--- Quote from: DanClrk51 on September 16, 2011, 05:53:38 AM ---I can think of a good reason why i shouldn't be barred from bringing my handgun with me into the hospital: So i don't have to fear that my gun gets stolen from the car if some thug decides to smash out the window and steal the cd player. Then I am minus my gun and a criminal (felon) has gotten a hold of a gun. I thought the legislature is trying to keep guns out of the wrong hands?

Not to mention it necessitates more gun handling and doesn't that increase the odds of blasting something unintentionally?

It's not about safety or concerns for "public welfare."  It's simply there to pacify the "we don't like guns anywhere crowd." 

armed and humorous:
While this is not something I would fight tooth and nail to change, I find it odd that someone would question why anyone would need a gun in a hospital.  Is a hospital any different from a college or high school campus, or a bank?  Don't we have dozens, or hundreds of examples of people taking guns illegally into these places, even though it was already against the law?  So, we shouldn't be allowed to defend ourselves if we're in one of the supposedly gun-free zones?  People need to realize that it's not the CHP holder who is going to rob the bank or shoot high school or college students.  It is just as unlikely that a CHP holder is going into a hospital to shoot someone.  As far as I'm concerned, there is no place a CHP holder should not be allowed to go as long as there is any chance that someone else might disobey the law and go in with a firearm.  Places that have metal detectors and/or other procedures for making sure no one gets in with a gun "might" be a different story.  Even then, we apparently can't keep weapons out no matter what we do, as there have been courtroom shootings and bombs on airplanes.
