Join the #1 community for gun owners of the Northwest
We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
Last questionnaire I was handed at the doctor and told to fill out had all sorts of questions I deemed inappropriate and irrelevant for the reason I was seeking medical assistance.
I handed it back to the employee and said, I'm not going to fill this out, it is optional and I am choosing the option to leave it blank.
She was visibly irritated because she was obviously used to sheep who do what they are told when told to fill out a form 3 pages long with questions like "are there guns in the house" and "how are the guns stored" - etc.
Doctors, Police, city, state, and federal employees - the less you say, the better, in my opinion.
I left the gun in the car and went in with an empty holster & 2 mags in holders on my belt. One of the assistants asked me what I carry and knew what a Steyr S9 is.
When I turned 65, new medical facility, new doctor, new question form. Question number # Do you have firearms in your house? I left it blank. Receptionist says, "Do you know you didn't answer question #?" My answer, "Yes I know that."
I think a doctor saying, "depression is a real issue and if you're depressed and have access to guns, it increases chances of suicides. IF you have guns remember to get help. Here's a brochure."
Give a brochure. Don't ask if they have guns just make it common sense to let all people know to be aware whether or not they're gun owners.
The doctor doesn't have to know and that sure as hell doesn't have to go into a medical record but they can give info.
Me: "Hi, I'd like to see the doctor about my cough and earache."
Receptionist: "Certainly, just fill out this questionnaire."
