Gun in hospital legal as long as NOT a handgun?

[boomerang]

What I'm really waiting for is a hospital that receives more than 51% of its revenue from licensed sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption, as determined by TABC.

For medicinal use only.

Well. I remember sometime in the 80's my sister was in a hospital in El Paso with a case of kidney stones. When I went to visit her I went into her room and there on a table was a six-pac of Coors. It had been prescribed for her to try to get her to the pass the stones. Must of worked because she got out a day or so later without an operation. Probably would not fly today.

I don't want to say it has happened, but I seem to recall a post about a 51% sign in Sherman, if that helps.

Lewisville hospital had one the last time I was there...maybe they sell that much isopropyl.

I seem to remember that there was some provision in the health and safety code (pre-1997) that required hospitals to post against (then illegal) CHL carry using a 51% sign. Apparently it may still be there, though it has no legal bearing.

I thought Steve R. might have heard of it...anyone?

Government Code 411.204 requires hospitals and nursing homes to post signs that are the same as the 51% sign EXCEPT for the red 51. But someone decided it was easier to find and use the 51 signs, so they went with what they could find. So some hospitals still have the signs posted and make it look like they are TABC 51% premises.

You cannot carry in hospitals with or without any type of signage. Please read the law directly and don't ask people what the law says. You can get yourself in big trouble. Also, if you want to help someone understand the law, please quote it and attach the link so it can be read by the readers in this forum.

If you want to quote the law, then quote it all because you FORGOT a very important section, section I that renders section B-4 without force and merit if section I is not followed and section I reads as follows

(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06

So that renders you wrong
