If they can ask me if I have guns at home ( to which my response will be " None of your business."). Then shouldn't I be able to ask my doctor and other health care workers if they have any communicable social diseases before any examination? Would they be insulted? Yes! Is it any different?

They all bother me but this one REALLY bothers me.

"requires doctors to ask" before it's over with. You know this is just a start. If they get their foot in this door, it's going to get nasty.

Sorry Doc but I have to STEAL this, laughed so hard almost had tears...for a couple of reasons. My Doc told me 'I have to ask this, but I know here in rural Texas all you guys have and carry guns, so do you have any and since I am new here what do you recommend for Texas Whitetail'foxhunter wrote: Well, I am a doctor and I ask my patients all the time about their guns. By doing this they sometimes give me insight on where the cheapest and available ammo is. I am also seeing more women than ever carrying handguns in their purses in my office ( this is in Illinois and no concealed carry yet) They happily pull them out and show them to me. I really liked the Bersa 380 , the last one pulled out of her purse. More importantly, I ask them if they are shooting or learning. The woman with the Bersa had been carrying it for a month to protect against an abusive spouse, that is out on bail, after holding her and her daughter hostage in an underground bunker and beating them and cutting them for a week with his hunting knife. She had never fired it. I helped get her set up for a beginning woman's handgun course at the local range. I verified that she would be able to use the gun if the situation arose (she was)
Bottom line, is you have to know and trust your doctor. I never put anything in their medical record that indicates gun ownership.
On the other hand, if I didn't know the doctor and he asked me that, I would not answer and I would find another doctor
