- Doctors in Florida are allowed to ask patients if they own or posess firearms, as well as make recommendations vis a vis locks, safes, and the like.
- Doctors in Florida are neither mandated nor provided with any additional training to ensure they know what they're talking about re: firearms.
- Patients in Florida are free to tell their doctors that its not their business to know or say.
- Doctors (and insurers, for that matter) are forbidden from discriminating against firearms owners as patients.
I'm gonna call this one a win by freedom default. While attempts at backdoor firearms restrictions by reframing them as health issues is annoying (and yes, I remember what happened the last time the Cdc tried to "study"), we can fight that without restricting the 1st amendment rights of doctors in the process.
