Actually they do inspect the front and backyards as well. It seems that they are very strict and thorough when conducting their search of the home.

Piss off, ghost!
The ladies at the daycare center (in FredCo) that we previously used were all smokers. Not a big deal to us, as they only lit up ourside. We sents kids there for ~2yrs, no problems. But earlier this summer a bunch of new No Smoking signs appeared outside and within the center. No smoking related violations appeared in their annual inspection notice, but I wondered if some new regs were passed recently. Maybe new weapons/alcohol regs are being enforced, too.
According to post 1, the inspector was confirming the licensee did not have alcohol firearms or persons who smoke in the residence. IMHO, they have the right to regulate the storage of those items but not their presence, since they are all legal. According to that statement, they could not employ someone who smokes EVEN IF THAT PERSON OBSTAINED FROM SMOKING AT WORK. Sounds like typical government overreach. The report repeated a statement that the inspector forced the operator to make. If the statements are false, they could be sanctioned for making a false statement to a Government official. Regulations are not made by intimidation. If I were the operator, I'd schedule a meeting with the inspector's supervisor and ask to see the actual state and county regulations that generated the questions. And in the future (assuming the actual regulations regulate storage and not presence) when asked, I'd say " any such items, if present, are stored so as to prevent access by children"
You wouldn't get one. CCW is banned in daycare centers by statute.

This is true for commercial daycare centers but not for home daycare...

I don't think "they" are prohibiting you from firearm ownership.
I believe it's straight forward with no ambiguity. Such as, do you have firearms? Yes/No? If so, I would take a good guess they need to be locked up and in a room that is not part of the daycare business.
I stand corrected.
My recollection is this only applies when asked to refrain by a police officer. My goole foo is weak, as your cite of C R 4-208 brought me to something unrelated, so I could be full of $%i!

The answers you seek are in COMAR. Skip to the 30 pages or so of COMAR detailing daycare facilities.
I have a lot of family with home daycare and they own guns. From what they have told me they have to make the parents aware but they are also locked up in a non daycare room. I was recently asked by my daughters pediatrician if I owned guns and how many. Why does that matter to a doctor?
Because guns are a public health issue and doctors need to know if you own guns so they can flag you as a risk. Just more government intrusion 1984 style.

When All Else Fails.
It doesn't matter to a doctor.
It matters to a busybody.
Perhaps a left leaning, gun grabbing, busybody.
PS: Never answer ANY questions that aren't directly related to actual medical care.

I totally agree.
But the American Medical Association has touted for years that firearms are a medical health problem. That’s where all this talk about firearms is coming from with your doctor asking questions.
This article is more recent that just reaffirms their agenda.
https://www.ama-assn.org/ama-recommends-new-common-sense-policies-prevent-gun-violence
I remember years ago when filling out new patient forms one of the questions was, Do you own firearms?
I’m talking 20 years ago and more.
I always left that question blank.
I remember PSAs aimed at parents of young children. The child was shown knocking at the door of a friend's house wearing a flak jacket. Because, you know, those guns tend to jump up and start shooting for no apparent reason. The message was before you send your child over to play always ask if there are firearms in the house. This is not a new phenomenon. Its social engineering aimed at the majority in the middle that neither owns guns nor have a strong opinion regarding gun control. If they can make it more uncomfortable for those of us that choose to own firearms they can move the needle. The questions from doctors are no different.

Are you paranoid the daycare inspection lady from the state is going to pull out a Motorola radio and call in to "dispatch" and ask for a list of firearms? LOL

The inspections are capable of shutting down shop. It is not a light hearted matter.
Half dozen kids, their parents out daycare and a provider out a way to pay the bills.

Right, but still hard to imagine in +10 years this has never been brought up before, to even include getting licensed to run a home daycare.
I'm all for some conversation but isn't his question better suited for his wife to ask the MD daycare people? I assume her name would be on the MD Daycare license you hang up?
