Title: This Is How a Secret Gun Provision Made its Way Into Obamacare Legislation

There’s a widely-unknown provision in the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) — legislative wording that is capturing attention in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Pushed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), a newly-noticed regulation that was placed deep within the bill back in 2010, among other things, bans doctors from documenting patients’ answers to questions that focus upon guns.

The Washington Post first reported on Dec. 30 about the presence of this controversial wording. Under a section with the headline “Protection of Second Amendment Gun Rights,” the NRA-advocated wording is nestled deep within the law. The Post called the inclusion, “a largely overlooked but significant challenge to a movement in American medicine to treat firearms as a matter of public health.”

I used to carry in my local VA Clinic.  After a half dozen visits where my carrying may have easily been noticed, the entrance was posted.   "For Your Protection, all firearms, knives and other weapons are prohibited on the premises."

In Ohio, being found to violate that posting is a permanent revoking of  your ccw permit. 

I leave my guns in the car and still carry the knife and Blackthorn Walking stick, neither of which count as violating the CCW law.

I've not objected to anyone either.  I don't need to have a hassle trying to keep these benefits. 

Didn't ask how being unarmed would protect me from anyone who chose not to obey that sign.
