every single time I go to the V.A. Hospital for any kind of appointment, I am asked in the pre-screening if I am having any emotional problems or feelings of depression. My response is always this: I am a Christian. What would I have to be distressed about? Shuts them up every time!

Asking about depression I can accept. At least depression is a medical condition. Asking about guns is beyond the pale.

I went in one time to a quick care clinic for a serious cut that required stitches. The admitting nurse started asking me questions about sex; the number and sex of partners, frequency, even positions. I was flabbergasted and I finally said "Really? What does this have to do with me and my injury?" Not a particularly clever response, but the nurse skipped the questions.
