Boundary Violation: Gun Politics in the Doctor’s Office in 2016
by AmmolandUSA – -(Ammoland.com)- Well before Florida’s Amber Ullman incident in the summer of 2010, gun control activist doctors had been poking and prodding a sore spot.

Meddling Florida Doctors Lose, Gun Owners Win Again
by AmmolandUSA – -(Ammoland.com)- Angry and frustrated gun prohibitionists across America seem to be boiling over these days.
The social activist Florida doctors who believe their medical degrees give them the right to attack the Second Amendment have just been dealt the latest in a series of humiliating defeats in federal court.
With a third decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit has clarified and reinforced its previous decisions and reaffirmed the constitutionality of Florida’s Firearm Owners Privacy Act (FOPA). The law prohibits doctors from asking patients about guns in their homes unless there is, in the doctor’s judgment, a good medical reason to do so. FOPA applies similar restrictions to documenting such conversations in the patient’s medical record.
