FYI, I am passing this along...there are comments from two other people I have also been asked if we keep guns in the house. The nurse just kinda slipped it in along with all the other regular questions. I told her I refused to answer because it was against the law to ask.
Everyone, whether you have guns or not, should give a neutral answer so they have no idea who does and who doesn't. My doctor asked me if I had guns in my house and also if any were loaded. I, of course, answered yes to both questions. Then he asked why I kept a loaded gun close to my bed. I answered that my son, who is a certified gun instructor and also works for Homeland Security, advised me that an unloaded, locked up gun is no protection against criminal attack.
The Government now requires these questions be asked of people on Medicare, and probably everyone else.
Just passing this along for your information: I had to visit a doctor other than my regular doctor when my doctor was on vacation.. One of the questions on the form I had to fill out was: Do you have any guns in your house?? My answer was None of your damn business!!
So it is out there! It is either an insurance issue or government intervention. Either way, it is out there and the second the government gets into your medical records (as they want to under Obamacare) it will become a major issue and will ultimately result in lock and load!!
Please pass this on to all the other retired guys and gun owners...Thanks, from a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer: I had a doctors appointment at the local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting that I would like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions:1. Did I feel stressed? 2. Did I feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?
The nurse then informed me, that if I had answered yes to any of the questions, I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security.
Looks like they are going after the vets first. Other gun people like retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the civilians, what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware. The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner, veteran or not, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED !
If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. Be very cautious about what you say and to whom.

This was passes along to me...

Yup, never answer questions like that and be suspect of ALL authority.

My son's doctor had that question on a form, along with questions about "do you have a pool?" "do you have cleaning chemicals in your home?" blah blah blah blah. Nonna their damn beeswax!
 
I just read this to my wife and she said "yea, I know. Abby (our daughter) pediatrician has asked that question alot. I tell them it is none of their business".

Looks like my wife is ahead of me.
 
I have never seen that questions. Pediatrician or GP. What kind of doctor are you going to for that to even be asked.
 
Never had those questions asked either. My first response would likely be, "What the F**K does that have to do with me and my hemorrhoids"?
 
This has been going on for a long time. The AMA is behind lots of it and has been for decades. Back in 1999, a doctor named Robert J. Woolley, researched the AMA's anti-gun position and published a paper called "The AMA, Firearms, and Intellectual Dishonesty". I don't know if it's available on line anywhere, but I have an electronic copy.

Dr. Woolley's conclusion was:

The AMA has lent its name, logo, prestige, and funding to the production of "educational" information for its members and their patients (the booklet includes a tear-out sheet to give to them) which is scientifically unsound, politically biased, and intellectually dishonest. It is an embarrassment to have a professional association which declares itself dedicated to science produce a publication that falls so short of basic academic tenets of honesty and fairness. The authors of the Physician Firearm Safety Guide clearly believe that their point of view would not be persuasive if they presented the evidence in an even-handed manner and allowed their readers to evaluate the evidence on their own. AMA members might consider whether they approve of their dues being spent to produce propaganda that so insults their intelligence.

He is referring to the "Physicians Firearm Safety Guide" which is a typical anti-gun piece of propaganda. I've seen it and it's full of the same old nonsense put forth by the anti-gun terrorists for years. Oddly enough, I hear gun owners reciting some of the same nonsense from time to time. It baffles me.

Just because a doctor (or anyone else for that matter) asks a question, doesn't mean it needs to be answered. Before I moved to SC, my son's doctor in VA asked this question. My response was "Do you have any pornography in your house?" Guns were never talked about again.
 
Yep, seems pretty standard on pediatricians list, both my wife and children old enough to know what they are being asked, know the proper answer to that question.

That would be my response as well although I don't have hemorroids. :shock: I've never been asked those questions.
 
Did some research and it seems to be something Pediatric doctors are asking folks to make them aware that guns can be dangerous around their small kids (really?) apparently, some people did not know this.
