Delete comment from: The War on Guns
Having been a nurse in an ER, I can tell you that the staff is extremely vulnerable. Many of the people brought in by police are very, very dangerous and the police are seldom really willing or able to control them enough to alleviate that danger.
Not that I'd want to be carrying a gun in my scrubs, actually... too many retention issues. But hospital security should certainly be armed and maintain a serious presence in most emergency rooms.
