Pellet Gun Triggers Alarm at PGRH

Thursday, July 05, 2007 11:45 AM

Prince George RCMP were called to Prince George Regional Hospital this morning after it had been reported someone believed they had spotted a handgun in a purse being carried by a woman.

The woman was near the ambulance entrance of the hospital, and was suprised when RCMP showed up on scene. Turns out she had a pellet handgun in her purse, and had intended on giving it to her cousin, but forgot she had it when she went to the hospital.

Police say the pellet gun was confiscated, and the woman was advised having such an item on hospital premises was "inappropriate." There won't be any charges laid.

The actions taken by the police in this case were entirely appropriate. The woman, should she wish, can retrieve the pellet gun from the police at a later date. To have done nothing and allowed her to go on her way with what looked like a real handgun in her purse would have just spawned additional complaints should she have gone shopping, or maybe to the bank?

At least if anyone got shot, they would be in the right place to have themselves fixed
