FLORIDA ALERT: BILL TO PROHIBIT MEDICAL PERSONNEL FROM INQUIRING OF PARENTS AND CHILDREN IF THERE ARE GUNS IN THE HOME - CALL NOW

SB 432 – Medical Privacy for Gun Owners

Criminal Justice Committee Hearing Scheduled for 2/22/11

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 17, 2011

SB 432 is on the agenda of the FL Senate Committee on Criminal Justice on Tuesday, February 22nd at 9:00am. Florida Carry, Inc. urgently requests that the membership call the phone numbers below and/or send e-mails via the links provided to each of the members of the committee in support of Senate Bill 234.

The NRA authored bill prohibits medical personnel from inquiries regarding gun ownership, prohibits refusal of service based on gun ownership, and affords penalties for offenders.

The American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics have embarked on a path of gun control activism. Long aligned with anti-gun proponents, they now encourage their members to ask about the presence and storage of firearms from both patients and their children and to record the responses. Refusal to provide such information by the patient may be met by refusal of service.

Basing service on whether or not one practices of a constitutionally-protected right is discriminatory. Creating a "gun registry" violates statute. Interrogating children is deplorable.

Florida Carry, Inc. supports SB 432, and encourages its members and all gun owners/carriers to join us in contacting the Senators Criminal Justice Committee.
