Doctors office in a tizzy after I left a copy of "American Rifleman" in waiting room

So I take my kids in for a well visit and leave behind an American Rifleman Mag in the waiting room. Three days later wifey gets a call about it. The office manager wants me to call her back. OMG the antis bundies are in a undle. Should I or shouldn't I? :) We do like the doctor.

I would find every copy of American Rifleman, guns and ammo, and every other magazine that involves the 2A and make sure they office has a steady supply....names and addresses cut out of course.

"Sorry, doc. Because I can't stand reading the socialist pap in your waiting room while waiting for you to clear your deliberate overbooking, I usually bring my own. I must have forgotten to pick it up on my way out. Thanks for calling me, though. I've been wondering where I'd left it. Its got a great article on how more people die from medical mistakes than guns, so I was really hoping it wasn't lost. I'll be right over to pick it up."

+1, and I almost never do that.

I'd ignore them for a while first, unless you really want it back because you left it accidentally. You might get lucky and someone will read it and be surprised there was nothing evil inside.

If they're calling with information about the kids, they would have told your wife.
Anything else, blow them off, at least for a while.
Heck, it took them 3 days to notice & be offended.
(Though I do like Citizen's approach.)
Let this be a lesson to you - always remove or scratch out your personal info when leaving magazines.

Ha Ha LOL I'll try it here. Somehow I am going to create a website in my area of gun friendly stores so people can take their pick and do business with those who respect the 2A. besides docs are in collusion with the anti 2As anyway. it is a health issue LOL!!!

So are medical mistakes. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. When a doctor asks if there are guns in the home, just ask him how many medical mistakes he's made, explaining that more people die from medical mistakes every year than from guns. It would seem to be far more important to interview him about his experience, how many times he's made mistakes, whether he had a good night's sleep, and so forth.

Yeah well I actually did have the name covered with a Sharpie Magnum Permanent Marker with a false address label over that (made out to the doctors office of course). Some sleuth took the time to peal back the label and use a solvent to reveal the original name. Makes me giggle thinking about the amount of effort that was put into the detective work. This is an office located on the fashionable east side of MKE. The heart of leftyville. I am sure some tree hugging, Outpost shopping, Sheryl Crow one square wipe libtard went into an absolute freak as she paroozed the available reading material. Ahh the simple pleasures...

how about "No gun magazines with more than 10 pages".

(7 pages in new york).

Don't you people know it isn't the magazine nor the content of the magazine but the person that reads the magazines that is the problem. A magazine laying on the table is just a magazine until someone picks it up and reads it.

I like your idea, I think I will start printing out address labels with well known anti-gun activists and leave all my old magazines such as guns and ammo in doctors offices in liberal anti-gun neigborhoods.

True, magazines never hurt anyone by themselves. It takes a person to roll one up and hit you with it to cause injury.

www.friendorfoe.us has existed for years & is nationally known & used
Anybody can add a rating on a business.

Good grief. They sure were determined to be offended.
If the office policy is to not accept donations of reading material, I think they'd post a notice.

When leaving magazines, I've always used a ballpoint pen to scribble lots of little loops across my info, usually followed up with a sharpie. Could also be cut out, depending on where it's placed. [ETA: where the personal info is placed on the magazine cover.]

Heh. I can hear Sarah Brady: "if that magazine only had 10 pages instead of 40, it wouldn't have hurt as much when he rolled it up and started hitting people with it!"
Fewer pages = fewer paper cuts too
Of course, then it's not as effective at controlling / correcting the dog, but it's for safety donchaknow.

All I would say to them is "REALLY? REALLY? You're getting your bowels in an uproar over some stapled pieces of paper? Get a F[tasty word for making love]ING life! I've got some other pieces of paper that you might be interested in. It's called money! When I come to your office I'm there spending money. You remember money, don't you lefty? You like money, don't you? Everyone needs money. That's why it's called MONEY! Just throw the magazine away and continue with your pointless life if you don't like it. Next time maybe I'll leave a Hustler, or a zillion copies of Jehovah Witness crap. But don't call here again unless it's to confirm an appointment!!!!!!!" *CLICK!*
