Never leave your kid unattended with a doc. They could be a member of the Obamacare gun registry mafia. And if they ask you about it, say “None of your business, scum!”
While in Colorado (Fort Carson) my daughter (16) had a doctors appointment. I figured she was old enough to tell the doc what was wrong so I waited in the outer room. A nurse came to get me and said that since she was under 18 I was required to go with her. After a few minutes of the doc (COL)talking to her he asked me to leave the room. I questioned him on why I was required to be there and then asked to leave. He said it is a privacy issue. I told him that everything about her was my business.
I ranted for a few minutes on government usurping my rights regarding my own child. He said he understood my concerns and again asked me to step out. NEVER let the government have control of your children! EVER!
I told my kids to say “no”. Nothing else. Because they’re right, my guns sank with my boat.
You’re far to polite in your response to the Doc.
But after my 4 letter word rant to the socialist, marxist scum.. I’d pick my kid up and walk out the door never to be seen by him/her again.
Teach your kids to say “you will have to ask my dad”
We set up a NFA gun trust and put all Title I and Title II firearms in Appendix A and B.
This is a legal entity that "holds" the firearms as property and assets.
If ever a Doc is dumb enough to ask us about firearms, we can honestly and ethically say "We do not personnally own any firearms".
If they probe any further, stop them with this question: "What is the name, address, and phone number of your malpractice insurance"?
Insist on getting the information for the purposes of inquiring about their firearm profeciency, NRA training, CCW training, police or military service.
If they cannot produce those credentials, then they may be giving professional advice outside of their licensed expertise.
Doctors can lose their licenses for that. All doctors fear an inquiry from their medical malpractice or state medical board.
Stick to your guns, be polite, and try to deflect the question from ever entering the conversation.
Since many more people killed by vehicles every year than by guns, it stands to reason that doctors would be better advised to ask about vehicles ownership and if everyone is properly trained in vehicle saftey.
The point is that the doctor should not be asking at all. If parents have a question or concern about firearms, they can choose to speak with their doctor. That solves the issue altogether.

Firearms save a life every five seconds so why should they ask?
Self serving bastard Doctors with political agendas are not Doctors of life,
they are Doctors of Abortion and death and deserve attitude adjustments accordingly.
“When I ask parents if there are firearms in the home, and if so how they are secured, it is for the sole purpose of keeping their children safe.”
If the children’s safety were his only concern, he would distribute literature to all of his patients.
“When I ask parents if there are firearms in the home, and if so how they are secured, it is for the sole purpose of keeping their children safe.”
Since when do doctors have anything to do with child safety? They are supposed to be doctors. Doctors exist to diagnose and treat ailments, not to go out of their training element and work in the “field of child safety.” They are unqualified by reason of lack of training and credentials to be involved in “child safety” at all. For them to do so is committing fraud.
But now this whole issue is burgeoning. As a senior citizen, I have to deal with a phalanx of questions regarding my sanity, my interest in harming myself, and the number of times (if any) I have fallen in the past x number of months. I just had a physical. These questions were on a form I was disposed to fill out and sign, they were asked by the nurse, and again by the doctor, and all of it is transcribed into your “medical history” electronically.
So not only do you have to be wary of gun questions, but also mental health inquiries. I simply don’t answer any of it. It’s none of their business. And if the time comes when my current physician gets truculent about any of it, he’s lost a patient.
