Gump Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'm not sure if this is legit...Passing it on. I've never been asked?Very good information! What you permit , you promote!When I had my gangrene gallbladder taken out and spent 10 days in the hospital for what should have been an overnight stay the insurance company kicked me out. I had home nurse visits for two weeks and was asked if I had guns in the house. I responded that if I did I would not tell them. So the below has some merit. FYI, I am passing this along...there are comments from two other people who have also been asked if we keep guns in the house. The nurse just kinda slipped it in along with all the other regular questions. I told her I refused to answer because it was against the law to ask. Everyone, whether you have guns or not, should give a neutral answer so they have no idea who does and who doesn't. My doctor asked me if I had guns in my house and also if any were loaded. I, of course, answered yes to both questions. Then he asked why I kept a loaded gun close to my bed. I answered that my son, who is a certified gun instructor and also works for Homeland Security, advised me that an unloaded, locked up gun is no protection against criminal attack. The Government now requires these questions be asked of people on Medicare, and probably everyone else. Just passing this along for your information: I had to visit a doctor other than my regular doctor when my doctor was on vacation.. One of the questions on the form I had to fill out was: Do you have any guns in your house?? My answer was None of your damn business!! So it is out there! It is either an insurance issue or government intervention. Either way, it is out there and the second the government gets into your medical records (as they want to under Obamanation care) it will become a major issue and will ultimately result in lock and load!! Please pass this on to all the other retired guys and gun owners...Thanks, from a Vietnam Vet and retired Police Officer: I had a doctors appointment at the local VA clinic yesterday and found out something very interesting that I would like to pass along. While going through triage before seeing the doctor, I was asked at the end of the exam, three questions: 1. Did I feel stressed? 2. Did I feel threatened? 3. Did I feel like doing harm to someone? The nurse then informed me, that if I had answered yes to any of the questions, I would have lost my concealed carry permit as it would have gone into my medical records and the VA would have reported it to Homeland Security. Looks like they are going after the vets first. Other gun people like retired law enforcement will probably be next. Then when they go after the civilians, what argument will they have?Be forewarned and be aware. The Obama administration has gone on record as considering veterans and gun owners potential terrorists. Whether you are a gun owner, veteran or not, YOU"VE BEEN WARNED ! If you know veterans and gun owners, please pass this on to them. Be very cautious about what you say and to whom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 guns only have 1 objective and thats to kill innocent people. If you own a gun then you want to purposely kill innocent people. I do not wish to have such a device made for only killing innocent people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's a standard questionnaire used/ should have been used since a long time, to access the risk of self harm. Usually we get to these when we suspect patient is having some depression or mood disorder etc use that on every one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bear in mind that gun control fearmongering that invokes Obama's name usually get eye rolls from moderates like me - and i have plenty boomsticks. Your guns are your business, not the government's - ANY government's. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashweights Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Physicians can't legally disclose anything you tell them, unless you say you're going to hurt someone or yourself. Asking if there are guns in the home is part of the suicide screen too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Personally, I MAY have a couple of guns in the house, but in truth, you enter my house, I have a really nice 30" aluminum baseball bat that will totally be willing to greet you in the darkness... I think it would be MUCH more effective than a gun. But then again, my laser in the dark may cause you to rethink your unauthorized entry...I just find these types of things funny as some people blame whomever the president is but do not realize these things have been issues for as long as it has been the right of us Americans to maintain arms. Blame the Obama guy or just wait until a doucher like Romney gets in. Whatever the case, nobody will EVER be happy with whomever the president is. That's just fact. But, to blame the president for these silly and stupid issues is as silly and stupid...Rant over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
