    I agree that’s what they want you to answer, but you can’t move it to a safe location without handling it, so C necessarily entails D. Unless there’s a designated firearm handler in the ER you can call over, which to be fair, maybe there should be.

      If you are at a hospital in the hood they probably have armed security. The ones in the city nearest me certainly do. One would hope they know how to safely handle a firearm as well as have some manner of secure storage someplace, so that’d probably be their department. At least until the cops inevitably get involved.

      You’re being too pedantic about wording. The right answer is to make it most safe while minimizing the chance of it accidentally firing. Simply moving it to a locked room down the hallway is the best way to achieve that.

        Unless you pass by a “good person with a gun” seeing you with a gun and killing you because you’re carrying a gun on the way.

        The only answer is to leave the gun where it is without touching it, exit the room with the patient, lock the door from outside, leave the building yourself, light a cigarette, forget about whatever the problem was, go home, because they aren’t paying you enough to get shot on your job
