Some state that you think that question is a boundary violation.

She nodded, ticked that box on the form and I had my lead levels back a week later. Doctors are employee's of those who hire them (patients), if a particular doctor has an issue with firearms, there's absolutely no shortage of doctors out there who can step up to the plate and replace them.

While I used to have a "it's none of their business" take on this matter, I've decided that for the money I spend, I want them to have the whole picture and if they have an issue with it, I'll simply find a different provider.

All it takes is one anti-firearm doctor to make a note that you owning firearms is a threat to yourself or others and you won't have the right to own them any more. Recently the social security and military medical has been used to strip people of their rights...this is probably next in that agenda.

I wouldn't advertise it any more than necessary.

WOW...a good law is upheld.

Answer: "I feel threatened that you would ask me such a question". You have a 4th Amendment right. :)

best to find a doc that is into guns, then you can make certain you are covered from lead exposure and any other issues we deal with as regular shooters

My doc only cares about feeling my nutz and sticking his little finger up my backside once a year.

Thankfully, he has small hands.

My doctor once asked me what time of year the leaves turned colors where I lived and I told him to mind his own damn business!

Unless I'm leaking from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, it's none of their goddamn business whether I own guns! And even then, it's still nobody's business. Fug'em.

Not quite the same, but,....there is a dentist in Minnesota who likes guns a LOT, and is really looking for new patients right now.
