Unless you know dozens of good lawyers in his area and need to narrow them down, it doesn't.
You could have easily said "I know a good divorce lawyer who's dabbled in firearms law, but that's it...." and provided a name and let the OP decide if it works for him or not.
If you know a lawyer who won't touch hospitals, but shoots trap with you on Fridays, give him a name and let him know the limitations, let him decide.
He doesn't need a perfect fit for his case, he needs the best fit in his area he can find. Give him the best ones you know.
I swear, sometimes on these forums someone could say "I hear glass breaking downstairs, can I grab a gun and investigate? " and it will start a caliber war and people won't answer till the OP answers questions about what guns he has available, how he should have picked different guns to have, and whether it sounded like the glass was broken wiht a bat or a frying pan.....
Glad I qualified my posts with "unless you know dozens of lawyers in his area" It sounds like you may be the first one here that can actually help him.
But what if it did sound like a frying pan was used to break the glass, still a .45 ?
I'm just afraid he may have been chased off completely by our initial response.
I feel so useless.As per Spat
"Either you know a name, or you can't offer the advice he was looking for."
Is he Cheech or Chong?Then ask for a 2A attorney reference. Don't give some half baked story about medical treatment.
That's like saying "anyone have a good DWI attorney? I was walking through hanaford and got picked up for shoplifting."
Maybe he could call their law firm/office and then they (The actual Lawyers who know what's BS or Not) could make that judgment ?I still don't know enough particulars to feel like I might suggest a lawyer. Why? Because I lived in or near the community where this all allegedly happened for a very long time. I am also familiar with the health care delivery system. And in particular that region. I know personally two attorneys that are good in the area. They are dedicated and diligent in their practice.
However, I am not about to send someone knocking on their door if there is any funny business going on. They are good friends and I would prefer not to send any BS their way.
That is why I asked for more information in regards to what the alleged incident is all about.
That said, I will leave this be.
Should have cleared it, sat it on the counter, and said "anyone besides another the LEO touches it and we'll arrest him, now I don't have a gun, treat my damn injury"My fathers a cop and a local hospital told an on duty cop that needed medical treatment they would not treat him because he had a gun on. One nurse there did not like guns. Let us know what happens. I'd love to know and good luck.

It gets complicated sometimes.I don't quite get what his issue is based on his post either.
Some local friends who are either volunteer firemen and EMT's, as well as local LEO tell me that when they run across someone in need of emergency medical assistance, and they find that they have a gun on them, that they simply note it, then secure it, and turn it over to the LEO on the scene, to hopefully be returned to the person later (assuming of course that it was legally owned and carried...).
Recently, I had to go in for urgent care due to a leg injury, and was carrying. When they had me undress and put on a gown, they told me I had to leave my clothes behind. I told them I could not do that due to a firearm. Since it was an X-ray, and not an MRI, the technician allowed me to keep my clothes with me throughout. No problem whatsoever.
I always carry even when visiting people in hospitals, - even those that are posted, as I understand that the no gun signs here have no force of law, unless they order you to leave or face trespassing charges. I'm sure if I were going in for scheduled surgery that I would leave my EDC at home though.
Yeah, the University / teaching hospital thing complicates it, especially with our poorly written and somewhat obtuse laws. It's probably going to take a test case in the courts to sort it out. I'd hate to be the guinea pig for that though.It gets complicated sometimes.
The largest hospital in the area by far, and the one you absolutely want to go to for anything complicated, or serious, is a teaching hospital. Legally that makes the hospital and grounds a part of the University of Rochester.
Many, maybe even most, of the other medical facilities in the area are part of the "University of Rochester Medical Center". I don't know what that means for their status though. It's hard to think an urgent care facility 20 miles away would count, but I wouldn't want to bet it doesn't.
I hope you find the lawyer you are looking for.My friends incident happened at an urgent care center, not a real hospital.
I don't know who's teaching nurses these days, but they need a good ass whipping and someone to smack them across the face with a copy of the Hippocratic oath !!!
My friend gave up after all the lawyers he contacted were either golf buddies of the owners, or afraid to take on the health care industry in a county that is riddled with anti gun judges. This isn't just a NY thing either, as I've read circumstances where a police chief was thrown out of one of these places too.Bored.
Any updates?
An urgent care isn’t an emergency medical facility. If you walk in there with a gun and they don’t want you there because of it, I highly doubt there’s any legal recourse.
I've seen some douchebag comments before, but this ^ takes the cake.^^^ This ^^^
and really... Did your friend die? If not tell him to suck it up and move on!
I guess you've never heard of the Hippocratic oath.An urgent care isn’t an emergency medical facility. If you walk in there with a gun and they don’t want you there because of it, I highly doubt there’s any legal recourse.
