Imagine someone asking prospective gay parents if they own gerbils.
Can anyone?
Marion Hammer is still on the job!
What I want to know??? Does the background check that foster and adoption agencies do on prospective households, report ownership or CCW licensing?
My wife and I are grandparents that were denied the ability to foster care our own grandchildren. We were shocked at the social worker attitudes toward us and wonder if firearm issues were made available to them from the federal background check. We were told we had a clean history, but did this trigger behind the scenes back stabbing? The written report had no mention of firearms but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t prejudice action being taken.
We have been waiting for more than a year now for an out of state court to give our son and his wife custody back and there seems to be no end.
Maybe we have a lawsuit waiting!
My wife and I were investigated by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services about 2 years ago, to become legal guardians. In the interview I expected to be asked if we owned guns but not one word was said about guns.
Um, because parents are supposed to have beliefs which may even be controversial. A government agency funded by tax dollars may not advocate or work against a particular political view.
The same answer given when someone seeks response to a speculation which would divulge classified information: "I can Neither Confirm Nor Deny that."

Q: "Do you have guns in your home?"
A: "NCND"
We know the discrimination inherent in today’s environment.
If someone asks if you have a gun, lie. Say, “No.”
A private agency has the right to ask any questions they want, and you would have a beef only if you can prove that answering 'yes' was a reason to deny the adoption. I had this question 20 years ago when I was going through the adoption process in Illinois. It was phrase in two parts; do we own a gun and if so, where do we keep it? They asked the same question about liquor, prescription medicines, and household cleaners. I took it as a safety issue rather than an anti-gun issue.
