  1. Good video Kenny. While a nurse way back when that came across ER a few times. We would call the local cop shop and have them secure it and if I was on duty, I logged it in the patients chart and also required a receipt from the officer regardless of them being conscious. I always took a copy of that receipt and placed it in their chart as well as the officers name and where they were taken it too.

  2. If a cop loses or destroys your weapon, at least in California, they owe you $50 regardless of how much the firearm was worth.

  3. Might want to hang onto it to discourage forced vaxxing....

    1. For real...
      Friend of mine was in the hospital over the summer due to heat stroke. Nurse read his chart, un-vaxxed, went and got a needle... Thank Goodness his girlfriend was there to prevent them: they were going to inject him with it while he was unconscious. No consent, not even informing him (he was out, unconscious from the heat stroke).

  4. My advice- unload it and try to give it to the paramedics. We are typically more 2A friendly than the hospital folks. I carried many pts CCWs for them in my narcotics safe back in the ambulance days.

  5. Good video, but he seems fixated on CCs always being in a holster, mentioning it several times, but some of us never ever use a holster, but always have our little friend in the back pocket of our jeans.

    If I am ever in that situation, I hope that I am conscious, even if injured, so that I can make sure that a cop on the scene can give a receipt for the weapon, so I don't awaken later and find that it simply disappeared, with everyone claiming that they have no idea where it went.....

    And on another, but related note, Alaska has Constitutional CC, so as long as you're not a felon, you have no requirement to possess a CC permit.
