And those who hang up particularly. I refuse to answer any questions over the phone. I just hang up. Yes, it makes things difficult at times but if I didn’t initiate the call or if the question has no relevance to the reason for the call, forget it.
Ever have a hunting license? Ever go through a background Check for a gun purchase? The info you tell your doctor is going to go up to big brother.
Would a "NO" to your doctor, in light of the fact that you have conflicting information result in a visit from the feds?
I don't know. But would that justify a early morning raid based on the fact that you lied?
Just wondering.
A few months ago I had to go the emergency room. When they were admitting me, taking blood pressure, temperature, etc, and the guy was typing on the computer and asking all these questions and he said to me, “Have you brought any weapons with you?” Without even thinking, (and knowing what they were going to have to do to me), I blurted out, “No. Should I have?”
I guess I’ll put all my guns in my truck when I go to the doctor.
Just like the people used to do in the old Soviet Union. That's what happens when the government becomes an oppressive tyranny with no respect for individuals or their rights.
Sad to see how quickly it seems to be happening here. When no one trusts the government, when laws are twisted or malleable, when no one has any trust or faith in common decency or morality, this is where it leads. Everyone becomes a criminal when their government goes off the rails and creates laws that violate the people's rights.
This is a hoax that has been floating around the internet for several years now.

That you Neville? Mr. Quisling? I give up-Please sign in.
yes, you can answer that question with that answer, honestly.
the following two responses work well.
1. for safety reasons, i do not discuss my personal security requirements with people i don’t live with.
2. immediately askcthe doctor how many weapons s/he has and how much ammo, and thenstart asking how many patients have they made iatrogenic mistakes on, and how many they’ve injured and killed over the years, how many lawsuits they’ve had, how much losses they’ve had to pay, etc. watch their reaction.
I try to make sure never to have “a” gun in the house.
“OBAMACARE AND THE MONKEY BEHIND IT CAN GO TO FUC**** HELL!”
Really?
I get so tired of people mistaking chimps for monkeys.
I would say show up uninvited at 1 am and find out
In general, I approve of honesty and am almost compulsive about it. However, when you are being robbed or otherwise attacked, there is no moral obligation to cooperate truthfully. The government and the medical community can no longer be considered friendly, and we should immediately and without shame lie in response to any question that is none of their business. If you’re there for heart/gall-bladder/physical/whatever, a professional has no business asking about peripheral issues such as firearms, and a free American has no business answering, at least not truthfully. If I am in a situation in which the police have a right to know (pulled over while armed), I will tell them. Otherwise, no one has a right to know unless they are shooting with me.
Note to the NSA: This is purely an academic comment. I have no firearms in my home.
1. Did I feel stressed? 2. Did I feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?
Practice, Practice,Practice.........at some point it becomes so routine that stress no longer enters the equation and one no longer feels threatened. And the “doing harm to someone” turns into self preservation....which feels Good !
Just say no I do not have just one gun in the house.
The correct response is, “You’ll have to open my door uninvited in order to find out what’s in the house...”
Do I feel stressed, threatened, or like I want to hurt someone?
No, but then again, I haven’t gotten your bill yet, either.
There are a few valid reasons to ask about firearms in the home, along the same lines as, “Your father’s dementia getting worse and his unpredictable hostility is concerning. If he keeps a gun in the home, that’s probably not a good idea anymore.” If you have firearms in the house, remember to make them chid safe, Johnny is going to start crawling soon.”
That said, the issue can be addressed without asking about ownership, and there is zero reason to enter ownership into a medical record.
Probably because you are on the national gun registry.
“Just say no.”
In general I agree, but down the road the forms will include a “perjury proviso” of some sort, saying that if you lie on the form it’s a felony. Gotcha both ways, when their computers tally up your “virtual gun ownership list” from your past purchases etc.
I would not put it past them to match up people who answer “No” with CC holders and then claim you must have lied.
