With all of the police at any given hospital, it's interesting that this woman wasn't arrested and charged. Discharging a concealed handgun in a hospital? Just American things!

Also, I love how she lied about having a gun, apparently not understanding that they're about to walk into the most dangerous place on Earth to possess metal. Remember the buttplug MRI story? Like, these damn libruls are going to take my gun away if I tell them about it!

The only thing that can stop a bad MRI with a gun is a good MRI with a gun.

Even the MRI machines in America are armed

Sadly this isn't the first time. Years ago I read a story about a man who took his mother to get an MRI. While he was there his gun went off and killed her.

How did she sneak it in though? Usually aren't you wearing a hospital gown at this point?

No you can have them done in regular clothes. You'll typically only wear a hospital gown if you're staying in the hospital beforehand.

Anyone remember the “anal rail gun” from earlier this year? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mri-butt-plug-injuries/

“Be sure to not have any metal objects”
“Okay, just have my handgun”
