solareclipse2 Posted February 16, 2015 at 03:43 PM Share Posted February 16, 2015 at 03:43 PM I think it depends on if it's a private practice or owned by a hospital. Private practice you're ok, owned by a hospital you're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwc Posted February 16, 2015 at 03:43 PM Share Posted February 16, 2015 at 03:43 PM Is your doctor's office under control of or affiliated with a hospital? If so, it's off-limits. (7) Any building, real property, and parking area under the control of a public or private hospital or hospital affiliate, mental health facility, or nursing home.

Jeffrey Posted February 16, 2015 at 04:54 PM Share Posted February 16, 2015 at 04:54 PM If the name of the place doesn't include the word "Hospital" and there is no sign on the entrance, it stays on my hip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockman Posted February 16, 2015 at 05:15 PM Share Posted February 16, 2015 at 05:15 PM I think it depends on if it's a private practice or owned by a hospital. Private practice you're ok, owned by a hospital you're no I have no way of knowing who owns it or what corporate structure co If you do not know who owns it and it is not posted, you are not knowingly in violation of anything. If it is posted, ownership is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckfarrack Posted February 25, 2015 at 11:29 PM Share Posted February 25, 2015 at 11:29 PM Same here Harley,when the doc asks my wife to lay down,i usually get undressed and lay down with her. Got sick and went the doc last week.Decided to go to the CVS Minute-Clinic.How AWESOME that was. No gun sign so i carry on in.NO waiting line.An American woman in her mid 60's.She had me to pull my shirt off to better hear my lungs wheezing.She never said a word about my gun hagin' on my hip.Wrote 4 prescriptions,and out the door in 20 minutes.Soooo Long Hospital/Clinic!!

I think I would reverse that combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would reverse that combo. No,No No, i didn't have COPD or asthma,just the same common congestive virus everyone of my neighbors had.Best doctor i have ever in my life talked to.She wasn't in a big hurry,wasn't on her phone,she even spoke plain English,and helped fix my problem.Some of these hospital clinics better take note.Doctors in these small clinics do not have quota to meet.She listened to what i had to say for HALF the cost to my insurance company. You should try one too Elmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bw200 Posted February 28, 2015 at 04:17 AM Share Posted February 28, 2015 at 04:17 AM my doctor has two offices,, one is private and I don't know if its posted as I like going to the smaller and closer second office that also happens to be inside a building owned by the hospital...I believe their isn't a gun sign if I recall correct however it is posted as a outreach building of the hospital,, so by extension,, a off limits building regardless of posting. If however they do away with the restriction,.. I would recommend a shoulder holster,.. would seem to be only thing that could work if asked to change into a gown that only covers 4/5ths of you at best.
