Where to store gun when taking public transport to job which forbids guns?

My daughter works in a "gun-free" hospital, but must use public transport to get to work. She recently acquired a CCW to be safer on the bus with its assorted, colorful and/or unsavory characters, but she has no auto trunk in which to store her gun when she arrives at work. What do you suggest she do?
 
Is there a 24 hr private mail box office close by? This would work I have used those in the past in different locations due to sensitive places in the past. Then you are only without it for a few blocks.
 
I wonder if the hospital has a locker room where she could store the frame during the day and keep the magazine and slide in her purse or backpack. Then a search of either place would not turn up a complete firearm, but during her travel she could reassemble it.
 
I don't see any way for her to keep a gun during the her shift without violating a weapons policy. My local hospital allows employees to lock their gun in the security office. That horrible NYS allows carry in medical facilities.

Leave the gun at home
 
Not knowing what State you are in it is hard to provide feedback. Some States (SC for example) allow hospital employees to carry just not patients; though the specific agency can still ban firearms. NC has similar options but require permission of the employer. I would suggest starting with your States CCW laws and restrictions
 
If she needs protection on the bus but can't carry a gun anywhere else. Then she's should maybe carry a tazer or some other type of personal protection.
 
Sounds like she needs to talk to her boss and see what she can work out. Maybe they would allow her to put a lockbox box in a drawer or cabinet somewhere?

The first question MUST be what state is she in, that can drastically change her options!

seems like she should be able to make arrangement to drop it off at the security office outside the er (or equiv)?

BAD Idea, You don't take a GUN into a GUN FREE hospital and ask the minimum wage rent a cop that probably doesn't have a gun himself to hold yours! That defy's all common sense. Seeing as how we don't even know what state where dealing with that itself could be a crime.

That is without question the worst advice in this thread. All it will do is put her squarely on her supervisor's radar

Did you read the OP? He's asking for suggestions for his daughter to store her weapon that she can't take to work because she has to ride the bus and needs/desires protection with the types of people that ride this particular bus.

The answer "leave the gun at home" really is not a suggestion that meets his purposes.

Yet you have the audacity to ridicule someone else who actually tries to give a suggestion based on the question at hand:

Correction, "Leaving the gun at home" is without question, the worst advice in this thread.

But then again, why am I surprised by this "advice" you give. For you don't even agree with the 2nd Amendment.

Wow! who in the world would suggest THAT nonsense?!?

Da... think before you right garbage snatbeer..... I never suggested the young lady present her loaded and chambered GUN to a min wage security officer and show it off!

My daughter was head of security at a local hospital for a while, and I could see this young lady asking the likes of the SECURITY CHIEF a question like "My friend is thinking about getting her CCW license, and she wondered if she could leave her weapon with security when she arrived at work and then pick it up when she left at the end of her shift. She is very shy and will not ask herself so I told her I would for her!. What say you sir?"

At least read the comments FULLY before you bash them. Maybe we are not all as smart as you, but we other lesser beings are trying to give ideas at least. What is YOUR idea other than a stupid nonsense bash?

Buy her a car (she'll love me for this response).

I did. It's a "Gun Free" hospital! Who's not reading? The mindset of the hospital is known. You don''t go talking guns to security who's job it is to enforce BS policy. If YOU read my post you would see I said we MUST know what state the OP is in, as THAT will dictate the answer. If they are in a anti state where signs or company policy may hold force of law, she's screwed. It would also matter whether the inside of her car counts as her "home" or not while on hospital property. They could very well tell her that she can't even have it in her car depending on law, and if she followed your advise would have given them probable cause to have the car searched for weapons, which a hospital with a "No Guns" policy would have done without thinking twice. If she was in a state where her car was an extension of her home, signs and policies have no force of law, and hospitals where GFZ's then the answer would be CONCEALED MEANS CONCEALED!
 
Also in not knowing what state, be sure there's no prohibition on carrying on public transport.

Some of our more enlightened states seem to think that's a way to restrict firearms, er, control crime.
 
Perhaps she could participate in a car pool? Or some cities have a "van pool" organized by the local transit authority.

Maybe coordinate with a friend /co-worker that drives, not for a ride, but for trunk space in the car (I.e., disarm in the parking lot into the Friend/co-worker's trunk).
