Sometime back a remember hearing some controversy surrounding the topic of doctors asking patients questions during routine check ups that focused on did they have firearms in their house and if so how many and do they lock them up etc.
That said, what do people think the odds are that in the near future your premium could be directly related to things like firearms? If you own them then you are considered more of a risk and thus your cost more to insure. Just wondering what people think as today's Scotus ruling has me thinking.

It has us all thinking. However, for the time being, we're going to be suspending discussion of the PPACA and surrounding issues.
