Medical facility...

I'm looking at this:

(M) A permit issued pursuant to this section does not authorize a permit holder to carry a concealable weapon into a:

(10) hospital, medical clinic, doctor’s office, or any other facility where medical services or procedures are performed unless expressly authorized by the employer.

I've seen 99% of the folks say that I can't carry, with a CWP, in my doctor's office, hospital, clinic etc without permission. The last word in the sentence is "employer". This assumes that I'm employed by the office and an employer/employee relationship exists. If I'm a patient I'm not employed. The way I'm reading this is if you are an employ of the doctor's office, clinic etc. it means you need permission from the employer to carry. If you are a patient with a CWP then you don't need permission.
 
If you are an employee, you have the option to carry with express consent from employer. If you are anyone else, you can't carry in medical facility. This is true at least for the states that I have permits for. Yours may be different but I doubt it.
 
i went to the dentist last week to get some work done whilst packing there wasn't a sign saying i couldn't at the door either .....i still wish courts would have a place to check our weapons or hold them for us in a locker or something till we are ready to leave the building
 
If you go somewhere that's not gonna search you then you're probably OK unless it falls out on the floor. I was just stating what the law says.
 
I talked to a lawyer and they said it could be read either way. The statement should have "facility" in place of "employer". Also, since no one has challenged that particular facet of the law there is no court ruling to go by. I'm going to pursue this a bit and see if I can get a judge or two to weigh in. I will post what I find out.
 
Interesting note here...
I have customers in the medical field... A few of them told me they would prefer I can into their practices....

I'd ask... And get it in writing...CYA
