made.

I had to do jury duty at the beginning of the year. Downtown Vegas, (where the homeless come out to play) underground parking, metal detectors, the whole shibang. I brought my Surefire 6P for a week straight. Everytime the security guards looked at it....looked at me, and shook their heads. They knew what it was and what it was for. They knew that it was perfect for a "splash and bash." A weapon to blind and pummel. Yet, there was not one thing that they could do about it.....it was just a flashlight!

Heh, I carried in casinos in NEW JERSEY!! LOL!

Or did I?

Hmm...

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you can do it without getting made.
And considering the craphole that you drive through to get to those casinos, you'd be wise to.

This forum is fantastic! I've got to remember some of these.
Carry a small ABC fire extingusher, and a flashlight?!!!
Now I'm going to order for 50 bucks the three pepper spray containers, for taking the cat for a walk...

I got a response from the hospital

I received a phone call this morning from the Chief Operations Officer of the hospital with the 30.06 sign. She said that Tenet, the owning company of the faciity, has a no-guns policy. She also said she is quite aware that those signs only keep the good guys' guns out the hospital She was glad I had written. Apparently the hospital used to have a sign in the lobby instructing anyone who wished an escort to their car to call a certain extension and someone would come. Much to her surprise, those signs have been taken down. They will now be replaced. The hospital is also going to try and address the problem of the bums by the bus stop, a security issue that she says is longstanding and that they continue to try to work on.

At any rate, I wanted you all to get the "rest of the story" and to know that a polite letter can get some results (even if they aren't going to take down the 30.06 signs.

Perhaps if they didn't prohibit good guys from carrying guns, and those bums kept behaving the way that one did when you were leaving, the problem would take care of itself...

Springmom , just read the thread , glad that archerandshooter is well and the letter has opened someones eyes but has the talk with junior go well? as much as my mom and my step mother and I don't get along I still will protect them because If my father ever found out I pulled a stunt like that he would do a Bill Cosby on me ( take me out of this world and possiblly replace me ) so my suggestion like several have said as pennance for his misactions is to be your practice Dummy for the pepperspray ( but get the practice cartridges and not tell him ) the pyscy of not knowing what its going to do will make him learn in anticipation of the mental greif you went thru , then spray some of the realstuff on some food to show him what its really like ( beware this can be used as a good tobasco replacement .. ) I am not a mean person but his actions kind of rubbed me wrong in away .

springmom,

The 30.06 prohibits pistols CCW, but nothing is said about rifles or shotguns. So, maybe a nice painting tube with a single shot 12 guage in it. Carry it under your arm:-)

Ok, realistly, besides writing the administrator, you need some good pepper spray, I suggest the foam type, an E2D Streemlight defender flashlight, and a 6 month membership to a Krav Maga course.

All those and maybe change hospitals if you can find one without a 30.06 sign.

I don't think so

Coonan, I don't treat my children that way. He made a mistake. We've talked about it. He's apologized. Had you actually read the thread you'd know that. Your suggestions are heinous.

For everyone else; thanks for all your good wishes. Archerandshooter is back to his usual terrific self and all is well. All in all, I thought it good that the hospital took their part of the responsibility and are going to reinstate the security escorts.

Time for this one to close up, Moderators.

OK Ladies and Gentlemen, with the post of coonan357 all sanity has left the building. Do you honestly think any mother is going to torture her child to teach him a lesson?? Read your history, the middle ages was hundreds of years ago. And to think, that is only one of over 700 posts of wisdom coonan357 has posted here. Amazing

SpringMom as you know by now you did the BEST thing whether or not you were armed.

FYI, I've worked at hospitals for about 17 years now (where did time go?) and they have a very high rate of attacks on women in their parking areas - I'm not sure why but every hospital I have worked at provides escorts and notifies staff of this problem.

Also, they seem to be very anti-gun, I guess they don't want anyone cutting (sic joke) into their business!
