True story: My daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia (She’s doing well). Among the screening questions the RN asked my wife and I was this:

“Do you have a gun at home?”

I answered: “Not yet - but thankfully my wife and I recently obtained are ‘License to Carry’ permits and we’ll soon remedy the situation...”

The look on her face was priceless.

Leftist demrats have been at this for years now. Many doctor and dentist offices have the question on that form you have to fill out when you visit them. The best response is no response. To wit: Do not say you have, have not and/or are getting a gun. None of their business.

“Do you have a gun at home?”

WTF?

Strange “screening” question to ask regarding a daughter with pneumonia.

I would have said "Of course. In my 2 story 4 bedroom house, you are never more than five steps away from a gun and they are all loaded and unlocked (or else they aren't much use now are they). In fact, as a concealed carry permit holder, I carry a loaded gun about 90% of the time (only except where prohibited) and I might just be carrying a loaded gun on me right now."

I'd like to see the look on her face after that.

I have been asked that same question by PAs in doctor’s offices. They lost me as a client. Immediately.

It is none of their business.

I would told nurse ratchet in no uncertain terms,
“None of your fu*kin’ business, your Nazi gun grabbing b*tch.” Then I would gotten really nasty.....

I live in Maine, where everyone is well-armed. They wouldn’t dare ask that question around here.

“Do you have a gun at home?”

The correct answer is "no," because you should have several. Also it's NOTDB.

"Do you have a gun at home?"

My recommended response, Why? Do you want to borrow it?

“Do you have a gun at home?”

"A gun at home? No; I have six."

“Do you have a gun at home?”

I prefer this answer - “Have you had sex with your significant other in the past week?” or “Do you watch porn movies?” or “Have you ever committed adultery?” or other very personal questions. If they are still too dumb to get the msg say it is NOYFB.

Never let the fact that you own a gun go into your medical records. If they can’t get your guns registered, they’ll still be able to find out who has them when zer0care kicks in.
