Is it legal to carry pepper spray while in a mental hospital?
I have some side work that I'm doing which involves working in locked wards in a mental hospital.
 
I can only take a SWAG at this, so . . .

If it would be in the same category as a prison, you can't bring anything that could be used as a weapon into the secured area.

Legally or not, I'd probably opt to leave the OC outside the secured area, and I'd insist on a big burly orderly to be with me while I worked to protect me from any patient who decided to act out.
 
Thanks Len.
The last time that we were in the place, there was a person with us at all times. The person had the key to the door, and when we worked (with screws and saws and drills and such) we had to make sure that the place was clean of screws or anything sharp.
The Person with us, or the orderly, was not big at all.
We were excorted everywhere within the locked areas because we had tools and things that could be used for damage.
