Open Carry at the Yuma Regional Medical Center

YRMC is now part of a "private - public partnership".

They can now legally ban guns from their facility as a private entity, without checking them for you.

I don’t (and generally can’t here in CA) open carry. I prefer CCW, but have zero problem with anybody open carrying. In most cases, only private, not public facilities should have the right to prohibit open or CCW carry.

What model Glock?

I would prefer a Wheel Gun..
Your thoughts?

And who is the maker of That Hat?

Thanks!

Nicely done Dean. I see open carry on occasion in Reno but no one seems too concerned.

Arizona has a whole different culture as far as firearms are concerned. My buddy asked me to describe it after I had been here four years and I said, ‘the Glock 17 is our state flower.”

Of course there is always room for sensible open carry as compared to idiots without a clue.

I live near Colorado Springs, CO. My UC Medical facility has a no guns sign, but I have seen open carry at Walmart and at Lowes. Nobody seems to care, but my super-liberal daughter who lives in Alaska feels very uncomfortable around anyone with a gun, despite the fact that when she was 12, she had no problem shooting my .22 semi-auto rifle. But 4 years at UC Boulder was all it took to turn her into a super liberal.

If you daughter hails from AK, she will likely come around on guns. Open carry there is just too common. Wish you the best.

Nice. Here in Virginia it’s pretty much normalized as well. With the exception of a few places that I rarely go, like the DMV office, OC simply isn’t an issue anymore.

Looks like a Gen 2 Glock 17 with tritium night sights.

Glock 17... Okay.

Seems a Revolver would be a
“Friendlier” pistol to display.

That’s just Me.
Thanks

The Hat makes It!

I live in Littleton outside Denver. I have not seen a lot of open carry. Sometimes my aloha shirt will blow open but usually I have a dark tshirt on under.
Littleton Advent hospital has a metal detector and guard when walking into ER, even I you are the emergency. Probably nor at ambulance entrance. BTW what is the EMT procedure for dealing with an injured legally armed person?

I bet you get a lot more chest X-Rays in Yuma. There is an 8.8 per 100,000 rate of tuberculosis in your county, so there is a continuous alert for its symptoms.

Looks like he sat on that hat.

A couple of cross country motorcycle trips, with the hat crushed and bungee-corded on the luggage, will do that.

The TB test was negative.

Turned out to pneumonia. Being treated now.

Should have been

Turned out to “be” pneumonia. Being treated now.

Good eye. That is correct.

Glock 17, Gen 2 with night sights.

I like revolvers, but it is hard to beat the Glock. Weight the same as a .357, but has 18 rounds to a revolver’s 6-7 for the same weight of gun.

The Glock has become the Smith & Wesson of the age.
