Do you have a gun in your house?

I've been asked the "do you have guns in your house?" question at the doctor's office. I was shocked but said that I didn't believe that question was relevant to the reason I was there. The person that asked just said "that's fine" and continued on to the next inane question.

This comes from a good and trusted friend, but I do not know of its validity. It is offered here for your perusal and your thoughts.

Do you have a gun in your House?

            What you permit, you promote.

            When I had my gangrene gallbladder taken out and spent 10 days in the hospital

            for what should have been an overnight stay the insurance company kicked me out.

            I had home nurse visits for two weeks and was asked if I had guns in the house.

            I respond that if I did I would not tell them. So the below has some merit.


            FYI, I am passing this along...there are comments from two other people I have

            also been asked if we keep guns in the house. The nurse just kinda slipped it in

            along with all the other regular questions.    I told her I refused to answer

            because it was against the law to ask.


            Everyone, whether you have guns or not, should give a neutral answer so they

            have no idea who does and who doesn't. My doctor asked me if I had guns in my

            house and also if any were loaded. I, of course, answered yes to both questions.

            Then he asked why I kept a loaded gun close to my bed.  I answered that my son,

            who is a certified gun instructor and also works for Homeland Security, advised

            me that an unloaded, locked up gun is no protection against criminal attack.

            The Government now requires these questions be asked of people on Medicare, and

            probably everyone else.

            Just passing this along for your information: I had  to visit a doctor other than

            my regular doctor when my doctor was on vacation.  One of the questions on the

            form I had to fill out was: Do you have any guns in your house?? My answer was

            None of your business!!

            So it is out there! It is either an insurance issue or government intervention.

            Either way, it is out there and the second the government gets into your medical

            records (as they want to under Obamacare) it will become a major issue and will

            ultimately result in lock and load!!

            Please pass this on to all the other retired guys and gun owners...Thanks, from

            a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer: I had a doctors appointment at

            the  local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting that I

            would  like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing the doctor,

            I was  asked at the end of the exam, three questions:1. Did I feel stressed? 2.

            Did I  feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone?

            The nurse then informed me, that if I had answered yes to any of the questions,

            I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my

            medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security.

            Looks like they are going after the vets first. Other gun people like retired

            law enforcement will probably be next. Then when  they go after the civilians,

            what argument will they have? Be forewarned and be aware.   The Obama

            administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners

            potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner, veteran or not, YOU"VE BEEN

            WARNED !

            If you know veterans and gun  owners, please pass this on to them. Be very

            cautious about what you say and to whom.
