RKBA/Florida double-ping!
Posted on 07/26/2014 11:02:57 AM PDT by aimhigh
A Florida law restricting what doctors can tell patients about gun ownership was deemed to be constitutional Friday by a federal appeals court, which said it legitimately regulates professional conduct and doesn't violate the doctors' First Amendment free speech rights.
The ruling by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta overturned a previous decision that had declared the law unconstitutional. An injunction blocking enforcement of the law is still in effect, however.
By a 2-1 decision, the appeals court upheld the law as a protection of patient privacy rights and said that the limits imposed by it were "incidental."
"The act simply codifies that good medical care does not require inquiry or record-keeping regarding firearms when unnecessary to a patient's care," states the opinion written by U.S. Circuit Judge Gerald Tjoflat.

Damned if my Thompson doesn't do the same! But by keeping the spare drums in baggies, they are always dry and ready for use. Ditto my Mills Bombs.
I notice from my TV that a lot of the lighter in the loafer "personalities" are wearing suits so tightly cut they look as if they were bought when the guy was 11. These fellows should keep their Ladysmiths in their manpurses.
Why, something you cover a dead barrel with of course..
OK, I'll leave quietly... ;-)
RKBA/Florida double-ping!
They are dangerous in the hands of dumb asses
You pprobably should stick with a slingshot as Glocks are for adults.
Glocks don’t misfire, idiots like you pull the trigger then blame the gun.
“Accidental discharge” is a stupid concept and the term should be banned from the lexicon. 99.995% of all so-called “accidental discharges” are really negligent discharges. Human negligence is the cause of the problem, not Glocks or any other non-sentient assemblage of steel and (optionally) plastic.
Firearms safety happens between the ears, not with the addition of a magic button to a firearm.
“Funny, the ACLU holds the opposite opinion when it comes to shrinks treating homosexuality.”
Could it be possible the ACLU favors the agenda of the progressives?
Some folks like Glocks the same way some folks liked the VW Beetle. For me, both are too ugly, no matter their efficiency. The Chiappa revolver is too ugly, no matter its efficiency.
I’m so vain.
“Accidental discharge” is no myth. It happened to me one time (and one time alone) with an exquisite indian co-ed in the common room of Trumbull college.
The Glock, conversely, misfires as it cycles, and from what I am told it is a well-known problem. I am not a gunsmith or armorer, so please do not make fun of me if I use less-than perfect descriptive language, here’s the deal:
When you charge the cylinder ie. draw a cartridge into the cylinder of a Glock auto handgun, and when you then release the slide to ‘close’ the weapon, there is a chance, especially if you ‘release’ with a snap, that the weapon will discharge. I am told by a VA gunsmith and dealer that the firing pin ‘slides’ out of its sleeve.
if so, need a more stout spring.
"Welly Welly sorry, Mrs. McGillicuddy, but he was 64 years old, you know, and we could do nothing! So, we discharged him, accidently sort of."
O BTW, Glock is (or was) always in court about this "accidental discharge" issue, (including cases involving LEO's) so let not the Glock Fans get their knickers in a knot defending the company's product. OTOH, MacDonalds patrons have won millions for suing about hot coffee.
Perhaps best to remember old Serbian saying.
In that way, one can always claim self-defense, e.g.: "Officer, she made a furtive move toward my lanyard." Of course, in today's New Haven, one ought to be prepared to state that in correct español.
BTW, as a medico myself and well versed in the anatomy of the female coed, including many who were quite common, I must admit that I am stumped by your use of the terms "accidental discharge in the Common Room."
ROFL.
That is actually called the "Barrel Cozy," My grandmother used to knit them for me, before the BATF took her and her dog out. Wrong house sort of thing.
For all growing young men— an unforgettable seminal moment. A mind being a surprising thing to find and “get right”, for when the “top” breaks and the spent shells fall out, the shootist must.... reload for another go.
The only defense to the Dean in such cases (which is completely lame in the case of a revolver) is/was “I didn’t know the gun was loaded” before “one’s” misfire at a damsel in deshabille distress.
