What the fuck Illinois

No harm in asking.
“No ma’am, no guns here.”
Much harm in lying though.
The doctor has a right not to get lied to and not to get coerced to ask invasive questions. If he wants to inform people about gun safety then let him send it electronically in some welcome package for all new patients.
It’s not medically relevant. I could say “it’s not relevant” or “I have the right not to answer” or “ yes, I do but I don’t see how that’s relevant” -all of those responses elevate the situation negatively against you.
Ask a uniformed, irrelevant question, and I’ll give you an answer. You can verify that answer if you’d like, but imo misinforming them of something they have no business in asking/knowing is different than being a liar.
They do that shit in PA
This will only make more 2A parents teach their kids about 5A.
The Cobra Effect is real.
Schools in a number of states have already been doing this for some time.
As have some children's hospital networks.
Just lie to their fucking face. There is no way for them to self-verify. If you answer honestly then you get put on a list.
