I’d start giving his patients medical advice in his waiting room. After all, you’d be as qualified to give medical advice as he is to give firearms advice.

"..so I can hide them again.."

I have mine in a safe, but access it only rarely, so I don't have the combo memorized. I have it on a piece of paper, though.

Safe storage from the average 3-year-old.

I don’t think he liked me accusing the practice of a (professional) boundary violation, in asking the question they were asking, nor my pointing out their lack of training in general household safety.

I have found physicians in general to be big time boundary violators. When they get the power of the government (A la national healthcare) behind them, they'll be really scary!.

Remember Waco, it was about protecting the children.

If they ever erect a monument to irony, that would be the headliner.

They would have to carve a mountain for the trophy.

RWJF === gun grabbers; major funders of the Brady Bunch.

Also a major contributor to the "War on Drugs". It amazes me that there are still some freepers who are too stubborn to make the connection.

You should keep your guns, especially now that you have a wife and child to protect.

And on alcohol, and smokers, the list goes on and on.

It amazes me how many freepers not only don't see the connection, but support what RWJF does, on all of the issues.

The Second Amendment Sisters used to have a *.pdf brochure on dealing with pediatricians on this issue. I helped them clean it up a little (mostly formatting), early last year. I just looked, and can’t find it on their site. I’ve got a version here, but it’s not hosted.

I’ve pinged one of the SAS people.

More fearmongering aimed at rendering firearms ownership and the Second Amendment socially unacceptable.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and thus clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary" -- H.L. Mencken

If it isn’t loaded it is nothing more than a club.

that's what the cable lock is for- if you run outta bullets and need a club. don't mar your gun's finish, and run the risk of throwing off your sites.. use the lock. they make a great flail.

If a doctor asks me if I own guns, I will storm out of his office and report him/her to the state medical board.

Several years ago, I did have a survey by my PCP. I did not storm out. I just wrote "Suck" for a response.

I like my doctor. It was some HMO drone's, or some (spit) sociologist or activist somewhere in the bureaucratic chain's idea to have that question on there.

When somebody says, “None of your business,” I bet they put him down under the ‘No safe storage’ category.

I would wager the farm, that far more children (even NOT counting abortion) have died from doctors screw-ups , than from fire-arms, but of course we wouldn’t want to discuss that fact now would we?

We were allowed to make hunting knives in shop class too, but we couldn’t sharpen them at school. We had to leave the blade dull and finish that at home.

Leaving the blade dull was the rule but it was open to interpretation of what dull meant...lol
