Phone call asking about guns in home

[STBear]

We get a few calls a year from our Medicare Advantage Plan offering a "totally free" in home visit from a nurse who specializes in senior care and who will check the home and offer suggestions for better safety, etc etc.

"No thanks"

I get the same thing. They even offer gift certificates. They have my junk phone number and everything goes to the voice mail.

The correct answer is, "What do I look like an idiot? Ofcourse there are guns in my house."

[mmi]

of course not comrade "in a Russian ascent "

There is probably more "incident" of home care providers hurting their patients then patients shooting their providers.

I think the best response to a question like this is:

How much money do you have in the bank, and how often do you and your spouse fool around.?

When you get the look of outrage, simply mention that since you think it's appropriate to ask me personal questions about things that are none of your business, I just assumed I could do likewise to you.

If you reply anything other than "No, I do not have any guns in my home", they will automatically assume that you do have firearms in your home. Even if you answer "Yes, I have firearms in my home and they are all secured in a safe." they will proabaly only note "Guns in house" and not note anything else you said. Remember they have an agenda.

"Do you have guns in the house?"

"What are you wearing?"

Uh….Khakis?

[Eddie Dean]

Just deny you have anything because Black Lives Matter. Saying that will net you massive SJW points.

I get the same thing. They even offer gift certificates. They have my junk phone number and everything goes to the voice mail.

I just got an email offering that "service", the offer was a $15 gift card.
Hard pass on that.

"There have been incidents."I bet that there have been a few including dogs in patient's homes yet she didn't ask if you have any dogs in the home.

I'd be more concerned with dog owners than gun owners.
