I was asked this question on a questionaire in Birmingham, AL in 1999. There were only two answers so I voted for the write in candidate of “none of your **** business”. The doctor laughed and said that his secretary had forgotten to mark through this question and the he gets his forms from some company that puts it on all the forms. Turns out, he was a sporting clays kind of guy that owned $10,000+ Perazzi’s and stuff. We got along pretty good after that visit and I wouldn’t see any other doctor in the area if I could help it. I find it hard to trust folks that are mean to kids and dogs and people that don’t own a firearm or two. I might be the weird one, I don’t know. Back to the point, it is of no concern to a doctor what I own and keep in my house. If there is a life threatening injury, just ask me, I will tell you whom is responsible and what object was used to cause the injury. If I can’t tell you, it is probably pretty obvious what the problem is.

I will go along with no law prohibiting the asking of the question…

if…

they don’t pass a law tying my ability to get medical treatment as to whether or not I answer the question.

If there has been a crime where a child has been hurt and taken to the hospital, then it is time for the doctor to report the incident to the police.

Let the police investigate and ask the questions. No, a doctor need not ask the question at all!!

or you could say, “No, I don’t own A gun.”

Who cares? If my doctor asks me if I own a gun my answer would be simple. “Yes I sure do”.

This is intended for Kathy! Don’t make statements like what you directed at me. “Your gun is not your GOD and if it is your in serious trouble.” No one ever implied such and it is unwarranted! Yes I have a weapon notice how I refer to it. Not as a gun because I spent so many years in the military I respect and know what it will do to a human body. You can bet your last dollar if someone is harming my family I will protect them. It is not I you have to worry about or the average gun owner it is the criminals you need be worried about. If you took all the guns away the criminals would still have them because they are criminals! Get your idealistic head out of the sand and don’t attack other people for expressing their opinion. It is still our our right to express last I checked. And yes that to is being challenged all the time just goes to show how extreme our Country has come to be.
If you had read my comment close enough you would have seen I stated “unless warranted asking”. I do beleive that if someone is mentally ill it needs to be asked of the family and of the person. Just saying the more you try and regulate the more rights we as citizens loose. Careful what you ask for because the government will gladly take your rights so they have all the power.

Dear Ms. Gibson, there is a current move in this country to collect information, from the far left, (Liberals) that would create a national data base in which all guns, would be tracked, ( which is illegal) so that if the government wish to ban gun owner ship. they would know who has what and where they are. This his how they did it in Australia, Europe , Canada , and all other nations that ban ownership of weapons. The U.N is very active in this cause. Do not wish to offend, but this is real. This is not a scare tactic, The reason we have the 2nd amendment is to protect ourselves from invasion, or a government that might wish to oppress us The city of New Orleans went around after katrina , and took over a 1000, guns from law abiding people. The NRA got them back after going to court. Our fore fathers knew that this might happen and gave us a way around it. And a oppressive government truly fear’s a armed population. We have enough gun laws. Just enforce what we have.

I agree with Kathy-fright keeps the gun business making enough money to buy off just about any politican. My husband hunted as does my son but they were not obssessed with guns. They were never used for protection. Let me ask you “why” would you care for someone knowing how many guns you own? I thought most of you would be proud to bragg about this. Do you actively support “Freedom of Speech” when you don’t agree with the speech or the deliverer of the speech as you do the right to bear arms? Just wondering

You know Kathy, I have a Doctor, if He thinks my child is in danger, they can call me the parent, and we will talk about it. Same goes for grand ma, or dad.You see that is the right thing to do. But this is how it starts, pretty soon it show’s up on your information sheet . Do you smoke. how much, do you drink, how much, do you own fire arms, how many.So if you wish to kill a snake, you cut it’s head off. And this ruling does just that. let’s stop it before it even get’s started.God Bless all those who got this ruling push thru. It is what we the people , or majority want.
