Next time the doctor asks if there are firearms in the home...

At least they caught him and that girl didn't get hurt. Freakin dirtbag. Rest easy, prison will be HARD for him =P

I'm on the fence for my answer. It will either be:

I came for help with a medical issue. Please stick to that.

or

I'm going to say that I'm certain I've had more firearms safety training than he has, and that I don't go to my firearms instructors for medical advice.
 
A few weeks ago I brought my 12yr old son in for a physical and I was doodling on my cell when the doctor asked my son "Are there any firearms in the house"? I thought I misheard the question and he turned to me as my son sat there not saying anything. I looked at him for a few seconds and almost said "none of your f**kin business". But, you have to be smarter than that and I told him "I'm a former Marine from Texas. What do you think?". He didn't push the question any further only to say "but they're all locked up, right?" which I replied "of course". You never know what some liberal doctor could write on some form and cause all kinds of problems in this state.
 
Landscaper?

He had plenty of opportunity to case the property, and who lived there.

Probably had other homes and kids in mind as well.

Never been asked by my doctors either... IF they ever do ask though, I'd ask them "WTF does that have to do with my medical needs??"

As for people I know... I'm sure they don't ask my sister and her family (screaming moonbats/libtards)...

THIS.

Doctor: "Are there any firearms in the house?"

You: "What's your favorite genre of pornography?"

Doctor: "Are you a gun owner?"

You: "Do you and your wife use condoms? Hormonal birth control? Both?"

Doctor: "Do you have any weapons?"

You: "Have you ever used toilet paper so thin that your fingers go right through it, and into your own shit?"
 
I've gotten a few questions like.."do you engage in any risky hobbies or activities ?" to which I respond, "i ride a motorcycle and I shoot guns...<pause for comic effect>...but never at the same time" ;-)
 
I was only asked this once, at a surgeon's office by his medical assistant. I simply answered "boundary violation" and she moved on to the next question.

You gave the doc more info that I would. What does he know about locking up guns? If I am there for a medical reason for myself or my son, the doctor better stick to the topic at hand, not shit he was told to ask because he is a phishing bastard.
 
My kids have never been asked if there is a firearm in the home. They have been asked if they have access to a firearm. Either way they are instructed to say no.

As for a doctor asking me...never happened.
 
Just say no, Why are you asking it has nothing to do with my visit here.

Mmm... How about you just say "NO".

Some people like to complicate what a simple NO can answer.
One thing I learned in sales is to not provide unnecessary information, it can cost you a deal. Just answer the question and move on with the conversation.

Do you have guns? - NO.... so simple.

Congrats, now you are flagged as someone that has guns and gives aggressive answers.
 
My doctor has never asked my about guns. He always hands me one of those "health tips" handouts at the conclusion of every appointment, and one of the bullet points on the sheet says, "if you own firearms, be sure they are stored securely to prevent access by children/unauthorized adults, and be knowledgeable on how to operate them safely."
 
Best answer is just say "no". They'll check it off on their forms and move on.

My PCP doesn't ask me; he's a member at my Rod and Gun Club.

This, any other answer such as "none of your business" is in essence a yes.
 
Just had my semi annual physical and my doc who is probably early 40s simply has what he calls his safety speech that pretty much go like " make sure you wear a seatbelt, use sunscreen, if you own firearms store them safely, check your smoke detectors battery today after you leave..." etc... basic normal advice... repeats it every time and to everyone...never once asked me directly in 15 years of seeing him
