I had to make a trip to my general practitioner today for some lingering problems I've finally go fed up with. I have not been there in two years so they had me fill out the obligatory forms. On one of the forms it asked me if I had a gun in the house. I answered yes. I suspect my physician is as liberal as they come. It will be interesting to see if anything is said going forward. I may be going back quite frequently if they can't find the problem. Stay tuned.

I would have wrote none of their business. I have already instructed both of my children to give that answer if any doctor, dentist, etc asks that question.

I would not answer it, or answer it "No". It is none of their business.

I'd leave any question I felt was not relevant to the medical exam blank. Doesn't matter if it is about guns or something else. If they don't like it too bad.

Huh?
Why is it any other their business?
My standard answer for questions like that is "NOYFB" or "NA" if I'm in a good mood.
I am lucky though my doc is a gun nut and a hunting nut and a fishing nut. Some of the conversations we have are about more than just health

Heh...I don't fill out any of them except the pertinent questions(symptoms, family history, etc...). Everything else gets left blank. Don't give them any room. If you answer some of them and only skip the obvious ones (firearms drugs etc...) then that leaves them room to think about it and form their own "opinion". By not answering ANY of them, they can't form any opinion ...

Sometimes the lack of knowledge is power.

Good answers. And if I see that question on a form, I'm not going to be in a good mood, so I'll probably never make it to "NA".

what in the world.....

i would state N/A because it is none of their business.

I hope you don't mind me borrowing your answer from now on Rugergirl.
