Going to hospital for a few days
Normally I carry as normal when going to hospital. But I'm going in for 3-4 days for my wife when they induce her for the birth of my son. Hospitals aren't on PA protected list, only mental hospitals. It's not comfortable to keep it on me for days on end, but I'll have a backpack. Suggestions?

Leave it in the backpack when you get tired of carrying.

Don't they usually boot the women out after like 24hrs? Might not have to worry.

Carry something smaller and more comfortable? There*s a place in the arsenal for pocket pistols.

Amen to pocket pistols. One of my faves is the colt vest pocket 25. Not a heavy hitter but better than a empty hand.

I carry a Glock 43X in a small hiking butt pack everywhere. Hospitals. Doctor's offices. The beautician that cuts my hair. The mall. Everywhere, during warm weather.
You look like a dweeb, but in 15 years of doing it, no one has ever caught on.
I even tak it off and set it and my ball cap, etc. on the floor of the doctor's office when they weigh me, then pick it up to walk to the exam room. No one has ever asked, "whatcha got in there?"Sed ego sum homo indomitus

A week over due, they induced labor. From 0mm to 4mm dilation over the course of 30 hours, the doctor broke the water manually to try and speed things up. Then, with each contraction, the uterus clamped down on the umbilical cord reducing the flow, dropping fetal heart rate from 150bpm to 70bpm. So they stopped contractions and performed an emergency c section. Everything was successful, everyone recovered, and now we're home. Still adjusting to the new schedule.
