Potential liabilities are virtually unlimited and include unlawful detainment, theft (taking the weapon given to you for safekweping and then turning it over to a third party), even the refusing treatment unless they surrender the weapon might bring legal issues of it's own.

I would also request guidance from an attorney myself once I get the hospital's legal staff's opinion.

Your advice is sound. However, I definitely got the impression I was dealing with a gun grabber. She/They don't really care to support the spirit of the law. Otherwise, it's a fantastic place to work. I'm not going to give up all the good for this one bad.
However!
I've made up my mind that I will not initiate any action, other than notify an open carrier about the signs. (If they ignore that verbal notice, I'm now operating under a legitimate notice.) It will be up to the Medical or Administration staff to confront the patient once a concealed weapon is discovered.
Yes, the clinic is putting itself at risk. I warned them. My conscious is clear. I was just hoping that somebody could point me to a court decision I could refer them to. I like this place and people, but they appear to have a bit of an arrogant attitude about security. They just don't think it can happen to them.

Sorry guys. I wasn't clear on the confiscate part. The only time this happened, the patient was carrying concealed. Once the Dr. began to examine him and discovered the weapon, he voluntarily surrendered it to me at the Dr.s request. I returned it to him when he left.
The next day, my Sergeant said I should have called the police and let them return the weapon. He said they could have checked to be sure he didn't have warrants.
I'd feel better about that if the signs were more prominently displayed. I don't believe the guy saw the signs. He was concentrating more on his pain than his surroundings.
If somebody refused to surrender the weapon, we would refuse treatment and ask them to leave. If they didn't then we'd call the police.

The place I work is posted. Due to Corona, we now have the inner doors (this one with the signs) open. Somebody entering the facility will walk past the signs at an oblique angle with a mirror image. I've tried to explain to management that these signs are not enforceable. Am I correct?
I'm Security at this facility. I'm told to call the police and confiscate the weapon of anybody "Violating" the posting. Just wondering what the legal repercussions might be.
