I've heard of this before but until right now I've never actually seen it. My wife filling out paperwork for a new obgyn and it was asked on the new patient forms. I told her not to answer it she said she was just going to check no because she didn't feel like listening to anything from the doctor lol. Thought I'd share.

Just write "nun-ya" next to the question.

I'm a Health Insurance Agent, I get this one once a week.

It is supposedly part of an AMA thing to combat gun accidents and such. They will encourage you to store it unloaded, dissassembled, with the ammo buried outside or up in your attic. Our Pediatrician had it on the form, I left it bank, they said it was to know who to give out a safety pamphlet and that they even had a dozen or so trigger locks to give out to new parents if they wanted one. I still left it blank on all of the kids.

Don't forget about Obamacare's "Electronic medical records" provision. Don't think that a scanned copy of that form could not be viewed by some bureaucrat at HHS. I don't trust anyone with that info.

I recommend that you leave it blank. If a nurse or someone asks... tell them that you left it blank on purpose and leave it at that. Anything else will get it marked "yes" and, in the end, that is the option that you do not want.

Writing things like "MYOB" or "nun-ya" or anything else... will be assumed to be a big, fat "YES!".

Either leave it blank, or check "no".

My new physician at a family medicine clinic in Frisco came so dangerously close to asking this question, as he ran through a laundry list of about 25 items have to do with lifestyle and "safety". Not sure how I would have reacted, but something to the effect of "why do you need to know that?"

I'm so out on this topic. I don't understand how this is a doctor's business. Do they ask about pools? Ladders? Gas stoves or fireplaces? NO!

YUP, its all got to be digital now so that lil form wont necessarily stay with your doctor. My doctors ranted several times about the cost associated with going all digital and how it's slowed down the practice having to use it.
I dont think my doctor would ever put that on a form as i know he's very big on privacy and has a chl himself but if it was i'd check NO.

somewhat related, but the question was on my home alarm permit... i left it blank.

honestly if someone told me "none of your business" to that question i would assume it means yes. I would just check no or not answer it.

On another forum this subject came up, and one said he answered, "no, but I have a lot of swords".

None of my doctors have ever asked that question, either on a form or face-to-face. My primary care doctor knows and she could not care less. She has seen me remove my pistol and stow it on a chair many times.

A few months ago, she left the physician's group she was with and moved to a new group. A bit later, I got an email that the group had moved again. There were several moves due to delays in getting the new digs ready for business, so I missed that it was from the OLD group.

I showed up for my appointment only to find a proper 30.06 sign on the building front door. After finding out I was in the wrong place and where her new place was, I re-armed and drove to my REAL appointment. I told her I was glad she wasn't in the other building because they had a sign I didn't like. I was bummed, thinking I would have to find a new doctor. She just grinned and winked.

Like I've said, before "It's not against the law to lie to your doctor." Your wife answered that question correctly. Any other way would tell them that you do. Do like the libtards and anti-gun folks do and spew false information.
