"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.Originally posted by Fortified PeasantI can agree with that, but there are a lot of dangerouse items im my home like a set of large knives in a block on my kitchen counter but they did not ask me about those.
Having guns in the house; however, is still a real enough variable that some think to ask if they feel it's relevant.

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."What is a moderate interpretation of the text? Halfway between what it really means and what you'd like it to mean?"

It's like that "by design" you knowOriginally posted by Fortified PeasantYeah, I really wish my wife would have let me answer that question. It's BS how they ask in a string of questions, I kind of disarms a person.

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.It's a Public Health and Safety thing. Seatbelts and baby seats, cabinet locks for cleaners and poisons, safely secured guns, swimming pool gates, store medications out of reach, tightly capped, etc. Probably an item on a list of subjects to discuss with new parents.
It's not a political thing (except for the usual haplophobes).Comment

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 CooperComment
