We all know the rules ... no carry in a hospital, emergency room or trauma center.  Simple enough, right?

How about a clinic?  Technically, it's not a hospital.  However, if the clinic offers urgent care treatment, is it a "trauma center" or "emergency room"?  What if the clinic is a part of a university system, e.g. a UNMC clinic or (formerly) a Creighton clinic?  Is it then a "school building"?

The Administrative Code leaves the terms "hospital", "emergency room" and "trauma center" undefined.  What is an "emergency room"?  Is it a private area where you meet with a doctor?  Does it include the waiting room?  Waiting room and emergency room seem, logically, to be two different rooms.  However, they may be separated by nothing more than a curtain.

Discuss.   ;D

In my eyes, anywhere medical treatment is provided on a regular basis is off limits for carry.

Why?

gsd:
Just my interpretation of the law, honestly. I don't know how to justify it really, i simply view clinics as smaller hospitals.

Husker_Fan:
I wouldn't advise anyone else on the matter, but my personal opinion is that they are not.  Clinics are treated differently than hospitals for lots of legal reasons and this is just another situation where the legislature put a restriction on one and not the other.
