Leftist demrats have been at this for years now. Many doctor and dentist offices have the question on that form you have to fill out when you visit them. The best response is no response. To wit: Do not say you have, have not and/or are getting a gun. None of their business.
You’re right - I should have said nothing but I couldn’t resist the urge to boldly proclaim my rights. Probably on a watch list to be sure, but then again, I’ve been a Freeper for a decade!
My wife has run into this twice. Both times she has answered, I’m not going to answer that question. The nurses both took that as an affirmative on owning guns. My wife quickly corrected them by reminding them that no comment meant just that and nothing more.
