Back in 1991 a man took hostages at Alta View Hospital in Sandy, Utah, killing one nurse in the process. After the incident doctors and nurses began seeking Concealed Carry Permits in large numbers. It became an "open secret" at the time that while CCPs were harder to come by in those days the applicants were also advised by law enforcment officials that carrying without one was only a misdemeanor.
