I answer no to the question even though my 45 is on my hip.

I have never been asked that question at the Doctor's office. Even my kids Doctor. My thinking is, just say no and that is that. I don't like the question, but if you have to answer it and say no how will they know you aren't telling the truth? I don't even tell my babysitter there are guns in the house. My one pistol that stays at home is in a safe that can't be seen unless you LOOK for it. And my long guns are hidden behind lock and key as well. -Jason

Got no problem with my Doctor! Copies of NRA magazines in the lobby along with Field & Stream. No issues here!

Move along, nothing to see here...

Who is your doctor? I've been looking for one.

Never been asked that question and if I was asked, I would answer no.

 

[Arthur Dent]

Mine has never asked and if he did I'd tell him it's none of his business.

 

[MrsGungho]

we discuss new purchases. on file, he put "NO" to the question of guns in the home.

My Dr and I usually talk guns before he even asks me why I'm there to see him.

This is not standard and there is no question on the patient sheet asking this question.

Don't know what hospitals or Dr. office is doing this now but not standard in the medical field. I don't know why but most in the medical field are pretty 2A and laid back in Indiana.

+1 on that. My PCP retired last year, and I havent found a new one. And I dont think any of the others in her practice are taking new patients...

 

[Mgderf]

... it's none of his business.

This is the only prudent answer to that question.

 

[dusterboy49]

So far I have not been asked nor had it appear on any form at my doctors office.
If it would happen, I would just inform him its none of their business.

Good to have.

I go to the VA for all my health needs and have yet to be asked any questions about guns or their ownership. Granted I can not carry anywhere even in my vehicle locked up on campus.

However I do discus guns and shooting with my eye Dr. at the VA, he happens to be an avid bench rest shooter, long distance. I've also discussed shooting and the shooting sports with my other Dr.s when the subject happens to come up, all have been a positive discussion, you might be supprised as to how many actually are involved in the shooting sports.

I go to a Eye Dr. on the Southside of Indy, we talk guns all the time. The whole family goes to see him once a year all at the same time and I sit in the office for all four exams so we can talk guns, planes, ATV's, and politics. I have been going to him for 20 years now and his office is where I met my wife. He has actually defended his property with a gun.

I've been lucky in this department too - my doctor just signed his wife up for my "Ladies Only" NRA Basic Pistol Course! And my dentist and I trade services - dental care for firearms training!

You guys go to doctors?

The only doctors I've seen in the last several years are my clients.

Yeah, I tried operating on my own shoulder, but my wife got upset about the mess in the garage. So I broke down and found a doc. Wimpy, I know.
