Child physical includes gun questions?

[Troublco]

The last military physical questionnaire I did included gun ownership and storage questions; I didn't answer them

Hey BG, I think I told you, but my Doc is one of the rasons we all took your course.

Just couldn't stand to get another physical and go thru the sam ?ing.

Did you get you CCW?
Why Not?
When are you going to get it? Times a wasting, do it before it's outlawed,,, Blah Blah?

Well, frankly, I think carrying for protection is a physical health issue.

Good for the doc!

+1! A responsible citizen should be armed.

I just changed Doctor offices last year. I was asked the same questions at my physical. I just figured it was questions that office used. My Doctor didn’t seem to care about my answers to the gun questions.

Thanx for all the responses folks, glad I’m not the only one feeling that questions like these are way off base.......

Thought I would throw in a little bit of devils advocate explinaiton, maybe, depends on how they do it.

I work part time in a crisis psychiatric hospital here and the gun question comes up. In this case it is asked as part of a review of potentially suicidal patients and the reasons are fairly obvious as we ask about plans to see if we can disable the plan. For example if they want to hang themselves, guess who better get used to slippers. In terms of a questionaire I could see it as a part of this series of questions, i.e.

"do you fell depressed?"
"do you hurt yourself?"
"do you think about killing yourself?"
"do you have a plan?"
"do you have access to a gun?"

there would be others in there but you get the idea, and PCP have to cover this frequently and begin the process in terms of mental health.

on an ambulance I asked sometimes as well and this was just for my partner and my safety.


I of course can't say for sure if this is what is happening but that is the one case I know of it coming up.

More info to be added to data bases. Insurance companies could use info in future as reason to raise rates etc. Govt wants any and all info about citizens for many nefarious reasons. All bad juju IMO. Really crappy asking kids (who are taught to answer adults questions) to get info on family/parents.

I bad mouth her every chance I get.

And Dr Commie Bitch's name is?

I've been asked these questoins while seeking care at military treatment facilities a few times. Since I'm retired and they never asked me while I was Active Duty, I didn't feel compelled to answer. Maybe that's why I always end up sitting in the exam rooms for 20 minutes or more waiting for the Dr.
