Meanwhile, let's not forget that hospitals have armed guards so this is still extremely rare.

OLOL didn’t when I worked there. When there was the whole serial killer scare in BR security at the hospital only had pepper spray. It was all rent a cops. Hell one time I asked for security to walk me to my car and some tiny very much pregnant woman was the security on staff that night. Felt like I had to protect her.


Hospital I work at has armed officers. But we also take care of inmates from some of the prisons on occasion.
