Not me... I saw those signs several times going in to visit my mom--this was pre-rona--and ignored them. What they didn't get to see never bothered anyone, but made me feel substantially better knowing it was with me the whole time.
Oh, this was usually at Community up by 82nd and 69 if that helps.

My reading skills are apparently diminished today as I couldn't figure out which of the responses thus far actually attempted to answer the question posed.
I think most everyone gave you a NO on that.
Sister was in a car wreck. Had her gun on her. They took it from her once she got to the hospital. It was placed at the security office. When she was discharged I went to the office and said. "I'm here to get [name]'s gun". The guy pulled it out of an unlocked cubby and handed it to me. No questions asked.
Depending on the hospital, it may or may not be able to tell visitors not to carry and enforce that request with trespass.
Depending on the circumstances, under federal law some hospitals are required to provide aid to emergency situations.
Apologies for the ambiguous answers to the ambiguous questions. C'est la vie.
What if it's a Glock 7 ?
Pfft. Ambiguous answers to ambiguous questions are putting my kids through college.
Anyhoo, whether or not someone here has that specific experience, legally speaking, it is possible.
You bring up an excellent point.

It's not quite as good as a Glock 7, but I'm thinking John Malkovich could make me a 2 shot from scratch.

Planned visit. Dress accordingly.
ER.... I don’t remember caring too much about the sign...

Depends on the hospital. Methodist and Eskanazi have criminal detention facilities in their ER along with metal detectors, so for those two, the signs do actually carry the weight of law.

That’s not “carrying the weight of law”. If your going into ER (As patient / unplanned) they can only confiscate for return. either way that’s not carrying the weight of law.
Trespass only comes into play after they demand you leave, if your the ER patient... that’s an interesting legal position - to turn away an emergency due to a dress code policy.
