They will point to the sign at their door that you had to pass coming in, because it's on EVERY outside door.
There does appear to be a Bright Horizons daycare inside the main hospital building at 7910 W Jefferson Blvd, Fort Wayne, IN 46804. That would make the entire building a school, and the associated parking would need to follow the school parking lot law. Really nothing to do with being a hospital. More the fact they stuck a daycare inside.Doesn't Lutheran hospital here in the Fort have a preschool?

By legislating away private property rights?These little silly GFZ's are something we need to get our legislators to work on fixing.
By legislating away private property rights?
Okay, I will agree on that one. Silly that just because there is a day care in a building that you can't carry in it.No no, I meant the pre-school/daycare involvement that actually make it illegal to be there vs just trespassing.
Once you're open to the general public you should be subject to preemption. Your property rights should not override my Constitutional rights. You're the one who chose to go into business.By legislating away private property rights?

Employers that don't have on-site armed security should be subject to the same guideline.
Wait... unless you're the patient in the hospital, and usually even then, you're the one who chose to go to that business. Why should your rights override the business owner's? The trick is crafting laws that respect EVERYONE's rights. How? Remove the law that makes exercising your rights a criminal act, and allow the business to set their local rules of what they will and will not allow there. Business owner says no ______ on my property, and you cause one to be there, they can tell you to leave and refusal is a criminal act, much as we have here in Indiana now re: guns.
Fill in that blank with: Bibles, guns, White people, Black people, apples, water bottles, protest groups, Republicans, Democrats, Communists, cameras.... whatever. Remove the government from the equation and you solve LOTS of problems. And yes, I'm including the "discrimination" laws, because again, that interferes with the individual right to choose with whom one associates. Let the market and the public decide. "What? Chick-Fil-A doesn't allow Muslims on their property? I'm not Muslim, but I don't agree with that, so I won't go there either." It's kinda like the "no gun, no $$" cards. If _____ is not welcome, my money isn't either.
If you can choose to go there, they should be able to choose how they run their business. Including their right to run it right into the ground and go broke.

If it takes public funds it is not private any longer in my mind. There should be NO publicly funded GFZ's.
I respectfully have to disagree... especially with organizations (hospitals, colleges, malls, etc.) that get public tax funds or abatements.
As a legally licensed gun owner, I'm sick and tired of my rights being discriminated against by property owners hiding behind the 'private property' statutes and employers hiding behind the same to leave their employees defenseless. All because of the unproven fear that some goofball will cause an incident.
Once you're open to the public, private property protections shouldn't apply.
All that would need to happen is a law holding property owners responsible for any accident or injury denying self-defense. The same law could also hold property owners not responsible for same if they permit it.
Private property is private property, it should be without govt intervention.
If it takes public funds it is not private any longer, in my mind. There should be NO publicly funded GFZ's.
EXACTLY!
Every hospital that takes Medicare or Medicaid is getting our tax dollars. Almost every mall in the country - especially Simon's - get special tax abatements which are also our tax dollars. Same with colleges. Many large employers also get special tax concessions on our dime.
These folks should get ZERO protections and be prohibited from restricting carry.
