Children's Hospital Colorado - Aurora

[marksjeep]

Is Children's Hospital in Aurora go/no-go for ccw?

I can not find any definitive info on line. The majority of the campus is owned by CU, so its good to go. But, CHC is private entity on the campus, not part of CU.

Anyone info is appreciated.

I only went into the main hospital in the past. Generally with a hospital, as long as you aren't entering via the ER, then are okay.

Try it out and see. Most hospitals I've been to in the metro area, only have metal detectors in the ER areas, and since I'm rarely actively seeking out denial of self defense (signs), I rarely have an issue carrying most everywhere.

I was at children's and was carrying. Metal detectors are usually at the ER entrance.

Why do they have metal detectors at the ER?

Emotions running high in an ER. Don't want thugs running up on the hospital getting revenge on the family of the person who hurt their boy if they also ended up in the hospital. Think of that scene in Breaking Bad when the twins were in the hospital.

Makes sense Stu, I've never seen Breaking Bad

Univ of Colorado ER can be a little miniature version of Detroit.

You would be surprised the things that go on in the ER. My dad is a security guard for a hospital and he has some stories. I sure as heck would not want to be an unarmed Security guard in an ER. Ohh they don't have enough bullet-resistant vests for all the guards so they only store them for when some type of event goes on.

Thx for the info.

Hell when I was a guard they didn't have vests for us, period. The ED can get nuckin' FUTS.

Technically hospitals are no-firearm zones, but like most have said, you're only going to see detectors at the ED. Don't even TRY anything sheisty at the Children's ED-they have that place locked up tighter than a dolphin's butthole.

I was at Littleton Adventist ER recently and didn't see any metal detectors...they had an armed security guard though...which brought the total of individuals carrying a firearm to at least 2 that night :p

[Monky]

My trip to the er included a metal detector and a cop manning the desk. Needless to say I had to hobble back to my car.

Last I was at children's there were no metal detectors that I could see

How's that?

[Guylee]

How's that?

Every one I've ever been to has had a "no firearms" sign, although I guess that's just a common policy.

The old guy at the ER in ft Collins about went ninja on me over a small pocket knife I use for resetting routers.

The hospital in Cheyenne would have let me in with 2 guns.
