Re: Armed around police - the jitters do fade

I had the occasion twice in the last few days to carry around several on duty LEOs at Cook Children's Hosptial in FW. My son came down with a really nasty stomach bug and the wife took him to Cook's to get checked out (worried about dehydration, stomach blockage, etc...), and I met them there. When you enter Cook's ER, there is a mini-police station right inside the door (with 2-3 guys on duty) and another LEO sitting at the check-in desk. There are gunbuster signs on the doors ("No Handguns Allowed") but no 30.06 or 30.06-ish signs to be seen.

The only time I felt realy conspicuous was when first I got there on Saturday night. Since I had never been there before, I was entering kind of slowly checking out all the doors and walls for valid 30.06 signs. The LEO who was entering RIGHT behind me was probably wondering why I was moving so slow. I just looked at him and said, "this is the ER, right?" He said that I was in the right place and pointed out the front desk for me.

While in the ER, I had to hold my son still while they took some samples, did an exam and shot an x-ray. He's 5 years old and autistic, so he doesn't just sit still on command, and he is REALLY a handful to restrain. I'd be shocked if my shirt didn't pull up over my pistol at least once, but either nobody noticed or nobody cared.

On both trips to the ER, I was coming straight from work, so I wasn't wearing my best concealment garments and I was carrying OWB in a paddle holster. At any rate, I had no problems either time.

BTW, the boy's fine. :thumbs2:
