Well to get this thread back on track, I'd ask the doctor if he/she knew anything about gun safety... and then I'd proceed to school the fool by asking the doctor for common sense 'gun safety' advice, like would they recommend a double action or single action trigger on a pistol, did they think a firearm would be safe from accidental discharge if the magazine was removed, what should be done in the event of a misfiring round, how should I properly clear a malfunctioning round or a jam, then ask them to remind me what those four pesky rules of gun safety are....please show me his/her gun safety training certificate!
Speaking of safety training certificate, dispensing of medical advice requires umpteen certifications/licenses, etc. It would be a great idea for the various state legislatures to require doctors, as a condition of dispensing gun-safety advice, to take an NRA-approved gun safety class as a prerequisite to discussing firearms with patients....just saying! Heck, might even convert a few of them to our side.
