Sounds like time to find a new dentist.
Just for info, I went to rhe dentist for a cleaning and noticed a no weapons sign in the window by the door.
What do they consider a weapon? I'm sure there are a few "sharp objects" in a dentist office that you and I would consider a weapon.
FYI I've looked and looked through WA RCWs (I realize you are in OR) and I've found that there is no RCW against carrying a firearm in a building that has a sign for no firearms. To me, this is how I read it...
If the business says you can't have a red T-Shirt on, and you do, and decide to go into their business they cannot call the police and charge you with wearing a red T-Shirt in a posted no red T-Shirt zone because no such law or ordinance exists. However, they can ask you to leave the establishment and if you refuse you are tresspassing. Now, I have no idea about Oregon laws, but I do know that if they create such a law then the business has to adhere to certain regulations for the sign (size of sign, location, etc.). They just can't put it in fine print on the bottom of some emergency exit and expect you to know it...get it? I know some states have laws about the size of the sign, what has to be on it, how high it has to be, etc. Again, I have no idea about Oregon, but WA has no such regulations (that I could find) and reading RCW 9.41.300 has led me to believe that although businesses have the right to refuse you service and ask you to leave by not obeying their rules, there is no law against it.
If you carry concealed and they happen to find out you are carrying and call the police, what are you going to be charged with? Having a firearm in a posted no firearm zone? If no such law exists then you have nothing to worry about except having to find a new dentist after it is all said and done.
Come on,he gives you gas and some pain killers and then a bill for $2500 and you think he wants you to have a gun?
I'd have a no gun policy too.
yeah i want to be in a dark room full of strangers unarmed lol
TYpically they have you leave - or if you do not it is trespassing?
But I wonder - If you pushed it and was caught - would Kaiser drop you because you did not follow their rules.
Be careful of how you address it.
