My first post on THR; here goes.
I just returned from a doctor appointment for my 4 year old daughter. Part of the routine list of questions they always ask include; Do you have guns in the house?, Do you have handguns?, Are they locked in a safe?, Do they have trigger locks?, Is the ammunition stored seperately?. My answers are entered into their laptop computers.
I've heard that the AMA or whatever medical associations tend to lean anti-gun and I wonder what these "routine questions" are really for. If they are strictly concerned with the welfare of my child, why don't they ask me if I have a swimming pool?
I asked my doctor why he was asking these questions and why he didn't ask about other potentially dangerous objects such as swimming pools and he kind of dodged the subject. He did say the questions were routine and the information didn't go any where.
Questions are seldom asked strictly for the fun of asking them. I wonder what would happen if I answered their questions in a manner besides what they want to hear. It could be an expensive experiment. Would my insurance rates increase or I be dropped? Would the sheriff pay a visit because they got a report that I was recklessly endangering my child?
I'm tempted to refuse to answer their questions.
What do you guys recommend?
Thanks,
John
