Quoted: It's SOP for docs to ask about weapons in households with children... It's also AAP policy to encourage such inquiries. I was sent a draft of the upcoming revised AAP policy on children and violence to preview/comment on and it referred directly to this practice. |

Quoted:
A little history...My teenage daughter had some surgery 2 days ago. She was sent home with a wound evacuation device that will need to be attended 3 times a week by a home health nurse. While we were in hospital the home health care provider called and my wife spoke to them. They were evidentally setting up visit times, getting directions to our house ect. They then asked a question and my responded with "yes my husband has numerous weapons in our house and they are under lock and key." I screamed out "It's none of their damn business" (and the little voice in my head screamed DISENGAGE, DISENGAGE, DISENGAGE). There were further verbal exchanges between my wife and the porson on the other end and she hung up. She was TOTALLY PISSED at me for screaming and commented that the lady on the other end only wanted to know about weapons for her own personal safety. I told my wife for her own personal safety she should have a CCW. I told my NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE needs to know if I have weapons and what use they are for, I don't care who it is. Just curious what is the hive's take on this? Am I being too sensitive or am I justified in my position? The nurse is scheduled to show up tomorrow evening and I've got half a mind to wear my Ruger Alaskan on my hip when I answer the door. Unfortunately I fear my pie eating days will come to a screeching halt. THOUGHTS????? Why did you marry someone that clueless? |

None of her business.
Do not open carry. It can be seen as a threat and you can go to jail (3 years mandatory in FL). |

Yes, they ask these questions. Yes it pisses me off. But, it's pretty much the standard short form of questions, now days, and most of the simpletons out and about take this for granted.

No ones business about any weapons you may have in your house, not even ARFCOM unless you choose to tell us. 
No ones business, that simple. I agree, none of their business. |

Quoted: "nothing accessible". This. If they're asking due to child safety concerns, that may be part of their job. not to know wheter you have firearms, but rather if you have them unattended. Most people still thinks gun owners leave loaded guns in chest drawers at random. Some dumbass actually do, and that's a fair concern. |

Gotta look at both sides of this one. No, it really isn't any of their business but considering the way many healthcare providers get treated by patients and their families who (sometimes correctly, sometimes incorrectly) think they know more about medicine, not surprising.
Some procedures are inherently painful, and if someone's kid screams from it and the parent starts intervening, the HCP does not have anyone to call for assistance. So from their standpoint, yeah, I can understand asking that question. The calm response of "yes, and they are under lock & key" is pretty good. "That is a personal matter" is also good. Screaming about guns in the background is a GIANT RED FLAG. I don't much care for intrusive questions, but when healthcare of a family member is in question, I tend to put that first and not be so concerned about the other stuff. |

Yeah, they can ask, and you can answer however you like. Kind of a goofy question though, when you go to people's houses you can expect that a third or more are going to have guns in the house.

I had incorrectly assumed my wife and I were on the same page. Did you have the OPSEC talk with her prior to this call? |
