OC'ed at the Butterworth hospital last night in GR. Didn't go as well as I had hoped. Lol. I have a valid CPL and was full OC so I was legal and there was no signage stating that I couldn't.
Walked in, stopped at an information desk to get my parking validated and ask for my father's room number. Being I didn't know what elevator to take a cute early 20 something girl lead me through the building so I would not get lost. Got to the room without any issues and no strange looks. Was there about 10 minutes when two security guards came in wanting to talk to me.
I stepped into the hall and instantly one of them tries to remove the gun. He tugged on it twice but due to it being a retention holster he failed. He then asked me to remove it for him. I sad "no it's perfectly safe right where it is. "
He then starting telling me it was illegal to have that there and I quickly explained to him the way the laws are written I am legal to carry openly because I have a valid cpl. He then tells me "well our policy says that you can't". I say "now you are talking something different. I know this is not a state owned hospital and it's privately owned so property owner rights trump state law and if you ask me to leave I have to. So if that is what you are doing then I will lock it up in my vehicle and return". They were happy with that and walked with me to make sure I did.
They were polite and other than the guy trying a gun grab it was not a big deal.
On the walk out and back in we talked about guns, holsters, the need for people to carry and the training they should have when they do carry.
They also said "don't think you are the first person we have had to do this to we even get panic calls for empty holsters". One of them gave me his card and said that if anyone gave me troubles about the holster to show them the card and that it was fine.
