Re: Bedford Police Chief answers re: CHLer arrested at hospital

Bottom line, As an employer if I tell an employee that you are not to carry weapons on company property, it is in your best interest not to do so. At minimum you will be fired. Here is a case where the employee works in a psych ward. Common sense says you don't carry there. If they dont even allow the LEO's to carry there what the hell makes someone with a CHL think they can?
My employer doesnt even allow weapons anywhere on the property, not even in your car. If you are caught you had better have your resume ready because you will need it. I don't agree with it, but there is no law that says I am forced to work there, I work there and abide by their rules.
I have seen many posts where we get caught up on proper wording. Folks I don't want to be the test case, if the INTENT of the owner is to ban weapons either disarm or don't patronize the business, very simple. Personally I don't patronize the business and I tell whoever the manager or owner is that is why I am doing it. I actually had a guy tear down his sign after I made him understand the only people he was keeping out were law abiding people, the thugs will carry regardless of the signage.
As far as wording, and I am no attorney, the court could look at the letter of the law vs the spirit of the law. If the intent was to not allow weapons and a reasonable person could understand the intent regardless of the wording you might be in trouble.

I am an ex cop, I firmly believe in the right to keep an bear arms.
