“The only answer is ... If that question was relevant to my healthcare or the issue that brought me here today I would give you an answer. It doesn’t so I won’t”

And the doctor’s response would be “thank you for your answer”, and he’ll check-off the box that says: “likely gun owner who reacts aggressively when asked”.

“My doc asks me about firearms, smoke alarms, if I wear a seat belt & other stuff that has nothing to do with why I’m there. No wonder he can’t see more patients, he’s taking dictation for the US Gov’t.”

You’re not the first to be grilled. And the single most dangerous lifestyle choice a person can make is STILL off-limits in a doctors office. That’s what a good lobbying ability can do.

“it was a joke- lighten up”

OK, sorry...

I just e-mailed my son. “In addition to looking at your doctor's medical credentials you also need to see if he is a NRA member. If he isn't refuse to answer any and all questions about guns and your life style. If he is selectively answer his questions. You are paying for his medical expertise not his political views.”

If I remember right, I think Abraham ‘justly lied’ when he said his wife was his sister (as did either Ruth or Esther I think? Maybe not)

I liek to reply

“I’m a Skin Head anarchist- do you honestly think I’d own a gun?”

[CottShop]

I’m preparign an answer when asked such intrusive questions that wil lgo somethign liek “Excuse me Doc, but are you liscenced in either psychiatristy or psychology?” “If not, then why am I beign given a mental health evaluation when I’m suppsoed to be ghere for a physical examinination?”

somethign along those lines

Privacy and Roe v. Wade ...

If we don’t have privacy any more due to Obamacare ... if gun control is legal, then abortion should be illegal.

That’s how I see it. No right to privacy, no “right” to abortion.

"Anyway, If you have a CCW, bought a hunting license, bought a gun in the last ten years or so, your on a "list"."

I was thinking the same. And if they do any cross-reference between the answers given to docs, and the list of registered gun owners, well, then what will they do regarding any discrepancies?
