I am actually with you (mostly) on this.
But, when every doc asks you this, what are you going to do?
I've never been asked. Well, my dentist when I lived in Scottsburg did ask once when he saw I was carrying. He then said he carried a .410 derringer so we had a little chat about getting a real gun, but otherwise I've never been asked. I've worn my gun to the doctor, to physical therapy, to the dentist, I've used the lock box when getting an MRI...and it's not once come up outside of the dentist thing.
If every doc asked me, I'd say "yes". I'm a cop. I've got an (expired) LTCH. My credit card receipts are full of Brownells, Midwest, SNS casting, Rocky Mountain Reloading, etc. I'm an NRA member. I've written politicians on gun related legislation. I'm probably wearing one or more when they ask me. I post on gun forums. It's not a secret I've got guns. If they then ask if they are safety stored, again I'll say "yes" because they are. I'm not any more offended by the question than when the ask me if I drink, smoke, or use narcotics, etc.
If I didn't want to answer, I'd just say so. We're all adults. I refuse to give my phone number to cashiers at retail stores, but I don't need a state law to prohibit them from asking me.
