OT: Asked if I had a gun in my home during physical.

Thanks, Mac.

But I have a sneaking suspicion that your lines, in the spur of the moment, in real life, would be perfect.

That outta get 'em thinking!

or, if Letterman were to make a top-ten list of possible answers . . .

A: "That depends. Does my parole officer need the court's permission to see my medical records?"

A: "No, not since that time that I . . . oh, never mind."

A: "I'm not sure; I seem to keep losing things, these days."

A: "No, I traded it in for a working light-sabre after my Jedi training."

A: "I think my kid took it to school for show-and-tell today."

A: "Not yet. I've been waiting for Wal-Mart to put the one I want on sale."

A: "Yep. Two for my Wii. Nail gun. Solder gun. Caulk gun. Should I go on?"

A: "The voices in my head won't let me have one."

A: "Do you mean store-bought or homemade?"

A: "Yes, but I only use it to light cigars."

Gotta love it !
Seriously with the news yesterday about our I phones having a tracking chip in them , big brother already knows our whereabouts for the past year...In a way thats good, i can't remember sock color from yesterday. ....in a few years sensitive places will have nitrate sniffers to detect gun powder residue as you enter.. in the meantime the TSA gets media time for their policies(terrorists are laughing) . ..meanwhile drivers maintain an even deadlier weapon , especially while using hand held devises ...
it's just a crazy world with everyone trying to cover their own behind with more rules & regs.....you have to laugh to keep from crying

I like the way you analyze jnk.

I participated in that training ( law-enforcement 101) about 40 years ago.

I just saw chunkyfrog's post in another thread, viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48958&p=591056#p591056,

If I have to have another study, it will be there, too.

and it made me wonder how many of you carried your concealed handgun to your sleep study?

Can I just bring the crossbow?

Well, I have allowed testosterone to get the better of me and obtained a license to carry a concealed weapon. I have chosen to "pack" a Hoplite Spear (preferred weapon of the "300 Spartans")(although they carried enough armamentoria to make "Mad Max" look like a Quaker), and right now I am perfecting the art of the "Quick Draw" out of the shoulder holster.

ok her i am in the er tipign left handed (altho why tiping left hand suddinly creates speling errers I'll never kno) gettin a hundrid and forty stitches from a sparta spear wound boy thatz sharp...

Just this afternoon I caught myself screaming at the TV because a character dropped a pre-ban 14-round clip from his Glock and left it there.

Um, that ban ended years ago. You are free to but 10+ round mags to your heart's content.

Yep, buy all you want now. The reliability of a glock is extraordinary.

Not sure I could ever get the hang of fishing with one, though.

BINGO.....we have a winner. The state of Florida has a law under consideration to PROHIBIT doctors from asking that question. It is the big brother effect and I am dead set against them getting into my personal business and life.

Here is a little know factoid: If you have a carry permit and visit a V.A. location, guns are not allowed. If you secure your gun in your vehicle on their property, the gun can be taken, and you will be charged in court. You also sometimes are ask questions leading to your state of mind, if you answer the wrong way, you can be turned into Homeland Security, and will have your carry permit voided.

Many may say that's fine, it's to protect the public. Not so, it's to make the public easier to control. Jim

Do you think the government's plan for gun control is to have physicians tell their patients to put a lock on their weapons so their kids won't kill themselves?

Just how many drug dealers with Street Sweepers do you think get an "Annual Physical"?

No wait! I got it!

When the LA gang members come into the ED with about a dozen GSWs, part of the history and physical will include "Do you practice firearm safety?"

Nice job taking Texan's comment from the context it was intended, and inserting it into a ridiculous scenario. My concer, along with many others' is the recent Statist takeover of the U.S, medical system in conjunction with last few decades worth of failed 2nd Amendment attacks. The recent Supreme Court ruling has effectively killed overt attempts on gun control, so we are concerned, with good cause, about a back door approach on our 2nd Amendment right through denial of coverage by a bureaucratically administered medical system.
Your L.A. Gang bangers will of course ignore any new gun control laws or restrictions, as they do the current ones, because they are, by definition, criminals. We law-abiding citizens who take protection of our families seriously will be the only ones truly effected by gun control policies.
