That's fine. But remember that he is practicing a profession, specifically medicine. He has a wall full of diplomas establishing that he has the proper education and licenses to practice that profession. He went to this or that medical school, interned here or there, etc.TxFire wrote:Our pediatrician has asked if we have guns in the home before. He then went on to recommend gun safes and trigger locks. This was all part of his standard child safety spill which also involved smoke detectors and child seats. His question was profession and non-intrusive, others may not be though.
So what are his professional qualifications to dispense home firearms safety advice? Is he an NRA certified instructor or training counsellor in Home Firearms Safety? Is he certified by the state? Is he certified by the AMA in Home Forearms Safety? Does he have any certificates establishing any of these things.
If not, I would question his standing to offer such advice in a professional setting. And I would do it to his face if the situation presented itself.
