In Darby, Pennsylvania  this past week a psychiatric patient opened fire inside a small office inside Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital killing a caseworker and wounding a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist was able to draw his own weapon leaving the patient in critical condition with three gunshot wounds.


     Hospital policy prohibits staff from carrying weapons inside the facility. In some states it is considered a felony. This story had me asking the question: Should hospital employees be allowed to conceal carry while at work? As we can see in this tragic situation the psychiatrist was able to save himself and who knows how many others.


Next week I will be doing a post on concealed carry while wearing scrubs.
