Here’s What to Say When Your Doctor Asks if You Have a Gun at Home:
Doctors tend to be the nosy type, they want to delve into our daily lives to know what we eat, how often we enjoy a little booze, and if we smoke. All standard questions when you are separated from the herd in the waiting room and confined to a small examination room and await the arrival of the experts in the white coats. But now, well, medical care providers are trying to dig even deeper into your personal life, and not to determine how to correct a bulging belly or to improve heart health.
What should you do if a doctor asks if you have guns in the house or have access to firearms? Well Hot Air columnist Jazz Shaw summed it up best – lie. Do not hesitate, do not get angry or resentful, him-haw around, or tell the doctor it is none of his business. Sadly, the best way to prevent the doctor from encouraging the government to confiscate your guns is to lie about having them.
Republican Governor Rick Scott was on his game when he banned doctors from asking citizens if they had a gun in their homes when he pushed a privacy law in 2001, the Federalist Paper notes.
