Do you have guns at home?

[Louchia]

Just read and article in Freedom magazine (NRA) pointing out that some activist doctors may begin asking if you have guns at home when you go in for a medical visit.
This bit of info goes into the electronic data base that doctors now send all your info to.
In my opinion, it's in no way any of their business. I think that rather that answer "yes" or not answer the question, the answer should be, without hesitation, "no , I do Not".
I would guess that all on this forum would feel the same.

That's not relevant to a medical examination and would be my answer.

You could jump up from the table, grab your crotch and yell "this is my gun" and start laughing like a maniac. Then tell him that basic training has scarred you for life.

Wouldn't be the first time I lied to my doctor.

My doctor and I are close friends and fellow gun enthusiasts!
I wonder how the idiots and their survey would feel about that?

 

[Muss Muggins]

My reply: "Do you?"

(I have told the wife and kids to answer the same way if it comes up)

I don't need to worry about it. I take the Rafe Hollister view of doctors:
"When I was born I had my Momma, when I die I'll have the undertaker.....don't see any need to mess things up in between".
We need more guys like Rafe.

I would say no,as far as I know it's not against the Law to lie to the Doctor.

Do you have guns at home?

Why Doc? What are you looking for?

 

[G-Mac]

They've been asking kids for years now if their parents have guns in the home.

 

[shouldazagged]

I've never been asked. I trust I never will be. After you leave seventy-five behind, I doubt they care unless you're overtly suicidal or homicidal. The more of us old guys croak the better, from the perspective of health insurers.

Easy solution, JUST SAY NO.......I know doctors in my area in NY
are required to turn you in if you are proscribed sleeping aides ,pain meds or anxiety drugs.....If you have a pistol permit in NY and are prescribed these meds. You may lose your permit, But your allowed to be an alcoholic....

"DOC, I own so damn many guns that I designed my home to accommodate them"

 

[rdcl]

Before I gave my answer .....the first thing I'd do is ask the doc if he has guns in HIS house.

......I'd pose the same question to the receptionist, the nurses and anyone else in the office.

Well... MY doors are locked for YOUR protection, so you figure it out.

In all seriousness, it's an irrelevant question brought about by a communist agenda of which I refuse to comply with, so the short answer is NO.

 

[Rustyt1953]

Mine were all lost in that terrible boating accident.

All 5 of my doctors are CCL holders. Don't think it will come up.

If it does, I've got proof:

Stupid question in return...So Doc have you stopped drinking? Do you use your gun when you drink. Kiss my big toe.

 

[Watchdog]

Do you have guns at home?

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Does a bear...well, never mind, you get the idea. Don't you?
