Hmmm. If you are talking about Mayo in Rochester, isn't the place posted?

I know I saw no gun/weapons signs all over the place when last there a year or so ago. I am not sufficiently familiar with MN rules to know if those signs have validity as far as being enforceable--that is, getting arrested if found to be in violation.

Yes, MN is nice in that the license is good for both types of carry, but what about obeying the signs?

I have a CC license in Ky and open carry is perfectly legal. My concern is always the old story of a horses behind who thinks it will be "macho" to rag someone with a gun.

I'm curious too. I dont recall any postings, but then again it was a while ago, and I wasnt paying much attention to that sort of stuff while I was there.

Mayo Clinic Rochester was very clearly posted when I was there in Oct 2008. Again, I have no idea if those signs mean anything legally in MN since I'm not from there.

It is always a good idea to look around before you enter a facility like that because most of the time it will be posted and often it is a matter of law that it is a gun free zone as well.

Mayo Clinic-Rochester was posted back in about 2003-2004 or so. Hasn't been posted for 4 years at least, I don't recall exactly even though I'm in a number of their buildings at least weekly.

You are mistaken, Hopyard, I am certain that Mayo Clinic-Rochester was not posted as recently as 2008. I live four miles from their front door and know these things....

I am constantly surprised by how many people say nobody notices their OC gun. Did the entire population go blind when you strapped on your gun? If they look in your direction and your gun is in view of course they notice. Don't you? They may appear not to notice for one reason or another but they do see a gun in plain sight.

No OC in Florida, but we go a few time a year to ride in the mountains of North Georgia staying with a friend; she is from Chicago and typical liberal; it was getting chilly, I removed my vest to put on my jacket; that's when she came out to chat.
The Glock was in full view while I was digging the jacket from the saddlebag and stayed that way for a few minutes.
The next day at breakfast, the conversation came on the rise of crime in the area and I stressed it was a good thing to be armed; the closest house from she lives is miles away.
That's when she asked me if I owned a gun.
I had similar experiences in Virginia, had to OC to be in a restaurant (the law)
No, most of the sheep don't notice.

Sadly, most of the flock goes about blissfully ignorant of what passes in front of their eyes.

This is my first post. Is OC legal in Colorado?. If I'm carrying CC and my gun becomes exposed is this a crime? What if it prints?

Hopyard

Hmmm. I know what my eyes saw Oct. 20008. Maybe it isn't the legally required signage, don't know.

Can't explain the difference in personal observation. Another example of why eyewitness testimony is always iffy. Here we have two presumably honest people posting two different versions of reality. One of us is wrong. We need a third observer.
