Years ago I got the firearms question from my doctor. It was on a questionnaire along with a lot of other prying questions about my sexual practices, past drug use and so on. I left that entire section blank. When the doctor examined the form she asked me "did you forget to fill out this part?" I responded "no." She looked puzzled for an instant and then sensibly let the matter drop.

Is there a state where the doctor can compel you to answer these questions?

I honestly don't know but doubt it. I believe that may change with the full implementation of 0care and future changes to it. One more very good reason to kill 0care.

The problem is with the increasing number of docs bailing out of medicine. There means less and less practicing mds.

If you are over 65, finding a new doctor if your longtime doc retires, can really be tough as many docs aren’t taking new Medicare patients.

So poing a doc might get you dropped from his/her practice. Then your record will probably indicate that you were a hothead and unpredictable re your guns and your life style.
