My new doctor (3 years ago) asked me if I had any guns at home. I said “I’ve got one in my pocket and another in the truck but I’ll have to go home if you want more.” She wrote something down and never mentioned it again.
In an age when doctors are ethical, this could be just fine.
Guns are a subject that leads to a lot of imbalanced thought.
And anyhow, because you’re not a shooter today, doesn’t mean you might not be a shooter tomorrow. And what of bows and arrows, or hunting knives, etc.?
I’ve had to laugh at medical offices who can’t even keep their records straight about whether I am still taking a certain stomach remedy.
The ultimate answer is that our governance itself respects our rights. I actually defended the concept of outlaw biker the other day, in the sense of a private society that protects rights when the law is seen to have gone all rotten (which doesn’t have to mean bent on murder and mayhem). I let some of those Waco apologists really have it. They were feeding the climate that gives rise to more outlaw bikers.
But this is a stinking second best, before God, to the situation where “when the righteous bear rule, the people rejoice.”
Lets get our governance right and the doctors won’t even be a worry.
