Re: Doctors asking if you own a gun

At my last annual medical exam while in the USAF, I was asked on a questionnaire if I owned firearms. It had only YES or NO boxes. I didn't check either one of them, and said so to the young sergeant at the desk. She ended up going and getting a doctor, who asked me about it. I stated that I didn't see how it was relevant and asked why they needed to know. He pointed out the questions about depression, thoughts of self-harm, etc. I said I had already answered NO to those, so again, what was the relevance, sir. He ended up writing "declined to answer" below the question, and signing beside it. Done deal. I think they were a bit irritated about it, but I didn't have any problems after that.
