If a doctor asks if you drink and drive would you say it is none of his business? How about if you drink and drive with children in your car? How about if you know how to properly install a car seat for a child? And if you always buckle the child into that properly installed car seat? How about if you store potential toxins under your sink or in a place easily reached by a curious toddler? How about whether you apply sunscreen to your children? Whether you smoke, and if yes do you always smoke outside the home?

All of these and more are not only legitimate questions but recommended ones from the American Academy of Pediatrics to be asked at some or all well child visits, as is gun ownership. Are they all none of the doctor's business?

This law came about because a friend of mine did his job and a gun owner said it was None of His Business and threatened to sue him for asking the question. He discharged her for refusing to answer his question.
The law as originally proposed by Rep J Brodeur and "written" by the NRA had a five MILLION dollar fine, a felony conviction, five years in jail, and loss of medical license if a Florida doctor asked about gun ownership. Read that again. That is what the NRA wanted and the original language of the bill. Look it up. Google Jason Brodeur, R-Sanford, (HB 155)

It was amended to its present, unconstitutional form which still includes penalties up to $10,000 fine and loss of medical license.

So, guest, I'm not sure what "I don't have a problem with it" means. You don't have a problem being asked if you own guns? You don't have a problem being advised on storage safety? You don't have a problem with the law which Bondi didn't defend? Or, you don't have a problem with being discharged from a medical practice for refusing to answer the doctor's routine or even non-routine questions? You see no patient was discharged for owning guns or Dr Okonkwo wouldn't have a practice. It was the I refuse to answer reply. You have the right to remain silent, yes. The doctor has a right to select the patients for whom he provides care and reject those who refuse to cooperate.
