Most of you are a little paranoid. The health care providers, whether doctors or nurses, are simply assessing home safety. Most of them are NOT firearms owners so they are no different than the majority of sheeple in society. By that I mean they blindly follow the guidelines promulgated by a bunch of do-gooders, who happen to be doctors on policy panels. The type of doctors who end up on such panels often are there because they're not very good at taking care of patients or they have political agendas.
That being said, no one is collecting that data for the government, like all information you give a doctor it is protected (save direct threats to self or others).
Answer the question any way you want. Don't over react. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

There have been enough child deaths involving firearms that this question, unfortunately, is relevant. It may only be relevant in an infinitesimally small number of cases, but of course how are doctors supposed to divine which gun owners are reckless and clueless, and which are responsible?
Much as we might like to pretend it ain't so, some people are just dumb as a box of rocks, and criminally irresponsible, to boot - and you know it's true. And, unfortunately, *some* of those rock-dumb idiots also own firearms. They're the ones we read about in the news doing idiotic things and making the rest of us responsible gun owners look bad.
So, it's no mystery why doctors ask a whole range of health/environmental/risk questions as they relate to a child or minor.

If the question is relevant, then why don't they ask questions about the thousands of things that cause death/injury more than guns?
Like pools, knives, prescription meds, violent offenders, etc.
I think they asked me if I owned a pool, how I store cleaning chemicals, etc.
If the Brady bunch is for it then I'm pretty sure I'm against it.
