Sons of Anarchy/Big Knives in a Hospital?

Love SoA. Season 3 was amazing.

But yeah, I'm in SoCal and I've seen people open carry like that without hassle.

Season 3 started slow, but I can live with that since that finale was one of the best season finales in TV history...

Too bad the upcoming season is gonna be the last one(same with Justified, which is likewise disappointing)
 
It has run its course, be happy it won't be rub into the ground gadling for more seasons like many American shows do. IMO it probably would have actually been best a season shorter already.
 
our ER has a metal detector and security officers. You must empty your pockets and place everything in a basket just like TSA. But I am in Columbus OH not Charming. :)
 
Jimmy Smits has the only likeable character. I only watch Hamlet-with-motorbikes-&-machineguns to see them die.
 
CU Medical Center ER has a metal detector and visitors/patients must check knives at the door. I have visited many patients in the rest of the hospital, though, and never had problems with a pocketknife, pocket-clip knife, or Buck 112 on my belt. I have not carried a fixed blade there, though.

I will say that by Season 6, SOA is getting really formulaic, primarily because all of the characters are so stupid and amoral. I love the show, but how many times can we see these guys screw up, and then have Jax mutter "It's about faaaahhhhmily!" or "I gotta protect thah CLUHB"* just kinda gets played out. You can almost run a drinking game off that show. Every time someone gives Jax bad news and he's like "Jeeeeeezus CHRYST", take a drink! You'll be passed out like, two or three episodes in.

I'm on the second episode of Season 6, and I'm just kind of over it. Tig screws up and kills somebody...again! Tara does something that proves she's an absolute moron, despite being a medically trained doctor...again! Gemma backstabs someone, then threatens someone else...again! Jax has to go sort out a mess one of his crew caused...again! At this point, I'm watching the show, and hoping for something like Supernatural did, where it got super dumb and then pulled itself back into a decent plotline again.

Here's hoping!

Oh yeah! Take your time and enjoy it! I've never seen one episode that didn't have something to offer! Let me just put it this way.... If you watch all the episodes and build up to the season finale from last year - it . will . blow . you . away! Absolutely unbelievably shockingly awesome!

I wasn't all that pleased in the direction they went with it, but it is what it is and I guess we will all see what happens this year...

Yeah I know exactly what you mean......

It's getting very predictable at this point, lots of the same things going on over and over.....

And I think they killed off the wrong people....... ;)

Speaking of the Buck 110, I also like the series "Longmire." The title character often very prominently uses a Buck 110 for lots of things, it's pretty neat

I thought so to, and we were discussing that in the Buck forum, until somebody got a good screen capture and Longmire's folder turned out to be a Schrade LB7, not a Buck 110. :(

Just started season 3 myself... looking forward to it but I can see there's already too much "My kid is missing!" stuff going on... wish they hadn't done that.
 
I'm a fan of the show--that and The Walking Dead are the only two I follow... Looking forward to new seasons of both.
 
So I've never carried in a hospital but I've walked around downtown and along the beach with a fixed blade in full display on my belt. Sure, some people will look at me funny and others will give me lots of space on elevators or when I'm on the sidewalk, but it ain't illegal as long as you don't try to conceal it. Pocket knives though, you can conceal those or display them. Now, while I don't think it's illegal to carry a fixed blade on display in a hospital, I don't really know why you would want to. Hope that helps.

... nice necropost.

I work at a major teaching hospital in the Midwest. Our weapons policy forbids possession of dangerous weapons on campus by patients and staff. However, 'dangerous weapons' has a specific meaning under our state law, so the only knives forbidden under that definition are those that are 'designed or used as weapons.' Not much guidance after that, but some anecdotal evidence suggests essentially any folding knife is OK, and at least one clinic location has been specifically informed that a patient's large Buck fixed blade did not violate the policy.

But the policy's pretty vague, undoubtedly on purpose to allow for selective enforcement or nonenforcement.
 
I had to go to an ER in a pretty crummy part of LA after some friends were in a car accident, and it was like dealing with TSA. They actually made me go back to my car and leave the Leatherman Micra I had on my keys behind.
 
My local hospital in a near by city has a couple of those "no weapons" signs with a gun and bomb in a crossed out circle. I'm always reading on my phone when I walk past the doors, so I don't see them.... and besides my SAK is a tool. No one has ever cared when I have it on my belt, same with the two times I carried a Buck 110, for regular appointments.
 
State laws vary a lot, in our state the laws aren't very strict but the hospital has guards and metal detector. They confiscated my wife's tiny kabar dozier. I had to go back a week later and beg for it back.
