So I go to pick up my son at soccer and when I arrive he is there with possible broken wrist. Fire station only couple hundred yards away so I bring him over for a look. They take a look and say they will transport but I'm CCW so I talk them out of it and take him myself utilizing my glove box. My only option at the time. What if it was more life threatening. I guess concealed means concealed but I hate feeling like a criminal. Oh well Xray time.!
 
You would even consider this question for a seriously life threatening injury for your son?
 
What does ccw have to do with taking the ride? It's not illegal. And why would it even come up?

I dont think it's illegal to ride in an ambulance CCW.

If I was personally injured and CCW, I would not ride in an ambulance until my weapon could be secured by a trusted friend.

I'm confused as to why you needed to "hide" anything....
Concealed = concealed
You have a valid MA LTC-A, "unrestricted", yes? Not "Restrictions - No Ambulance/No Firehouses/No Hospitals" etc

I don't see why the concern. Half the firefighters probably have LTCs...
(They know the cops and, by extension, usually the Chief in the town pretty well too)
Very few PPs at "Engine 1 / Ladder 4" etc

The fact that you "feel like a criminal" speaks volumes about this horrific state, eh? (RIGHT, SPEAKER DeLEO???????????)

Hope the kid's OK.
Peace.
 
When you search Google for "Full Retard Herp Derp",this thread is at the top of the list.I have seen some seriously stupid "What Should I do" because I can't think for myself threads on NES,but this takes the crown.

Good God man..
 
I know a Wareham fire fighter and emt, no firearms allowed on the town ambulance.

um....LTC-A RESTRICTIONS: NONE

My overall point being that if we are in such a fear state that we have to worry about whether to carry at a kid's little league game, etc, what's next?
"Attention citizens: Even though you have a valid License to Carry (which you already did anyways, under The Constitution of the United States, Bill of Rights, Amendment No. 2), please just leave your nasty gun at home, safely stored in a locked container, so that you don't piss off, scare, offend, frighten, inconvenience, or otherwise create discomfort and panty poop for your fellow Wussies who would rather just 'hope and pray that nothing BAD happens' anywhere, ever".

Are we in total fear of this regime like friggin Germany (circa 1937) here in the CommonPuke??

Dammit, I'll carry in a hospital, an ambulance, a train, a duckboat tour, a greyhound bus...I'll carry at Starbucks, at Goddammed Chipotle, at Target, at EVERY "no guns allowed" retail establishment and/or private property, etc etc...I carry my gun - PERIOD. Whenever and wherever I decide to carry it. I don't carry my gun because I feel the "Big Brother" allows me to...I'll avoid their Nazi-style checkpoints (a.k.a. metal detectors and security frisks) whenever necessary, but if no metal detector or wand is present, dammit I'll duct tape my G26 around my scrotum and dare them to squeeze me down there as I'm entering Fenway or Gillette...

I carry everywhere, because I absolutely, positively, vehemently REFUSE to be a victim of a whacko, a psycho, a paroled (multiple times, usually, in this great land of Dukakis-appointed judges) violent criminal, a bear, a coyote, a rabid dog, alligators in the sewers....a junkie looking for a quick few bucks for his next fix, two or three human animals who might want to hurt my wife or daughter, etc etc etc.

I don't carry a gun to be "cool", or to feel tougher than I am, or to impress the chicks (although they do they LOOOOOVE a good guy with a gun [laugh] ).....

I don't carry because I'm "paranoid" and I don't carry because I'm a "bitter clinger", you disgusting, un-American, commie, socialist, Jane Fonda movie watching wimp at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, in Washington. I carry because DAMMIT it is MY RIGHT and MY WILL AS A FREE MAN.

I'll carry in that ambulance on my way to the hospital with my kid BECAUSE, as far as I know, tonight may just be the night when that disgruntled former ER staffer, who felt his/her life had
gone down the pooper after being fired for whatever cause, good or bad, returns to the ER and, just like in that AWESOME video game he plays over and over (in his one room converted closet of a bedroom in Mommy's basement) opens up with his AK and picks off innocent, helpless, defenseless former co-workers, AND several defenseless, UNARMED bystanders who simply had the misfortune of having to wait 4 hours for the results to come back on their ingrown toenails.

Bullsh*t!!!!!

I carry, CONCEALED...without fear of....well...without fear of ANYTHING. And if some lying, hypocritical bozo's like DeLeo or the new captain of the "Lying Backstabbers" team, Rep. Ross, want to eliminate ALL legal guns and make ALL existing and future LTCs null and void, I will still - STILL - carry my concealed weapon on me.

Everywhere.

Because, unless you're a Hindu and think this all happens again, you only have, as one of my tattoos reads, "One Life".

And that, THAT ONE LIFE, "shall NOT be infringed".

How are you being a criminal? You can carry your firearm into the hospital concealed. There is usually only a no firearms policy for employees of a hospital whether on or off duty. If there is a sign forbidding firearms possession inside, you couldn't see it because your mind was on your child's well being. No crime has been committed unless they ask you to leave and you don't.

By the way, FD's love to transport patients for two reasons:

1. Liabililty, unless you sign the waiver.

2. The chief loves transports because it adds to his run totals and helps justify his budget come the new fiscal year and your insurance company gets whacked for a minimum $800 taxi ride. The taxi fee helps contribute to the new ambulance fund when a replacement is needed.
 
My bad. Thought CCW in a hospital was a no no. Read about a guy getting jammed up for having brass stuck in shoe after a range trip and in came out in the docs office. BTW it's not life threatening or I would not have even thought about it.
 
I am MUCH more concerned that you may be CCW'ing on school curtilage.... is that soccer field part of or next to a school and regularly used for school activity?

I am also much more concerned you put your CCW in your glove box which is a huge no-no. Keep it on in the hospital or put it in your trunk.


My 2 cents for your consideration not knowing all the details of the situation.
 
can we please stop referring to it as "CCW" or "CCWing"?? it isn't grammatically correct and it is just elfin stupid sounding.

This is what came to my mind when I read the OP.

Sorry asshat it was just easier to type. You guys can be brutal some times! Have a good night

Others replied to you, taking the time to respond to your situation, and I suspect that he was complaining at least in part to my use of "CCW"

Chill baby!


(I hope your kid is OK)
