But just like the 2A, the 1A is subject to some restrictions. Here, the doctors' 1A rights of free speech head butt patients' constitutional privacy rights and, indirectly, their 2A rights. Many gun owners would feel pressed upon to answer these questions and, in at least some instances, doctors have refused to examine or treat patients who exercise their rights. All Florida did was to narrowly limit the 1A rights of doctors in the course of examination or treatment of a patient unless medically necessary.
