Doctors office in a tizzy after I left a copy of "American Rifleman" in waiting room
- Thread starter tomm1963

I hope I am not the only one who finds this funny. I have been doing the same thing at those office’s for at least 10 years, ok 5 at that building and 5 at the old one. But it is how found out one my favorite M.D. is a gun person.
And I do it with the hope someone will ask a question or make a comment and it has started real conservations and twice I have actually handed the magazine to a person.
Don’t believe me don’t believe the magazine do some research and find out for yourself.

I just realized that we're all making assumptions...
Maybe the office gal wants to thank him for his contribution to the office reading material, and maybe even wants to ask if he knows any good instructors/ranges/shops in the area.

Or not. They told my wife that they were concerned it was an office employee that had ordered the subscription and they had called a staff meeting to discuss the issue and identify the evil doer. Which after some effort was revealed to be me.

Well I guess that since the office is posted and every time a go in for a well visit I leave with papers that say children with firearms in the home are more likely to be shot by the family gun than it will ever be used for protection...
I figure the office manager is working under orders. But really I do like the doc and how my kids are taken care of. I just am sick of the Anti, Anti BS.

A MD should be pro-gun. There is no disease that a gun cannot cure...

If you're simply making fun of people who commit suicide, you need more help than they can provide.

Magazines (Reading type)
I thought the idea of leaving my old NRA reading material at the MD's office was a great idea. So since I had a doctors appointment this past Friday, I took a stack of reading material with me. The office I utilize is on the buildings 4th floor. With that in mind I stopped on the lower three floors leaving reading material in the waiting rooms. Now it's a waiting game to see if I get a call or letter.
Got a bonus on Friday, the clinic was not posted (as in the past), I checked all three entrances. My next appointment is in three months. I might swing by just to double check.

Hehehe, no doubt.
So I have to ask....do you love this doctor? As I understand it, you really like this doctor, but you also stand for what you believe in. How many other doctors are out there? How many that can provide the service you need, and with a smile? The problem Americans have these days that say they believe in freedom, is passive acceptance. We simply continue to deal with the hand dealt, such is in this instance. On another note, I feel that America was built by action. If a business, organization or any other type of conglomeration treads on anything I stand for, I generally step around them and go to the next guy in line.
Just as equally disturbing, and perhaps even more so, is the fact that this office organized a "staff meeting" for fear that one of their employee's had a subscription to the NRA mag in question. Can you say, invasive? I have left a position in the past for this type of intrusion into my personal life. So what happened if somebody left a porno? Would that have attracted as much attention? I'm confused at this point.
Well these days everybody seems to have an opinion, but I look at it this way, like I said before; If you really believe in something, you will go out of your way to defend it and support it. If you commit to inaction, you propagate and support the liberal mentality. And action could simply mean switching where you eat out occasionally, or refusing to entertain a friend/relative and their anti-gun position.

Agree with what your saying and in most cases I do avoid Anti businesses. But, this is my childrens doctor not mine, I am not going to make them leave a doctor they trust and are comfortable with their entire lives so I can make a political point. I made my point and if this all falls by the wayside, so be it. But if on some future appointment I am singled out for reprimand over this nonsense...we may have to look elsewhere. Who knows they may refuse a future appointment.

You seem to have had a lengthy relationship with this doc. Does he know you, or does he focus on the child and leave the parent in the background. The staff meeting to find the "perp" sounds a bit off the deep end, Mate. What do they tell your children when you are not with them??

The porno analogy actually got me thinking. It would be absolutely appropriate to find out if an employee left it--and taking action against him if he did! A porno magazine would surely not present the professional image that the doctor would like to portray.
So, would the same apply to a firearms magazine? Absolutely. If the magazine does not present the image the doctor wants, he should find out if one of his employees put it there and take action if he did.
I wouldn't want porno in my office. I would probably leave some of my own firearms magazines. But I absolutely respect the right of the doctor to make the choice. He may be making it because he is an ignorant, emotional hoplophobe, or he may be considering the impact it would have on his patient base.

Either they are young enough to adapt, or old enough to where they should know what the world is really like.
The change is probably harder on the parent than the child.
