Just calmly answer "no" no need to become argumentive or confrontational. It's none of their business. This is the answer to those asking a question they have no business asking, required or not.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

One of the best responses I've heard was a gentleman who asked the individual who posed the question if anyone in the office had been provided training by their employer in the storage of firearms, firearms safety or firearms law. When the answer was no, he asked if their malpractice insurance carrier was aware they were asking questions of patients for which they had no specific training or expertise.
That was my response to the question - if asked.

No guns in my house, just pit bulls, PTSD rescue Dobermans and other attack dogs from various third world war zones, several hundred gallons of highly corrosive, volatile and poisonous liquids, and lots of sugary sweet soft drinks.
But no guns, they’re dangerous...
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

You freaking dunce. You know how few drs hunt? Please enlighten me. Maybe I am just lucky in how often I have been able to find good medical help. Off the top of my head, of the medical and sort of medical we use currently: My opthalmalogist, optician, ENT, general practicioner, pediatrician, dentist, pediatric dentist...that's all I got. Perhaps if you are are in a position to need a specialist to figure out what crawled up your backside or relieve some pressure on the brain, the field would be narrowed, but that is not the general case. There are plenty who do and probably plenty who do not; plenty either way. Spend your money wisely.

Just answer "No"
If you really want to sell yourself as an enlightened individual, Put some bitch like squeal in your voice and a shocked look on your face as you say "no"

Last time I was asked that question, I asked what a question like that was doing on a "Medical" questionnaire? The nurse had no idea.

This chit is what? 10 years old by now news wise and the crap continues to come to the surface.... I'm flat amazed that its been around so long alreayd that not everyone has heard it already.
Of course as noted, depending on where you choose to live, I suspect I could go the rest of my life adn never have that question asked to me by any doctor I would choose to see....

Guns? Wouldn't have any around the place. Don't you know they're dangerous?

Before you go to the doctor, put all of your guns in the trunk of your car. Then you won't have any 'guns in your house'.

The Government now requires these questions be asked of people on Medicare, and probably everyone else. It took less than 15 seconds to determine that's false. Don't fall for the BS without making at least a minimal effort to see if it's real http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/medicare.asp
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Re the VA questions, my doc is a cool gal, former Army doctor.
When she asked if I ever felt abused at home, I hestitated and she said.
"Only when you deserve it".
We both had a good chuckle.
I've never been asked about guns at the VA. The only private doc who ever asked was my podiatrist, and he was a neighbor. A bit of a dork.
