Re: CCW Jefferson Hospital
King - I understand. I was simply trying to explain that MANY hospitals are gun-free zones... some are a little more reasonable than others.
And would it really be safe to allow someone to have access to a firearm if they are being given medications that could A) sedate them and/or B) have mind-altering effects?
As for this hospital, the rule was if there wasn't a valid LCTF, we'd THEN bring in the local PD to handle the situation. Not the best way it could be handled...but not the worst, either.

Very very bad option. Never trust turning over your firearm to hospital security. Here's a horror story of what may happen.

Re: CCW Jefferson Hospital
DO YOU THINK THIS APPLES. look at #7
Off-limits places in PA and what makes them off-limits:
1. Court Facilities - PA Title 18, Chapter 9, Subsection 913
2a.*Grounds and buildings of Elementary and Secondary schools(K-12 grades), whether the school is private or public. There is an affirmative defense for "other lawful purposes" however there is no case law determining on what that includes. To be safe, its wiser to assume it does not include our carrying "rights". - PA Title 18, Chapter 9, Subsection 912
2b. Within 1000ft of a school unless you have a license/permit issued by the state in which the school is located - US Title 18, Part I, Chapter 44, Subsection 922(q)
3. Casinos - by regulation Title 58, Part VII, Chapter 465, Subsection 465a.13
4. Certain Department of State buildings - by regulation
5. ****Places off-limits by Federal Law or regulation, IE: military installations(exceptions for hunting at some bases), Federal Government buildings, after the security check point in airports,etc.
6. Any private property where a landowner, tenant or person so authorized to maintain property has asked you to leave because you are carrying, or where the property owner or tenant has placed signs or placards denoting that guns are forbidden - Title 18, Chapter 35, Subsection 3503
7. Detention facilities, correctional institutes, or mental hospitals - Title 18, Chapter 51, Subsection 5122
The 14th and 13th floor of the Thompson building is the Psychiatric ward. if your surgery is in the Gibbon or Pavilion buildings (wear all surgery except neurological surgery takes place) The buildings are all connected via hallways you cant tell when you change buildings..
I know if you are in a building that connects to a courtroom by a hallway it to is off limits. is this the same for mental hospitals

"All persons". No doubt they include police officers and their own security staff in that. :rolleyes:

Their security staff is unarmed. They have big old sticks batons, and are Act 235 certified.
