[QUOTE="LightningCrash, post: 2390554, member: 4278"] Really really, you're redirections all around. A pediatrician doesn't have to be an SME on fire or firearms to distribute pertinent advice where those topics intersect your child's health and development. [s]Your Ped doesn't have to be an electrician to recommend outlet covers, doesn't have to be a chemical engineer to recommend that you put up your bleach, doesn't have to be a remodeler to recommend that you don't leave the cords from your blinds hanging down near cribs, doesn't have to be a fireman to recommend that you remove/secure the hip-high knobs from your stove, doesn't have to be a chef to recommend that you cut up your toddler's hot dogs, doesn't have to manufacture shoes to recommend that you put shoes on your kid, and doesn't have to be an NRA and CLEET certified instructor to recommend that you don't leave loaded, unlocked guns where kids can get to them. [/s] I didn't see his post when replying, but tRidiot really covered all of that part pretty well. Now after 5 kids I have been asked just about everything, but I did find that our Ped's office was set up to give a free gun lock pamphlet to anyone who said they had guns in their home. It had 5 or 6 addresses where you could get free gun locks around OKC and some more crap about where to learn about gun safety. No expertise required for that. ETA: One thing I've noticed is that they ask the question a very specific way. They don't ask if you [b]own[/b] guns, they just want to know if there are any guns in the house itself. If you just have a shotgun in the shed, it sounds like they put down "no." [/QUOTE]
