So, I just thought of a question that I was hoping someone had an answer for.
Say you are in an accident where transport to a hospital via an ambulance is needed. What happens to your firearm if you there isn't any family/friends around to take it for you?
Scenario: You are walking back to your car in a parking lot when some old lady runs a crosswalk and hits you, you aren't seriously injured but you hit your head and lose consciousness for a few seconds. Some bystander sees this and calls 911 for an ambulance. When they arrive on scene they notice you are carrying a pistol and tell dispatch that the scene isn't safe due to the weapon and request PD to secure the scene before they proceed with medical treatment. PD arrives on scene, secures the weapon, although you protest, and then the ambulance crew recommends you get medical attention immediately and requests that they immobilize you on a long spine board. Long story short, you get put in the back of the ambulance and taken to the hospital. What happens to your firearm in this situation?
Even if the ambulance crew decides that PD is not needed to secure the scene, they aren't going to let you take the gun into the hospital or back of the ambulance.
Just curious if anyone has been in a situation like this. Was it difficult to get your firearm back?
Thanks.
