Phone call asking about guns in home

[Bang]

The educated (medical doctors, etc) administrators of a local hospital evidently think a sign saying no weapons will protect all present in the facilities. Education is a wonderful thing.

Wife was discharged from the hospital recently. Today a rep from the visiting nurse company called, preliminarily to setting up appointments.

"Are there any guns in the home?" Yes, fifty-nine of them. "Is that a joke?" No. "Well...are they secured?" Of course.

"OK. There have been incidents". OH? Like what? "We're just following protocol". I see, you can't verify that statement. OK, yes, my wife will be home today. "Thank you. Have a good day". You too.

They are engaging in their version of safety regarding guns, but fifty-nine of them does not thwart their goal of obtaining work in the home. Interesting. I was so tempted to ask, "Men patients have penises, have there been any rapes"?

Welcome comrade.

Wasn't there a big hubbub recently about a home care company not allowing guns to be in the home of a patient?

[Bang]

Received follow-up call, appointment made. $$$ trumps, or, I passed their little probe.

What are they going to do, conduct a room to room search before administering care to you wife?

I remember something on it.

[Sparks]

None of their business.

"Did I do anything Illegal? Then what are you bothering me for", comes to mind.

"Of course, there are firearms, knives, screwdrivers, hammers, and a baseball bat or two in my home. All are capable of being employed as self-defense tools should me or my family member's lives be threatened with death or serious injury. I would never allow a stranger into my home without having such tools available. I would surely hope to God that this is the same for you and your home?"

Pretty much my answer...

"Men patients have penises, have there been any rapes"?

So transphobic. Men are not the only people with penises. The caller would have to define what a man is.
