Doctor: Do you have guns?
Patient: All our guns were lost in a freak boating accident out in the deep ocean.....

If that cute girl doctor asks about my gun, I'm going to show it to her.

I've been asked that by my kids Pediatrician's office in N.O. I just said "I would rather not say". The nurse replied saying something like no problem and they make us ask.
Problem solved.
I have no problem with them asking as long as a "none of your business" answer is acceptable.

My children's pediatrician is a pretty hot 40 year old and she asked me if I had any guns at home. I told her I had three guns with me right then and there. Then I flexed my biceps and she laughed and said well, that's really only two. I told her the other gun was the bazooka in between my legs and it was locked and loaded. She showed up at my house late that night and I smashed her poon tang.

I don't have a problem with this, all it's saying is a doctor CAN ask about them. They dont have to ask nor does the patient have to answer.
It's pretty important to mention to new parents especially. You'd be surprised how many airheads never even think about securing their guns from small children.

This. Maybe instead of asking the question just have a quick discussion with new parents on importance of securing their guns and ammo. Maybe even give them a pamphlet and move along.

Why do people feel the need to answer inappropriate questions asked by strangers?
If a Dr. asks you about guns, would it be OK to ask him about anal with his wife? Neither has any place in a medical services facility.

Is there some epidemic of doctors wielding around gun advice all willy nilly unsolicited?
Posted on 2/19/17 at 11:13 am to FrenchToast
If my doctor ever asks me that question, I'll just pull up my pant leg and he can see my ankle holster.

Assuming every home needs child proofing is a mistake.
Cars run longer with regular oil changes. Does my butcher need to discuss it with me when I see him?

Wouldn't matter to me. They can ask all they want doesn't mean I have to answer.

Usually the doctor questions about gun ownership are out of bounds. They really do not need to know in order to provide medical care. Do they ask if you own a car? If they are curious they should first start with a disclaimer! But they ask this question like it's as important as your daily coffee intake. However the answer becomes part of your personal medical records that are accessible by government hacks with potential misuse! Give them strong push back!
Pediatricians should warn about household dangers like firearms, electricity, cleaners, poisons, swimming pools, toilets, inadequate car seats, etc..
Psychiatrists should ask if they consider you a potential suicide.

Ultimately my issue with this is the info gets added to a file and shipped off to the totally reliable and dependable insurance companies. If anything i say can and will be used against me, you best be reading miranda rights to me first

What happens if the patient refuses to answer?

Oh look, another good reason to have a gun trust.
Happy to set you up after March.

Actually, no. If it is a PSA kind of thing, no problem. If more than that, doesn't belong there.
That being said, I hardly see even the latter being worth any kind of uproar. What, now "conservatives" want a regulation to make this verboten? Tell him it's none of his business and move on.

If free speech gives the doctor the right, by law, to ask the questions, then free speech, by law, gives the patient the right to refuse to answer the question. Just my opinion.

The patient also has the right to privacy regardless of his answer or his choice to answer.
That right is extended both by medical ethics and by legal statute.
