ID-shooting
Member
Back story, I am a medic at a federal hospital located on federal property. I was performing intake on a patient and when he took off his jacket to get on the scale I noticed an empty kydex holster on his hip. Assuming he left the gun in his car I waited till we were at my desk to complete vital signs and quietly mentioned to him that I was a shooter as well then suggested he remove the holster before one of our federal cops saw it and had a reason to search his car. Knowing that signs are clearly posted at the gate of the hospital and that no warrant is needed on federal property and that it would be federal charges I knew things would not go well for him if caught. He became very agitated and told me to mind my own business, using some colorful expletives.
I feel bad for offending the guy but didn't mention it again.
Was I right to try to let the guy know he was potentially setting himself up for failure?
