The room was full of pregnant women with their partners. The class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe and was telling the men how to give the necessary assurance to their partners at this stage of the pregnancy. She said "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier." Just take several stops and stay on a soft surface like grass or a path. She looked at the men in the room, "and Gentlemen, remember -- You're in this together -- It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. The room suddenly got very quiet as the men absorbed this information. Then a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand. "Yes, answered the Instructor. "I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?? ---- This kind of sensitivity just can't be taught..

Same here except I also carry a pocket knife, a pen light, iphone, smokes, Snus, and some OTC meds,(Tylenol, ranitadine, Tums) for personal use. My POV is loaded down with enough stuff to survive a natural disaster. Not because I'm a "Whacker", but because I live on a major fault line and I expect there to be a natural disaster. Being over zealous may be a bad thing, but being prepared is not.

In order to get into our local airport to do medivacs we have been given a key to the locked gate. Maybe talk to the local ambulance and see if they would concider carring one for emergencies. Im not to sure how small of a place you come from.

This is a great question, and your answer is: it depends. There is something in the law called the "Emergency Exception" (relating to emergency responders entering private property without the consent of owners when there is a verifiable emergency). It depends on your state what the exact limitations and the statues, but I'm pretty sure every state has one of these. In addition, the facility may have some sort of Emergency Action Plan (EAP) with local emergency crews. It depends largely on where you are, and what kind of facility it is (is it large, prone to emergencies, ect), but many places will establish an EAP with first responders in case of emergencies. For example, in my area the local schools, malls, and assisted living homes have EAPs with us, so we'll know where to go in the event of an emergency, who can get us access into places, and so on. However, it's very possible (and unfortunately, probably also probable) that your facility doesn't have one of these, or is capable of getting one (not every facility is "worthy" of coordinating an EAP with local first responders, and most agencies would rather not bother). We can still find ways of getting into the gate. I actually carry a battering ram in my bus (laugh at me all you want, call me a whacker, whatever, I'm prepared). And btw, if there is an emergency, we probably won't be the first on scene. I'm sure somebody will be there calling 911 and holding the gate open for us when we arrive.
