Hey 9.

Agree with this proposed bill or disagree?

Florida Bill Would Bar Doctors From Asking Patient or Family About Guns in Home

Fla. State Rep. Jason Brodeur has introduced H.B. 155, which provides:
1)(a) A verbal or written inquiry by a public or private physician, nurse, or other medical staff person regarding the ownership of a firearm by a patient or the family of a patient or the presence of a firearm in a private home or other domicile of a patient or the family of a patient violates the privacy of the patient or the patient's family members, respectively.
(b) A public or private physician, nurse, or other medical staff person may not condition receipt of medical treatment or medical care on a person's willingness or refusal to disclose personal and private information unrelated to medical treatment in violation of an individual's privacy as specified in this section.
(c) A public or private physician, nurse, or other medical staff person may not enter any intentionally, accidentally, or inadvertently disclosed information concerning firearms into any record, whether written or electronic, or disclose such 43 information to any other source.
A violation would be a third degree felony and could be punished with a fine “of not more than $5 million if the court determines that the person knew or reasonably should have known that the conduct was unlawful.” As the Palm Beach Post reports, the NRA has identified the bill a priority item on its agenda for this Florida legislative session.

I'll bet on his answer.

Spoiler: Show

Of course, he supports this completely.

What the hell do I care about Florida?

The question isn't about the state, it's about laws relating to gun ownership and whether a doctor should be fined and risk years in jail for inquiring if a patient owns a gun or if someone in his abode owns one.

If it helps, hypothetically, imagine the law is being introduced in AZ


I'll allow you time to hunt the blogs for an opinion of your own

It does not apply to Arizona. It is common knowledge that everyone there has a gun and is willing to use it at the slightest provocation.
I have relatives there. One of them is a volunteer on the night 'border shoots', the prey being illegal immigrants.

Ah, a sportsman.
Some states take littering more seriously than others, apparently.

You have relatives here?! What part of the state?

A verbal or written inquiry by a public or private physician, nurse, or other medical staff person regarding the ownership of a firearm by a patient or the family of a patient or the presence of a firearm in a private home or other domicile of a patient or the family of a patient violates the privacy of the patient or the patient's family members, respectively.

I have a problem with the word "private". If it is a private physician, the law should not apply to him. He should be able to run his business [medical office] as he wants to.

Can you tell me what reason a private doctor would need to inquire about firearms that wouldn't apply to a public doctor?

I hope you are joking on this. Would you be happy with doctors operating on people with no strict guidelines from a governing authority? Or are you thinking it would be O.K. to 'get a kidney' by whatever means because a private doctor will transplant it with no questions asked? Without control we would end with frankensteins all over the world.
