C is okay but why are we not allowed to put the safety on and safely remove all of the ammunition.
The general risk assessment is that medical personal don’t know as much about firearms as Law enforcement - and LEOs don’t know much. Besides, you generally have other things to do that are more important than causing a negligent discharge in the ER.
I don’t trust leaving it behind a desk counter or in a cabinet with bullets in it, personally, I feel like that’s the more dangerous option.
IF you run across a firearm on a patient, (which is really isn’t a common thing), it gets placed in a lockbox and then locked into a “safe room”. Chances are good there be a cop there in a short order anyway due to the patient having been shot by a gun.
I honestly didn’t know that, I tend not to live my life in a way that would preclude me being shot or being around folks who will shoot someone. Thanks for the info! :)
The overwhelming number of tend to live like you also. It’s a just a few of us that make a choice to have to deal with such less than savory people.
