Hello! It's been awhile since I've posted. I thought this experience called for a posting!
A little background on what happened:
I had a doctors appointment for a possible kidney infection.
I carried that day in my purse.
So I get to my appointment and they asked me to leave my things in a room and go to the restroom for a urine sample. I was hesitant to leave my things but I put my purse down and placed my coat on top of it. I left, took care of business and when I was done they had changed my room. So they moved my stuff.
I walked into my new room to see my purse clip had come undone and my purse was open (barely displaying my pistol.) As the medical assistant left my room she said, "I'm sorry I had to move your stuff but I did not see anything inside your purse." Odd thing to say right?
So the medical assistant quickly left the room and for the first time ever my doctor checked my blood pressure, tempeture and all the things the medical assistant usually does. BUT my doctor did not come into the room solo, she had another doctor in the room with us the entire time.
It was very strange and akward. Do you think I should have said something to clarify my right to carry? What would you have done?
A side question is I use a holster when I carry in my purse but I have another purse that has a zipper that is easy to get open...could I carry using that purse without a holster? The zipper pocket isnt large enough for the holster too. My pistol is dual action as well and the trigger is kind of hard to pull so I would think it would be ok? Let me know!
