There have been laws passed on this subject in Florida, always to the great consternation of liberals and gun control advocates, but it remains an open question in much of the country. Should your doctor be asking you during the course of a routine check-up whether or not you or any family members have a gun in your house? And what if they do just come out and ask? Ben Guarino at the Washington Post brings us some information about a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine which suggests that nothing should hold doctors back from inquiring. You know… just for your own good.

Best answer: “No, but I own a copy of the U.S. Constitution.”
Great response, I will have to remember that.
“No.”
A doctor should never waste time asking an irrelevant question. An American should never take the risk of answering truthfully when asked a politically-motivated question - just say “no”. A sensible person should find a new doctor (after being forced to lie about guns to the current doctor who engages in nosy pro-tyranny behavior).
My doctor told me about taking a concealed carry class in Arizona. Then he told me he thinks anyone who doesn’t have a doesn’t have a gun to protect his house and family is an idiot.
My answer is and always will be NO.
No guns, Doc. Rifles and pistols are another matter.
A California anti-gun sociopath named Garen Wintemute is behind this.
I routinely get asked this by the pediatrician. I’ve asked why they would want / need to know this. They say it is a public health and safety issue like car seats (they ask about car seats also.) I’d love to know a way to answer without answering or having my family file flagged for future use by the gestapo....
You’re not under oath. It’s satisfying to say ‘none of your business’, but on the other hand if you use health insurance your medical records are open to the Feds. If you say ‘NO!’, you’ll be flagged in at least one database as a non-owner, which can’t be a bad thing these days.
LOL, only seconds apart. 😃
My kids pediatrician ask me, in front of my then 10 -year old daughter if we kept guns in the house. My daughter has been shooting with me since she was about 8. Before I could answer, and during the pause whilst I contemplated, she piped up, “What does that have to do with my sore throat?”
“If you think a gun infected my child, I am in the wrong office.”
This is the same BS as the “union of concerned scientists” (aka communist sympathisers) who advocated doctors push anti-usa cold war propaganda.
The goal is to make normal citizens feel guilty and capitulate to the anti-usa agenda of these so called doctors.
You can simply answer “no” because as they teach in the Army, a “gun” is a piece of artillery. Things that shoot bullets that you can hold in your hands are “firearms”.

Give a non-answer answer, and turn the question back on him.
‘Aren’t those bad for your hearing? Are you saying you think I have a problem with my ears?
They are welcome to ask if I own firearms.
There are several options presented for a response
1) lie
2) refuse to answer
3)find a new physician.
The choice of the above, is dependent on the individual and their relationship with that physician.
Where I get into a problem with this, is not that it is a frame of reference for my physician, but that it is the government compelling my physician to inquire, and then compelling him to report my responses.
My old Dr. who retired around 10 years ago, had “American Rifleman” in his waiting room.
My current one has several such as “Outdoor Life”, “Sports Afield” Some state outdoors magazines and several military mags.
I have never asked him but it is pretty obvious.
I’m a doc. I’ll never ask. Most won’t.
