A resident where SO works went into the parking garage and shot himself to death yesterday.
His biggest fear isn’t that he’s going to have to clean up dried tissue, blood etc. with the drivable concrete scrubber.
It’s that he gets met at the door by someone who thinks he’s in Nam waving a gun in his face. He already texted his manager to get guidance. I guess all the managers have to meet to decide what the guidance is.
For ppl with los in facilities, are there rules about guns, or taking them away?
Really doesn't matter, huh. No, no one entering any type of facility should be allowed to have a weapon of any kind, IMO.
What I worry about with your husband is there is a certain criteria that has to be met when cleaning up bodily fluids. Every year because I worked at a Visiting Nurse facility, I had to do a blood born pathogens class. Your husband should make sure he wears gloves and disposes of them in a red waste basket that says Hazardous on it. A mask too. There are cleaners that kill the germs without using bleach. They are used in ambulances. There should be procedures in place. If Osha comes in, they better have the info available they require.
P.S. there is a certain way to take off surgical gloves so you don't touch the. For xtra safety wash hands very well.

The osha classification is that there’s hazards of blood borne pathogens. I am fairly certain they provide adequate hazmat. It’s more the issue of how to balance individual owners—because they are—2a rights vs you know waving a gun at him
But this would probably be an individual facility policy or if it corporate run a corporation would have a policy on weapons. (and I think at this time most facilities have corporations backing them.)
I think if I were an employee, or a resident for that matter and was met at the door by a gun waving resident I would make a fast 911 call. And if the facility has a Color Code for Armed person that that code would be broadcast over a PA system.
If I were a resident and I found out that a neighbor to my Right, Left, Above or Below me had a gun I would be upset and request a move to another "safer" apartment.
There is a no gun policy. But like someone said, if you bring it in a box who will know?
