Pleasure, not business.

They can ask anything they want. Lying to them about those two additional questions that are not required would not result in anything bad. Telling them what they want to hear is not against the law and is easier than telling them it is none of their business.

You can lie if you want to, but I prefer to let the person know that I’ll not submit to his grilling.

Nunya. Can I have your badge number please?

Any and all lawful purposes. Can I have your badge number please?

Also, "Not today, Fedboi" works just as well for either question.

You must be feeling better. You're getting all feisty!

During my annual a few years ago my Dr said

"I'm supposed to ask you if you have any guns in your house, but, since this is Texas I just assume everyone does."

I replied.... "If I didn't, could you write me a prescription for one? And, would my insurance cover it?"

He thought that was hilarious.

oh that is good
my VA doc asks each 6 months when i see her, maybe this time i will ask for a prescription as well, i usually just give her the stare and move on to next question VA likes to ask....do you feel safe at home

That's a standard question on medicare annual wellness visit. I just say "Yes" without explaining i have a Ninja in the closet 4 attack dogs, and an alligator moat... oh. were you asking about my cane and if i have fall risk hazards? Question is too open-ended, but yes i feel extremely safe. As Charles once said "If you want to FEEL safe, carry a lucky rabbits foot...If you want to BE safe, carry a .45"

I figure Academy asks so they can sell gun safes and locks to new-gun-owner Liberals...
