I had a bit of a set-to with one of my doctors the other day. She said in no uncertain
terms that carrying in a hospital was not allowed (she called it an 'unwritten rule') and
especially in her clinic she didn't want guns. (BTW, I looked at the doors I enter the building
through, and they have no mention of a weapons policy, nor is it within 3 blocks of a school.)
I've never open carried there, just made the mistake of mentioning it to her one day. My
gun has always been safely and legally tucked away in a container, not bothering the
sheeple yet handy for repelling Bad Guys. (<sarcasm>Nobody ever shoots someone in a
hospital, right? Or walking down the street</sarcasm>?)
I've looked through the Wisconsin statutes, and can't find where they say it's illegal to
carry in a hospital. Can anyone help me out here?
The places I know it's illegal to carry in WI are:
government-owned or -leased buildings, incl. schools
state parks [thank you, goforlow]
moving vehicles (must be 'unloaded& encased')
post offices
bars or restaurants w/ a class b license (unless "authorized for a specific event of limited
duration by the owner or manager of the premises"... so get permission from the manager
tocome in& eat lunch! See WI stat 941.237(3)(g))
public property within 1000' of a school, unless unloaded& encased (being challenged in court)
