That's a good reason to live in rural Washington.

Yeah, my neighbors are shitty drug addicts, but, they leave the guy walking around with a holstered pistol alone.

I got a friendly wave from the local sheriff tonight.

I commonly walk into thrift stores in some of the roughest areas around while open carrying, never had any issues.

Most apparently have no business being unsupervised, and some are downright scary. I've encountered them with BO you could taste, I've seen them pissing down subway station banisters, I saw one carrying on an extremely loud, animated, and soon-to-be (I suspect if I'd stayed around to watch it) violent argument with a fire hydrant.
If you're open carrying a firearm and wearing muttonchops, people tend you leave you alone.

I speak on this from experience.

Indeed, they'd lock me away so deep my wife would have to ship me boxes of sunshine......

I thought HIPPA did not apply to medical records if the individual identifiers were stripped away, but maybe that only applies if you're actually involved in some kind of medical research, which we here are clearly not.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

An accidental release of medical information that can be linked to the patient in question is a year Federal and a $10k fine. For example, if I were to be fast-talked into resetting a password for the wrong person here at work. Five years for deliberate and 10 if you leaked them to make money. Ain't worth it to take the risk.

As my EMT instructor used to point out, "If they ever cure human stupidity, most EMS people will be out of a job."

And if they cure pure human cussedness, that will take care of the rest.
