There is a staggering number of suicides every year, and a large number of those involve guns. Gun owners are at risk for a higher rate of suicides. Your doctor is just doing his job and assessing ALL the risks to your health. Besides, those antidepressants work very well.
put away your paranoia and remember that you have a doctor-patient relationship to protect you from the government. That is unless you tell him/her that you are going to hurt someone, then you should be turned in.
Don't think you have any guarantee of confidential patient relationship if the intent is to determine if you are fit to own a gun. If you have any medical history of depression or anti-depressants, you will be added to their list. This much deeper than "do you own a gun"
Last week I had my annual physical and the Gun question came up, it has before, and as always I passed and the doctor would moved on. This visit I was told answering the question was mandatory. I did not ask about the consequences but surmised the doctor would not get compensated without an answer. Any thoughts? I think the feds will try and do gun control through oXXXX care. They are gathering data.
When I first read this post, I thought it was a joke. It is a joke, isn't it?
If not, why in the heck would a doc ask such a question unless there was some kind of family history involving gun violence?? Even then, that would be out of line, I think.

So, is the post 'real or Memorex?'

It is all part of the new 'Open and Transparent' health care system. 'If you like your gun.... You can keep it!'
We live in the everybody wants to know everything and what time you did it. Time to get out of this mode & go back to minding our own business. How about having to give your credit card number to register your drone? Seems to me the gov't wants to charge stuff on you if you buy a drone now.

Are you kidding! The government wants to charge stuff off on you regardless of whether or not you do anything at all! Like paying them if you DON'T buy healthcare!
I know it's not a good thing to tell a lie------- BUT --I would lie to any medical "professional" asking about if I posessed a firearm in my home. Remember you have to sign some form about shareing your medical information----name the governmental agency here.....
As I said in a previous post on this thread, "Just say no!!"
Kaos
Kaos----- Gone but not forgotten.

It is not the doctors or the insurance companies that want this information, it is the Federal Government. The Anti-gun folks are determined to confiscate all our guns and they think if a doctor asks us a question we will all answer him or her. They really think they are smarter than the general population. The current resident of the White House would like nothing better than to turn the Department of Homeland Security loose on us and bang on our doors and take all our guns!! He is obsessed with this!!! Just my $.02.

This is no Joke, This is real. Now, if you can afford privet health care, you may not be asked this question.

I was one of those that was affected by Health Republic's departure from the Healthcare business...
