I'm not sure. In Gadsden, they have a sign, but no detector, so I figure no one will know, so I carry. But here, they have a detector and a guard. What requirements do they have to meet to disallow cc?

Same thing at Babtist East in Montgomery. In 2014 when my son was born I went to our car after hours to get my wife's bag and I had to enter through the ER and I had a gun and Knife. They would not let me in even after I put them in the car. I was flipping out because I couldn't get back inside to my wife. I finally had to call her room and get the nurse to get me back in the building to be with my wife. I walked through the front door 4 times with no problems but the ER was a different story. I hate ERS.

Huntsville hospital ER has had a guard and metal detector for at least 5 years. They busted me with a pocket knife in 2011.

Haha! I was having surgery at Brookwood in B'ham about 10 years ago. I was lying on my back getting ready to go back into the O.R. and forgot I had my pistol in my pocket. They called security and they escorted my wife outside with it so she could put it in the car. They acted like they had never seen anyone carry before.

What was their reason for not letting you in AFTER you took your evil weapons to the car?

When I first retired I worked Baptist East Security for a year. After hours you have to go through the ER and that includes the metal detector. If it had been just a knife they would have logged it and given you a receipt and kept it for you. They will not keep a gun however. Normally, once you put the items in your car, they let you in. Maybe your "flipping out" had something to do with it. If the nurse let you in the front door without authorization from security she was jeopardizing her job. If she persuaded security to let you in, you were lucky. They have absolutely no control over security and they did you a favor. No one there wanted to keep a man from the birth of his child, but they have very strict guidelines they have to follow and medical personnel tend to be freaked out over guns anyways. You would understand if you saw the level of emotions in an ER. It wouldn't take much for someone to snap.

I stayed a children's hospital with my wife and 2 year old daughter for about two weeks , my daughter almost died numerous times and I was stressed beyond belief . Well I couldn't have my pistol( thank god now ) and one morning while walking to McDonald's I had a black guy on a pink bicycle try to rob me , I swear if you never seen a man whoop another man with a bicycle you don't know what your missing . My daughter is 10 now and doing fine . This post reminded me of this , I guess you suppress certain things .

If they have in-house mental care for patients, it's prohibited to carry there.

If it's private property they don't have to meet any requirements, but if it's state funded they have to have an armed guard posted at the entrance, entrance has to be limited to select personnel during operating hours through use of a turn-style/keypad/etc, signs must be posted.

Here is the AL code:

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), a person, including a person with a permit issued under Section 13A-11-75(a)(1) or recognized under Section 13A-11-85, may not, without the express permission of a person or entity with authority over the premises, knowingly possess or carry a firearm inside any building or facility to which access of unauthorized persons and prohibited articles is limited during normal hours of operation by the continuous posting of guards and the use of other security features, including, but not limited to, magnetometers, key cards, biometric screening devices, or turnstiles or other physical barriers.
