Memorial Hospital, Chattanooga

[SomeGuy]

Went by to visit someone, and noticed an obscure little sign saying (not a perfect quote) 'This facility prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons' and had a gun with a slash, and a knife with a slash.

I am not sure that the sign is legally valid (do to wording in particular, but not excluding its lack of prominence), but we at least know the intent.

I called it an obscure little sign, because this was not my first trip to the Hospital, but this WAS the first time I noticed it.

John (or any other lawyers), do you think the sign is legally valid, based off my description? If it isn't, then I can just ignore it, but if it may be, then I will likely write a letter, see what good it may do. I do not want to write a letter and have them put the correct signage up, assuming the current one is not valid.

Last year a friend was in a car wreck, and was taken to Memorial (on Citico Ave not Northpark). I met him in the ER and got his pistol so he could go to x-ray. He had asked security if they needed to take custody of his weapon, but they said since I had a permit he could just give it to me.

I have noticed that the Northpark facility has the legal posting though.
