Scott,

On the lock-box, you will only put it in the box when you are leaving the vehicle to go to a prohibited place. Otherwise you will have it accessible at all times.

Even though we CAN carry without a license, I suggest you go through the classes. They are quite informative on the law (primary purpose) and they do a life fire check to make SURE that you can hit the broad side of a barn.

of the 8 hour class, 4 hours are telling you what you should not do, 2 hours are selling you concealed carry insurance and 2 hours getting everyone to fire pistols/revolvers at the range. It is good to know the law AND to know what will happen IF you have to use your pistol.

I _THINK_ they eliminated the "revolver only" license. At one time, if you brought a revolver, they gave you a "special" limited license, revolver only.

Again, I would have a talk with the hospital security. Arrange a place for safe storage. I had to go to Port of Houston and make a delivery. I had my pistol with me. They had a "no firearms" policy. I said fine, where would you like to store my pistol? They had security store it. You can work it out.
