Mrs. Bigtanker was having a health issue this morning and she got her first ride in an ambulance (She's fine now btw).
I was in the lobby talking on the phone and the security guard noticed my Leatherman and my Kershaw clipped to my pants. He asked me to return them to my vehicle as they are against the weapons policy.
I wanted to lift up my sweater and ask if I this (my edc) is ok or not. But I bit my lip and returned the knives to my vehicle. My pistol stayed with me.
I know this hospital is not a prohobited place so I'm good!
Your story of the overzealous security guard reminds me of the time I went to a concert and had a security guard pat me down. He made sure to confiscate the sharpie that I was carrying in my pocket, but he totally missed the gun I had on my hip lol
