Doctors and Firearms Questions

[hatidua]

I recently had a fairly comprehensive batch of blood work done and asked my doctor to please check my lead levels while they were at it. She asked if I'd been eating paint off my walls and I simply informed her that I handle bullets and shoot regularly and wanted it checked. 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.
