Title: Unintentional OC at Sparrow Hospital
Post by: linux203 on August 04, 2014, 08:59:17 PM

So the original plan was to drop my wife off at the entrance, park the car, secure the firearm and meet up with the wife.

Unplanned event #1.  No valet at the main entrance at arrival.  No big deal, expose the firearm, enter, grab wheel chair, exit.

Unplanned event #2.  Wheel wife inside, valet is there now and I'm being given directions on how to get her to Labor & Delivery.  No big deal, tuck the shirt in while in the elevator.

About 50 minutes later, my daughter Anna is born.  Woohoo!!!  About 15 minutes later, a nurse comes in an informs me a security guard would like to speak to me about my firearm.  He escorts me from L&D to my car to secure my firearm.  He was cool about it.  Sparrow Hospital is private property, so I was cool with it.  We chatted about firearms as we walked.  He carries off duty. ;)

I must say I'm very grateful to Sparrow for allowing me to remain in the room until after the birth.

No kidding... I tell all new parents to eat their children before they turn into teenagers... and I mean it.  Don't do it, and you'll be telling me in 18 years you should have listened to me.
