I own a staple gun, a caulking gun, a nail gun.....
... and a boat prone to tragic, cargo losing capsize!

There have been laws passed on this subject in Florida, always to the great consternation of liberals and gun control advocates, but it remains an open question in much of the country. Should your doctor be asking you during the course of a routine check-up whether or not you or any family members have a gun in your house? And what if they do just come out and ask? Ben Guarino at the Washington Post brings us some information about a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine which suggests that nothing should hold doctors back from inquiring. You know… just for your own good.

Whether you own guns or not, it's no one else's business. But if you tell them that, they'll assume you do. So lie. And have no qualms about it.
That’s pretty damn good. I’m gonna remember that one — thanks!

Oh, good response. I will remember that. It is also true.
Semantics, I know, the real answer should be FOAD.....
Sometimes its better to answer a question with a question such as: "Doc, who is your malpractice insurance with? I'd like to see their policy on you asking non-medical questions. Also, what professional credentials do you hold in regards to firearms? NRA trainer? Instructor, etc"? THAT usually gets them to shut up. Remind them that they have an MD on their wall and they should stick to that.
If you doctor shows leftist tendencies, tell him you have hemorrhoids that are burning like an acetylene torch with the O2 on full.
That’s not a medical question, and therefore, none of your business!
Present Arms!
Lie and say no.
Doctors are agents of the government now.
I have my official doctor, and my doctor and pharmacy who has my name, but otherwise incorrect information whom I use for anything I don’t want on my records. Pay by pre-paid credit card. (NO, I not doctor shopping. I’m actually honest to this doctor.)
If they already know, why do they bother asking?
If he persisted, I'd just say - "I decline to answer that question" and answer the question by not answering it, so both of us would be satisfied.
"Own a GUN?! You are kidding me right?! I'm afraid if I had one it would start shooting and killing people randomly around my house!! Besides I'm a Hillary supporter!"
I like “It’s none of your damned business” MUCH better. This unconstitutional tyranny must be shut down & eradicated.
Ask the doctor for his personal telephone number and the times that he eats dinner, or sleeps.
When he responds, “That information is not available to you.”
You retort, “Why not?”
He replies, “It irrelevant to our doctor-patient relationship.”
You follow up with, “So is asking if I own a gun.”
Doctor should ask if you are gay. Have a better chance of dying from AIDS as y do from a gunshot wound.
You say no, then find another Dr.
I’m with you: “None of your business.”
Say you are just now reviewing your healthcare provider. Because I found the question to be intrusive I am changin providers and will tell the reason why on social media. You won’t see me again and I expect others will change also.
Exactly...He had nothing else he could say...
No doc, but I am looking for one. Do you have one for sale?
