Eh, personally I rather know if the doctor I'm seeing at the moment is more interested in being a social engineer and supporting political rhetoric over fact, than in practicing medicine.
It's been beat to death here before but if a doctor asks you if you have guns in the home, ask him why he's not asking you if you have any 5 gallon buckets or stairs since both of those are much more likely causes of injury or death.
You waive certain 1A rights when you take a job. It's your right to cuss up a storm but the employer doesn't have to keep employing you if it violates its policy.
Well that's only because the bill of rights is protection against the government, not individuals.
There are still private property rights I assume.
Yes, the proprieters can still hand gun free shingles, but the docs cant ask solely about guns in the home while conducting business.
Its one step closer to being normalized as a right, such as you cant be chastized about your religion in a doctors office.
I would bet that most of the docs who ask about guns in the home are very good docs. They are the "no stone left unturned" kind of people who believe in going the extra mile for your health and safety. They went into medicine to make a difference, and will try to look at every aspect of your life. I think it is a bit elitist, but some of the best doctors in the world think they are the best doctor in the world.

Unfortunately, most of those with M.D. after their names who should not have a license to practice medicine also think they are the best doctors in the world.
The MSM appears to be re-injecting this story into the news stream through editorials and regurgitation. Seems like they're framing the legal victory as a 1A triumph. Yay! The doctor has a RIGHT to ask about and document your firearms ... but apparently you don't have the privilege to refuse to answer.
So the State is wasting taxpayer money defending against frivolous lawsuits. You pesky gun owners need to stop costing us money.
