The constables have ready access to firearms but because of the near constant presence of the police, especially in most cases where one might think to be armed for defense, they do not carry. Also, for the majority of the cases where they must make "physical" contact with a patient they do not want the wild card of a firearm thrown in.bluedog46 wrote: ...

IMHO, if they got the training and were authorized to carry a firearm by the Board of Examiners, then they should carry because it had been determined there was a need to do so. To do otherwise goes against the decision of the Board of Examiners.
BTW, a cop once told me Christiana Constables do not have Power of Arrest. But, obviously they would prefer the sheeple thought they did. Per DE Code they could have been given that authority, but according to the cop all they can do is call the police. I assume he knew what he was talking about, but have not verified it.
The bottom line is this: Christiana should not be concerned with armed law-abiding citizens open carrying. The bad guys will always have their guns with them... concealed, of course, and those are the ones they should be concerned with.
It's a calculated risk, but made very sensibly for the line of work they're in. While they do police the grounds, most of their efforts are focused on assisting incoming crews at the ER. Like EMTs and Fire Fighters, being armed is not in the best interest of assignments at hand.

just wanted to bump this up... sometime between last Thursday and Sunday, they added large signs to the ER doors saying "NO WEAPONS" with a drawing of a knife and pistol in the standard circle/line through it. Very visible, no chance of not seeing it like the old 4" sticker on a clear backing they had one of the doors.
I haven't checked to see if they have anything at entrance to the main hospital though.

I feel so much safer.
No criminal will bring a gun in since they follow those signs.
