  • Health care providers cannot ask questions to patients or their families about whether they own a gun, unless the provider "believes that this information is relevant to the patient's medical care or safety, or the safety of others."
  • Health care providers cannot discriminate against patients because they own firearms.
  • Health care providers should "refrain from unnecessarily harassing a patient about firearm ownership during an examination."
