You support government intrusion???

If your son was asked at school if Daddy has guns at home...You'd be ok with that question and the answer to that if it came up???

Unless of course you've got it already covered with your kid, right???

Yer pulling my leg right???

The law would prohibit doctors, etc., from asking questions about guns in the home. Since the schools are government run, any questions asked by the schools are a government intrusion. I would support the law that would prohibit the government schools from asking about guns in the home.

I would not support such a law aimed at private businesses.

Opps...So it took me a day to get back into this converstaion to figure out what I had mis-interpreted...

My bad...And my apologies...Sometimes the noggin' doesn't catch "everything"...At least I can admit it...Sorry "tx"...

I was actually amazed (yes amazed!) that you missed this so badly. For all of your joking around, etc. you nearly always get things right. I hereby rescind my invocation of G. Boole, the father of modern logic, AND will endeavour to withhold critiques, OR at least allow an opportunity for the target to make their own amends regarding any future occurrences of logical breakdowns; or NOT.

Very Best Regards,

Tom

OK everyone, how long will it take Stevie to figure this out?
George Boole is rolling over in his grave, with laughter, or NOT.

Just spoke with my daughter, who is a Pediatrician in VA, about this issue. She says that their practice has a written survey form that parents fill out regarding their home environment and it does have a gun storage question on it. She also said that she never asks, nor even mentions guns, when she talks to parents as she feels it is none of her business.
She offered that she could better serve the parents by asking about swimming pools, walkers, bathtubs, etc. but that too she feels is getting too intrusive.
When I mentioned that the bill is rolling along and that their form may have to change her only comment was, "cool".
And while she isn't my "shooter" daughter she does have a small semiauto and we do fit in range sessions whenever I visit them. I usually get all three of the girls together and we spend a few hours at a range in Raleigh, NC where I can rent an entire indoor shooting range for just us.
Nothing like a little bonding.

Kind Regards,

Tom
