St. Joseph's hospital not anti gun

[Bill Starks]

Has anyone sent any emails to any of these hospital properties, to tell them how ridiculous these signs and policies are? I have sent emails to Valley Medical Center, but have not heard anything back. I am assuming it has fallen upon deaf ears, but it's worth a shot.

A little Washington State history...
RCW 72.23 requires each hospital to develop a plan to reasonably prevent and protect their employees from violence at those hospitals. Each hospital had to implement by January 1, 2001 a plan to prevent and protect employees from violence. The plan was created and in doing so they decided to make the facility a weapons free zone which lowered insurance rates and "on paper" made them look like they were actually accomplishing a way to reduce violence.

And on the internet also, I've seen the pictures and they will be forever embedded---- much like Al Bundy on the TV program seeing the next door neighbor, Marcy, naked....."I'm Blind, I'm Blind!" LOL

Deaf ears? No, more like ears that just don't care and dismissed you as a crazy gun-totin' lunatic eager to shoot up the place. :banghead:

There's those words again... "reasonable" "protect" "prevent" :banghead:x3

At least they put metal detectors at some of the doors, do only the smart armed bad guys can get in. Y'know, cuts down on the riff-raff....

Phew. Well good thing they have those signs up, to keep out those crazed-lunatics from going in an open firing on everyone!

hosp and carry

Best stinking metal detector that hospitals have is the Magnetic Resonance Imaging equipment...or MRI.

Stay well away from there.

With Valley Medical Center taking tax dollars and being in King County Hospital District #1, wouldn't that make them have the same rules as other county government buildings?

I'm especially fond of the signs that peel themselves off the wall and fly into the path of bullets.

Handy those signs are!
