Anyone here into firearms?

I contend that it well outside a doctor's job description to ask about a lifestyle issue that is already statutorily covered. There are already laws on the books in most states regarding gun ownership, use, and storage. My possession, use, or storage of my firearms is none of my doctor's business, no matter who or what agency has "suggested" that he ask about them. His job, the job I hire him to do, is advise me on my health care. Where I store my guns and how I use them are law enforcement issues, not health care issues. If anyone wants to know what role firearms play in my life...they can send a deputy to my house with a warrant, if they can find probable cause.

For clarification...I am a physician.
