EMAIL EXCHANGE: A couple of weeks ago, an anti-gun doctor 
left a message in the mail box that records comments from visitors 
to the DSGL web site. He seemed like a polite fellow, if a bit 
misguided, so a few of us responded to his message. Dr. Andrew 
Johnstone developed a conversation that we thought was worth 
saving for your enjoyment. Please visit this link on our web site:

NEW DSGL CONTACT INFO: There is now a page on the 
DSGL web site with contact information for active DSGL 
members in several cities and states. This info is made available 
for journalists who might wish to contact a DSGL member in their 
geographic area and for citizens who need help dealing with anti-
gun propagandizing by their physician. If you are a health care 
professional, we would love to add your name to the list.

INTERNAL EMAIL DISCUSSION LIST: DSGL maintains an 
email discussion list for discussions on internal DSGL affairs. If 
you are a health care professional and would like to participate in 
these discussions, you might consider joining the email list. Just 
send an email to doctors@keepandbeararms.com. Please tell us a 
little about yourself, and why you would like to be a member.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR ARTICLES: Have you written a gun-related article 
that has been published in the local newspaper? Are you planning 
to write an article, but don't know where to send it? If you are a 
health care professional, DSGL may be interested in publishing 
your article on our web site. Please contact us at: 
doctors@keepandbeararms.com.

Physicians, Firearms Counseling, and Legal Liability - by Frederick A. Paola, M.D., J.D.

This excellent article in a medical journal should be printed out 
and sent to your personal physician or local medical organization. 
It explains why physicians who counsel patients to rid themselves 
of their firearms may be incurring a serious legal liability.
