Do you have a gun in the house?

Do you have gun in the house?

GOOD TO KNOW!

When I had my gangrene gallbladder taken out and spent 10 days in the hospital for what should have been an overnight stay, the insurance company kicked me out. I had home nurse visits for two weeks and was asked if I had guns in the house. I respond that if I did I would not tell them. So the below has some merit.

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 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 doctor's 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.

Just say no. Anything else will be construed as an affirmative. If everyone simply denies possession it will ruin their little run on the second amendment.

3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?

My answer would be a resounding NO. But does that mean I couldn’t smile if someone who’s bad came to harm?

So if I have more than one gun can I honestly answer, “I do NOT have a gun in my house?”

When we had my MIL here at home for hospice care, the intake nurse asked if we had a gun in the house. At the time, I thought they were worried about hospice patients committing suicide, now I suspect it was as about compiling records of gun owners as anything to do with patients.

I sold all my guns to Obama. He said he needed them for a Fast and Furious cause. I don’t know what he meant by that.

Yep. Lying to them is the best policy, IMO.

Then smile, as though pleased.

I have fairly severe tinnitus in my right ear from practicing at the range so much. The ringing makes it difficult to understand high pitched female voices... like when my wife asks me to take the dog for a walk. Anyway, the last time I went to the doctor a nurse asked me a similar line of questions... I thought she asked if I had gum in the house. I said, "Hell no!" Now it all makes a lot more sense. Thank you and be sure and wear your hearing protection out at the range!

This is a hoax that has been floating around the internet for several years now.

I do recommend not answering any questions about guns in your home, or about money, jewelry, or other valuables.

Should have told him “this is my rifle, this is my gun”.

How did the nurse know you had a Carry Permit?

I hope you have it properly registered. The cops are pretty strict about that.
