My General (Family) doctor retired about 5 years ago. So I located another and had to fill out a New Patient Questionnaire. There it was midway down on the second page . Do you own any firearms? Surprised, Shocked, and just at a loss of how me owning or not owning guns could possibly play any role in my treatment for whatever may ail me at a general doctor. So I'm sitting there filling out paperwork in a crowded waiting room with my primary 9mm at 4:30 and my LCP Gen 2 in my back left pocket. So of course I didn't check either box, I wrote in big bold letters NOYB!!! and underlined it. I was actually there for a annual physical, so I new we would be talking about my guns at some point. So we got to the disrobe part of the visit and I ask where could lay my pistols and the doctor without even blinking just point to a counter to the left. It's not all doctors it's the AMA and they are extremely anti-gun.

Never been asked about guns by doctors.

However I had a rando dude in the checkout line at 7-11 ask me point blank if I was carrying yesterday. I returned a WTH look, he made a "gun" with his index finger and thumb and pointed it at me. I kept him in my FOV, paid for my coffee and GTF out.

I guess an OPSEC reeval is in order to deal with these types of shenanigans. The planet is pretty Fd.

This topic reminds me of a ridiculous flirty question I would ask chicks back in the day. It is hilarious!

Question: How many kids do you got and is your man in jail? hahahhahaha

You would be surprised at the answers received.
You also be surprised at the non-answers received.
Finally, you would be extra surprised when they would get startled, confused, or even a little pissy because you apparently discovered some secret aspect of their life that you somehow knew about hahahahaha.

That ridiculous question would tell me more about a girl than could be logically conceived hahaha.

So if a doctor asks me the same firearm question I know what question I'm replying with hahahaha just gotta replace "man" with "wife/girlfriend" in some cases

Answer: I did, but they were all lost in a tragic boating accident...

I was asked by a doctor if I owned a firearm. I answer honestly "I do NOT own a gun"

But I do own several.

Has anyone thought to ask why they're being asked?

Dr.: Do you keep firearms at home?
Me: How much liquor do you keep at home?
Dr.: That isn't relevant to your exam.
Me: Neither was your question.
Conversation Over..

the last time I went to my Doctor she showed me pictures of her and her husband's latest AR 15s.

It’s relevant for suicidal patients. Otherwise not relevant. The AMA favors strict gun limits and they weaseled that question in as standard of care. I was asked this a year or so ago at pediatrics office when I took my youngest in. I decline to answer. My wife probably tells them if she takes a kid in.

Every time I was asked that question either Face to Face or in a Questionnaire I always said "None of Your F#@king Business". I didn't care if it was a male or female asking me that question, I would look them right in the eye and tell them that.
