When I go to the Doctor or Dentist, I take off my gun and lock it in the vault in my truck, separate from the mag, of course. I usually have to take off my coat and if I have to disrobe the firearm isn't under my direct control. I tend to fall asleep during my clean & check at the Dentist so again, not under my direct control. My Doctor/NP is fully aware of my 2A stance and has no problem with it. My Dentist is a avid Duck Hunter and is always taking a new class at Sig Academy. None of the staff at my Dr. or DMD say a word about my empty holster or mag pouches but the definitely notice them.
Beautiful state, but the political winds have been coming from the left for many years.
Unless gun owners are doing something to get their rights back then they accept their situation. .

Holy necro-post!
Moving here from the South, my observation is that in Mass there is quite a difference between inside and outside the 495 beltway. Experiment in both zones and report back. I think we all know which one will be more entertaining.
What trouble, if any, would I be in if I just wore an empty holster on my belt?
I like the idea of an empty holster, it will make them wonder where it is.(the gun)
I carry a tote bag with me and when I go into a place were I have to "disrobe" I also carry one of those small car safes and I put my gun in there...
I've had to pull my shirt off many times at the Doctors, I just leave the gun in its holster and my Doc just gos about his business and I put my shirt back on when done... I carry OWB with thumb break...
Wow, that's one thing that I can't do down here. Now my only defense is that I still have my military Tricare doctor and as a backup I have a VA provider, but both locations are either on a government installation (Ft. Bragg) or is a government building and is strictly prohibited from having a firearm even on the premises to include the parking lot. Every civilian hospital is also posted but I'm not sure about private practices. The pain clinic that I go to is posted, but I always leave my sidearm in my truck. They do see my holster pretty much every time I go there, but gun ownership is such a common thing in my area that it isn't a big deal at all.
Heh.
Yeah...walk around with a sort of distracted look on your face, quietly mumbling and pointing, "Now...I remember that I had it when I went to the restroom...but then..."
We did something similar in Lowell last year, not nearly as much fun as them 'Bama Boys though...Well, here's your answer:
