    "Guns? No, no guns, but we DO have knives. Lots of knives. They're very sharp, and they're just kept in a drawer in the kitchen, and some of them in a block on the kitchen counter. Then there are all the toxic cleaning supplies under the sink. Oh, and the razor blades in the bathroom. But no guns, no, I wouldn't have those dangerous things in the house."

          None of her business but she is just asking because all too often kids get killed with parents guns.

          There was a poll on here about how CalGunners with kids stored their guns. I was shocked at how many didn't keep them locked up.
          If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

            I think it's a safe bet and assumption that you have large knives in your kitchen.
            Having guns in the house; however, is still a real enough variable that some think to ask if they feel it's relevant.

              She is too small to have a gun. Should I get her one when she is a little older?

                  Yes, you should. My dad never bought me a gun! I had to wait until I was out of the house and gainfully employed to buy my own. *snivel*

                    I would be VERY cautious about answering such questions at this point. The reason for the push for "electronic health records" is to allow Medicare (read "the government") easier access to records.

                    Such things are easy to highlight, and given the proclivity of politicians to be anti-gun, you don't really know where this information will lead. True, the government already has your registration information, so they know you own some. But such information is most likely going to be used to set your individual premium for health care.

                    Anti-gun legislature, EHR reports you have guns in the home, 100% increase in your family premiums.

                      There was a big flap about this in Florida. A judge barred doctors from asking about guns in the home.
                      A Florida law barring doctors from routinely asking patients if they own a gun creates a new set of problems, a primary care doctor writes.

                          Should I tell the Nurse that my two year old actually has his own AR build in process?

                              It's not a political thing (except for the usual haplophobes).
                              No it is a "boundary violation" (IE. an ethics violation) and a letter to the licensing board will result in an ethics investigation of the practitioner who asked the question. So the correct answer is to tell them that the question is a "boundary violation" and to ask them if they want you to report it or if they are going to report themselves. They will turn white as a sheet and then move on to the next question.

                                My kid is grown with her own kids, but when this question about guns in the house came up recently on this board it left some spur marks. I detest the nanny statism such lines of questioning represents. To the point it's intrusive and doesn't warrant a response.

                                The problem is, not answering actually IS an answer and will be recorded as such. So, in retrospect, my suggestion is to give the same response as I do to the unanswerable question we all face at various points in our life:

                                Question: "Do these pants make my butt look big?" (aka, "Do you have guns in the house?")

                                Answer: "Do I look stupid?"
                                "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles." -Colonel Jeff Cooper
