Where did you see one of their buses that was posted?

I asked them if blood theft was a real problem there.

If you happen to pass out while you're giving blood, how do you maintain control of your weapon?

If someone sucker punches you and knocks you unconscious, how would you maintain control of your weapon?

If you're maintaining situational awareness, how did you get into the position of being sucker punched?

I only saw signs posted at their Plano office (Parker and Ohio). I called their main number yesterday and was told all offices and buses are posted.
I gave blood this past weekend at the gun show at Market Hall and that bus was not posted.

Your not spider man. At least I dont I dont think you are. :lol: You arent 100% aware of everthing that is going around you 100% of the time.

My point was that one should not have to disarm because it is possible that you lose consciousness somehow.

Agreed as to the 100% sit awareness. But if you pass out, it's left to the blood bank staff to not only look after you, but figure out what to do (or not do) with a weapon.

Same if you slip and go lights out at Lowes, go unconscious after a wreck, faint anywhere because of a medical condition, etc. Someone else will possibly find out your carrying and will have to figure out what to do or not to do with your firearm.

Again, people should not have to disarm because it is possible that they lose consciousness somehow.

I wondered about whether they could post the bus, parked on someone else's property. I assume that we are talking about Carter BC. I have posed the question (was the bus posted?) to several who gave blood and have never gotten an affirmative answer. They are within their legal rights to post store fronts. I don't see how that they could go into a church, for example, and even put up temporary signs or drive onto a parking lot which might not even be owned by the same company as the surrounding stores and put up a sign on their bus. Assuming those are all valid assumptions, them posting their store fronts falls well short of "protecting" a lot of what they do.

They could post the coaches. They own them and they are their property. If they did, they would only apply to the coach and not to whoever's property they were parked on.

The last I had heard form several Carter employees is that they chose not to because the signs were too big to carry around with them on the coaches.
