We had a bunch of people get in a tizzy the other day because a patient presented who was a cop, but was off-duty. He had his firearm with him, of course. They were running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get someone in administration to tell them what to do. Options ranged from asking him to take it back to his vehicle to having hospital security take the weapon to lockup - which I think is f***ing hysterical, since security cannot have a gun, a knife, a baton or pepper spray themselves. They were going so far as discussing whether he was technically off-duty, since as a cop he could always be considered "on call". It was the most ridiculous circle-jerk of a bunch of whiny little ninnies I think I've seen in a very long time. I made it a point to tell them what a ridiculous waste of effort and corporate idiocy it all was. I mean, come on, get real, do we not have anything better to do than running around wetting our f***ing adult diapers wondering if a cop should be trusted with a gun?Bottom line is, if it's not the V.A., then I'd say carry on. I'm not sure about the OU/OSU-run hospitals, in terms of if they are considered a state entity or not? I know it's not considered part of the campus, but I forget the wording of the law as it pertains to city/county/state doing business with the public, and how it would apply in that situation.</blockquote>
