First time I was asked that question by my doctor’s nurse I gave her a short lecture on the 2nd amendment and told her it was none of her business. When the doc came in I did the same and he was pretty sheepish, said he was a hunter and didn’t like that question either. They haven’t asked me since. They also used to ask me whether I was abused in the home to which I would respond that I was a trial lawyer and what did they think. They don’t ask that question either. I just considered it a teaching moment.
and now publik skoolz are prying too
I don't recall that being in the Hippocratic oath.
Just say no. Is it illegal to lie to your health provider? Maybe not yet, but wait for single payer.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
We’re you trying t o say that it’s a given that trial lawyers were abused as children? That would explain a lot, indeed.

Just say no. It’s none of your doctors business.
The Veterans Affairs health providers ask it at every turn recently. I’ve been using that system most of the time since 1983 and I was never asked about firearms until a year or two ago. Why doesn’t this administration trust veterans?
The proper response all all this prying about guns, and habits is to give them the replies they want.
Do you own guns? No
Do you drink, smoke? No
Just lie.. and make their little big brother program a bunch of useless data.
The overwhelming majority of doctors do not want to be Obama’s gun grabbing spy deputies. However, an overwhelming number of trial lawyers provide aid and comfort to gun grabbing Democrats. Hate a lawyer, if you want to.
None of your business doc. If I’m ever asked. Never have been yet.
I would probably give him a lecture on the constitution if pressed further.
The other thing I refuse to give is my SS#. I tell them ‘not in this day of identity theft’. And they haven’t press it yet.
With the advent of filing medical records in a Federal database that is all over, doc. Questions about firearms are only one of a thousand reasons why. It is what it is.
Doctors are agents of the federal government now.
Don’t want to rain on your parade, but
the Hippocratic oath is NOT taken anymore.
The only oath is to the state with a promise to abide by the
decisions of the DeathPANELS (which of course
do not apply to Moslem or Congress or their families).
Because some of them believe in freedom and the Constitution?
I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK TO SEE THE QUACK SINCE.
Just tell your quack that you are going to put him/her on the Che-to-b-shot-list.
Do you have a gun in your home?
When asked by a Doctor or healthcare provider the answer is
“Sorry that question is not relevant to my healthcare, next one please”
