Reading your post, I just thought of another great response if you have an anti-gun zealot doctor asking the questions:

I’m sorry Dr., but talking about guns when I’m here for a sprained ankle kind of gives me the creeps.

I really don’t care what premise they use, I like to use my “play dumb” card in these situations rather than my “forcefully exercising my rights” card. It goes a lot farther.

not a bad idea

I agree the “forcefully exercising my rights” card isn’t the preferred way to go about it. I don’t like the lying approach either. If we let our govt force us to start lying to our doctor then how far are we willing to let them push us.

I had a nurse start asking me questions last time at the Dr’s, starting with the seatbelt question.

I said, “I’ll answer that one, but no more, thanks.”
